Limbo is a beautiful game. NaissancE is a lesser known game, which also has a similar look to Limbo, but in a 3D environment.

I always enjoyed the graphic art of M.C. Escher. He was born in Holland and most of his graphic work that gets my attention was done between 1939 and 1950. Don't have any examples,. but they are easy enough to get. I believe he lived from 1898 to 1972.

Yeah, Escher stuff is great! Used to have a book on optical illusions with some of his art in it - great book. Friend of mine has a nice Escher picture up on his wall too.

Also ... up to 2,143 images now. May upload again at 2,200.

Yeah, I had a book full of his illustrations too. They were quite unusual compared to other graphic artists. Still very relevant.

I usually either throw a desktop from whatever anime currently has my fancy, or a video game. Currently Im rocking Mobile Suit Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans at home. I am at work right now, and am just using the windows theme for landscapes. I might change it to some fallout 4 one if i can find a good one though.

I use to have a desktop background of any trips I've been on but after an update with Windows I stuck with the default blue Windows logo background. Kinda like it

[Jhop]

Lol, its my work machine. I don't have any say in the OS. And Win7 isnt that old . I have win10 at home on my custom machine though.

This background?

One of the guys on the Laserist Facebook page was involved with making that - he may be on PL too. Yes, they used lasers to do it.

From the color, it looks like a single line argon. I also have a Windows 7 laptop that I use only for my spectrometer. It doesn't seem to work on any platform above 7.

Not argon, it's RGB - I've seen some of the other pictures from when they were doing the take. I'd say it looks more like 473 in the picture I linked - but differences in monitors could do that. Believe it's a combination of B/G anyway.

I've got a tri-monitor setup at home, here's the background I use:

It's sized down from 4800x900 (3x 16:9 displays)Looks really badass stretched across three side-by-side monitors.

@trencheel303 I ended up upgrading to 10, but then I also downgraded back to 7. Win10 was just a buggy mess on my PC and nothing really worked right but everything is better on 7. Maybe when win10 gain more age I`ll try it out again, it is a pretty slick design.

Thats weird you had buggy issues with 10. I have been using it since the free upgrade dropped with no issues. And there was a big update for win10 a couple weeks ago, prob ironed out more bugs. Works great for me

Some machines just don't seem to agree with it - I've had very few issues myself.

That said, that update you mentioned broke a few things here at the office. Mostly DisplayLink devices that people here are using and some printers. That was frustrating.

Yes diachi!
