I’ve been playing the original Call Of Duty games, starting at the first one. I beat it and United Offensive. I’m working on the second game.
It’s all in service of a write up about the core identity and the design philosophy of the games. How the original games were fresh for their time, and how COD4 used a lot of the sensibilities of the WW2 games that preceded it. There’s a lot to mine and digest in the old games, COD4, and Modern Warfare 2 as a contrast and turning point. I just don’t know if people care enough to follow it.
I have no ill will to the flamboyant of the many genders, but if a high end component doesn’t have a non-RGB setting or option then I’m not gonna use it. It’s the opposite of a selling point for me.
I have a bunch of these stupid-ass components in my machine, but my case takes care of that bullshit. It is a monolithic black slab with special baffles to prevent light from getting out. It does not even have a fucking power LED. I love it so much.
That rainbow effect is just the default demo mode and is the peripheral’s manufacturer’s way to advertise that the LEDs inside are RGB. This means that the LEDs can be customized to be any color or combination of color that the owner wants at the press of a button. It eas say and simple to do.
The whole point of it is customization. And yet for some reason a lot of people leave it on the default demo rainbow mode after buying it.
I’m sure a fair chunk of people are like me that don’t care about RGB and only got it because it’s easier/cheaper to get components with RGB than without. And I’m not downloading bloatware just to turn it off.
There is FOSS that can control most RGB schemes that can be controlled from software.
Though I’m sortof like you in that I installed nothing, so I don’t have references or a user experience. Luckily, I could turn off all the BS in the BIOS, so I have a nice and dark machine without having to dig.
“Well, you know, you’ll just be sitting there, minding your own business, and they’ll come, marching in and crawl up your leg and start biting the inside of your ass, and you’ll be all like: ‘EHY! GET OUT OF MY ASS YOU STUPID RAINBOWS!’”
I honestly thought it was just a way for manufacturers to showcase the colours their gear could produce, but that it also turns out a lot of people are either too lazy to set up their own colour configurations
