Sponsor Chat: Add reply highlighting
For info on installation see previous post.
The newest script adds reply highlighting so you can keep track of who replies to you.
Sponsor Chat: Open Images in new tab script
The sponsor chat is new (or back as one would say) and there are few things that need to be worked out. The main thing that bugs me is that images can't be opened in a new tab. So I made a Greasemonkey script for Firefox or Tampermonkey on Chrome. Was inspired by @FisherX post on making the chat look old again.
Install one of those on your browser and add a new script. Then you can copy the script located on my Github

I'm still making comics. So here is the newest one. There are a lot more from the the time between this one and the last one. So go check them out at The Darkland
RTX Logo
I'm a nerd when it comes to logo design. I salivate when I see a nice clean logo. If a logo hits me just right, I may just sit there and stare in a zen like state. So, that said, I feel their isn't a great knowledge of the new RTX logo. I've only seen it in promotional emails, and I assume it will be on the banners, booklets, and maybe RTX shirt this year. Since the logo is hard to find now, I'm posting it. I also assume that @Jon made this. If Jon Risinger didn't design the logo, kudos to who did.
Look at that wonderful 80's styling. I'm always a fan of that. What's nice about the logo is the simplicity, and that it immediately says 80s. Logos need to immediately get the message or intention across from a glance. People shouldn't need to stare to see the intention. The RTX logo uses exaggeration of old VHS tracking issues prevalent in the 80s. You have the offset of two color tracks, blue and red, giving the logo a low quality feel. This also has the effect of blurriness when there really isn't much. Your eyes tend to be a bit messed up while trying to make sense of the colors and lose focus.
Then there is the "2015" on the bottom left. It uses that cool, edgy 80s font that could be hand drawn but is still a bit clean. It has that offset flat black to give it a pop. Finally, there is the electric blue color for the heightened 80s goodness.
All of the design choices work together to give a simple and effective logo. It uses minimalism to great effect. Huge fan of this logo.
