Web design tip: don't have animations within a short distance of text, as human eyes evolved to follow the flashiest/fastest-moving thing around, which makes such text literally illegible to many of us. This particular site takes the cake in that regard by animating the whole page background.
- gpvos 6mo agoTrue, but the site is called Evil Genius Labs for a reason. And it's not too hard to switch off, there's a clear prompt in the bottom right corner. (Didn't try mobile.)
- zabzonk 6mo agoI turned everything off, but what's with the flashing ".ca" at the top of the page??

If i can't read the first paragraph, there's no point in scanning further down the page (and certainly not to look for something as esoteric as an option to disable what should not be there in the first place). Grumble, grumble.
- gpvos 6mo agoThis is probably why evil geniuses usually lose in the end.
- pards 6mo agoThe moving background detracts and distracts from the content making it hard to focus.
