Dubs, I still feel silly and a little bad about it. I know it's such a cool affect! I don't think that a slower option would help me out (I get motion sick over the smallest things like this). It might help for others though! I think for the majority of people that this would be most helpful. I know for my part, the better option would be to have a button that could stop the scrolling.
My dear, the truth is simple. We're all mad here.

No, it's okay! Don't feel bad about it. I can absolutely sympathize with your problem - I'm actually almost legally blind, so in my daily browsing I have to use Firebug a lot to alter the appearance of sites I visit. For example, low contrast text is invisible for me. You have no idea how many times I've wished for sites that use that sort of stuff to just have a button to give me a designer-approved higher-contrast version!

I thought I had the scrolling set to slow enough to not give trouble, but mine was more so of a guess since motion sickness is a feeling that is completely alien to me. Your feedback is actually really important, and yeah, I hadn't thought about just having a button to stop it to be 100% sure. It should be pretty easy to implement, so don't worry. :D

[Edit: Done! Now you can stop the bg. :D]

It looks absolutely amazing Dubs! When I first checked it I thought the layout was giving me motion sickness but it isn't now so I think that was just a side effect of me feeling absolutely horrible earlier. I think though I'm more interested in watching it move than anything else. It looks so cool. :D

Thank you Dubs, I really appreciate your thoughtfulness and empathy! <3 I think the slow motion scrolling was probably good for the majority of people (I get motion sickness pretty easily, so, I'm a minority case). I'm thankful I didn't cause you troubles, and as a visitor I appreciate your welcome-ness for feedback (and implementing something for it).

I love the colors in the artwork, and now that I can pause it, I can absorb so much more of it!

Crystal: Ah whew! Thank you :)

Snow: Still, the fix was so easy and it doesn't have any other repercussions, so don't worry at all :D
Thank you again :D
