what psychopaths out there be clicking "load game" on first launch.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago

And then there are games that try to immediately start the first mission to make things more “immersive”

When you launch a game for the first time...

Exit Game

"Cool, it works. But I don't have time to play right now."

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

For me, it's about all the ini files that need to be set up before I can mod the game.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

In my situation it's usually a "you know what? I actually don't want to play a game after all."

Happens more often when I have a weed tolerance, and the high wears off before I can even go back inside to boot the computer. (Which is why sometimes I'll load up the game before I go outside to hit the dab rig. That way I'll at least get 10 minutes of enjoyment out of the game.)

As someone who’s been there, you really need to start talking to a therapist about substance use disorder. There is much more to life waiting for you after you put in the hard work to unlock it. There is help, you are not alone.

Disable the Vaseline Squad.

  • Motion Blur

  • Depth of Field

  • Chromatic Aberration

  • Film Grain

  • Vignettes

If it makes the visuals less clear, it can go to hell. So also toss in floating numbers and, if they are truly ugly, enemy health bars.

God of War (2018) defaults to using some kind of ML-based upscaling that made me think the whole thing was jpeg compressed. It didn't look good until I disabled that.

[–] callyral@pawb.social 1 points 3 hours ago

In my opinion, a bit of motion blur is great, specially for when your frame rate is really low. Sure, it blurs things, technically reducing detail, but it adds more motion information to each frame.

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Unpopular opinion: I consider antialiasing to be part of the vaseline squad these days.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 points 2 hours ago

me ? I disable polygons. ain't no place for that modern shit in my computer

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

not unpopular just highly depends on the method. super sampling wouldn't create that effect but approximate methods do.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I don't even know the difference between the options. In my day we had 1, 2, 3, and 4. What is DLSS? They have played us for absolute fools.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 4 points 2 hours ago

DLSS, TXAA, MSAA, TLDS, XLSX... give me an encyclopedia article next to each of these so I can make an informed choice please

Always adjust graphics settings first. Make sure the correct resolution is set, turn off bloom, turn off depth of field, etc etc.

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Turn off shaky cam/head bobbing and motion blur.

Where is the fov slider?!

[–] spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Gotta invert that mouse

[–] Gustephan@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Big true. You can't just start the game, you have to go into options to set the volume slider down to 3% so you can un-mute your speakers without shattering your ear drums.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Subtitles? Yes they're important, but the first thing I do when I launch a new game is go straight to the graphics settings. Controls come next. Accessibility options are the last thing I change before I launch a game.

I finally grew out of my incessant need for inverted y. I think I played a couple of games that couldn't invert it in a row after not playing FPSs for a long time and broke the habit.

For flying I still use inverted, of course.

Incorrect! Y-Axis: Normal

I hate games that default to inverted. Obviously, the superior option is the Halo trick: tell the player to "Look up using the right stick or mouse" and then set default inverse or not based on what the player does.

Subtitles on, vsync off, and then mess around with controls for half an hour in my usual experience :3

Gotta change shitty default WASD to based superior ESDF

[–] codexarcanum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I love that there are still keyboard warrior out there fighting their own battles. I used to center around my left index finger on the J key (YGHJ), which basically puts the entire keyboard into easy reach of the left hand. I gave it up in the early 00's though once WASD had been pretty thoroughly standardized. (There were also a lot of games in that era with dogshit customization options due to consolification. At least customization is considered standard procedure these days.)
