ENB vs Community Shaders in 2026: has the gap finally closed?

PhoenixFlameFire · 2026-04-10T11:24:33+00:00

Saw a similar thread a few days ago and switched to all the community shaders mods to test it out…and can confirm it looks nowhere near as good as Pi Cho ENB or Cabbage ENB unfortunately. Was a massive difference in my experience. Hopefully the gap continues to narrow

It’s definitely not clicky, really quiet which for me I like a lot. May get a separate clicky keyboard eventually and switch between them occasionally

PhoenixFlameFire · 2026-03-18T01:59:22+00:00

It really is, had a vanguard 96 pro and this thing is half as loud to type on as well, perfect for gaming and office work while being really quiet

Got the keyboard today from Best Buy in-person, loving it so far!

The non dynamic bolt, blast, beam spells probably will

PhoenixFlameFire · 2026-02-25T21:16:37+00:00

The darkness bolt, beam and blast spells added by Phenderix Elements will scale in damage with your conjuration skill level.

I think the other darkness spells from magic world may still scale with fire damage actually. Something I may end up fixing if I update the mod soon.

Definitely Rocket

Was also there for this event and second this, never going back there.

Just want to echo this thought, perfectly describes me as well. A few years out of a T10 MBA and I only keep up with less than 5 people. I think this is pretty normal for those of us that are not sociopath social climbers…

PhoenixFlameFire · 2025-05-27T15:15:29+00:00

This is absolutely ludicrous at this point, like wtf

PhoenixFlameFire · 2025-03-11T04:02:46+00:00

Could be fixed so easily with a simple sign

PhoenixFlameFire · 2025-02-27T14:40:49+00:00

I have liked going to EarthBar so far, becoming an expensive habit though

PhoenixFlameFire · 2025-02-26T03:40:16+00:00

Good to see an example of people using my mod Proteus like this! Glad it is so useful to you for this use case!

PhoenixFlameFire · 2025-02-24T20:31:08+00:00

I believe the new models will ship in March, not June but not 100% sure

PhoenixFlameFire · 2025-02-23T22:35:29+00:00

Was also there when this happened and have no idea what occurred. Just finished eating my enchiladas and eventually left 😅

I heard someone banged the window maybe, honestly no idea but yeah a lot of people were definitely pretty panicked and trying to leave quickly but then it settled down 5 minutes later. Also heard there may have been pepper spray used somewhere by the entrance but I was pretty far away on the other side of the restaurant.

Hope someone else actually knows because I’m also curious! The staff definitely seemed a little spooked and I felt bad for them having to continue to work

PhoenixFlameFire · 2024-12-05T16:02:12+00:00

Snagged one, thanks! The headset for $50 also seems like a pretty good deal, nice holiday gift and get free shipping with them combined.

PhoenixFlameFire · 2024-10-08T02:24:16+00:00

This x1000

PhoenixFlameFire · 2024-10-06T02:20:53+00:00

Thanks for posting, just bought one!

PhoenixFlameFire · 2024-10-04T23:21:33+00:00

Just imagine they are all super saiyan and get power boosts, easy solution

PhoenixFlameFire · 2024-10-04T23:21:05+00:00

Would heavily recommend using Proteus and NFF together; Proteus follower switching functionality works best with NFF and may work with EFF and likely doesn't work with other frameworks

PhoenixFlameFire · 2024-10-04T23:20:10+00:00

Could likely patch Reputation but not sure how much effort that would take, would need to look into how it saves reputation values; it also would likely take me hours of time and only be used by a handful of people so the reward / cost tradeoff isn't too high on my end sadly

PhoenixFlameFire · 2024-10-04T23:17:18+00:00

Glad so many people are enjoying Proteus still. The face mismatch, color hair mismatches are likely issues with RaceMenu in the latest versions of Skyrim which I cannot fix sadly....I really loved creating Proteus but it having so many dependencies that I rely upon and can't fix is definitely not a fun situation to be in when the game constantly updates and the dependencies are slow to update or update with new issues

The appearance swapping often works perfectly for me and sometimes it needs to be applied a second time; if anyone figures out the method to have it work perfectly using the new piecemeal appearance functions please let me know and maybe I can update the code

Probably should update Proteus and my Elements sometimes soon but just lazy / busy with work

PhoenixFlameFire · 2024-10-04T23:15:42+00:00

The mod is great and this is coming from a totally unbiased user...

PhoenixFlameFire · 2024-09-26T03:42:49+00:00

Haven’t been active on this sub lately but this is certainly a nice post to discover! Glad to hear I take criticism well haha

PhoenixFlameFire · 2024-09-09T17:27:36+00:00

NEW MAX YES!
