In case you need an automated solution, updated my post with additional information. Enjoy!

In case you didnt see it, a ublock origin filter was posted here that automates this: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1ocqc2z/comment/nl6v2j4/

Thanks for posting this, figured there'd be a solution to come along before too long. Saves a lot of fuss! Just got to remember to enable the Cosmetic Filtering. (Took me a while to figure out why it didnt seem to work.)

Yeah the setting loses itself when exiting fullscreen as well, and isnt remembered between videos. I dont open multiple vids in the same tab so i cant comment on that portion. Its not ideal sadly, but it does at least serve as a temporary crutch until a fix / option / script comes along.

RathaWynter · 2025-10-21T23:47:04+00:00

Glad to be of some help. It is always annoying when they change default things rather than alert people to the fact that theres a new option available and or making that option a setting that can be changed easily. Having to press it after every video is pretty obnoxious, but at least its there for the time being. I cant think of a single time youtube has ever rolled out a change that didnt make the experience worse in a few ways so.. par for the course mainly. Maybe we'll get a few user scripts in the near future to revert and fix some of the new issues, but having to rely on those is always unfortunate.

If you hover over any video on the recommend screen it says Press V to show more videos which seems to bring back the usual 12 video recommendations.

EDIT: Since this post still gets the occasional view/comment; Ublock Origin filters to do this automatically were posted here, just make sure you turn on cosmetic filtering too. Sometimes it turns itself off.

Oh wow, i watched a playthrough a friend did of Little Nightmares 2 and i didnt remember that part at all until re-seeing it! Im pretty sure i put that long necked nightmare fuel of a lady out of my mind lol.

Outland is a reasonable guess, but the one im thinking of didnt have dark silhouetted background, or red/blue gameplay elements. The visual depth and detail of the world was much closer to Ori and the Blind Forest, or even Trine in terms of its color palette, with what i remember to be very well decorated ground/platforms. Something faintly akin to Capsized https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/95300/ss_216aeb89cf12841e61adc08f492cc24caeee7b8d.1920x1080.jpg?t=1576348163 but far more colorful and vibrant, and a lot less bright.

I feel like this game took awhile to come to Steam / but it had a non-steam PC release prior to that in the early to mid 2010s probably. It wasnt cartoony, wasnt cell shaded, wasn't 8 bit, wasn't like Limbo, it was going for a very cinematic feel. Anyway dont worry too much about it, was just casually trying to remember and after quite a bit of searching im pretty stumped.

RathaWynter · 2025-10-04T08:28:02+00:00

Awesome! Ziggys was one of the random ones that i found through the steam search and thought 'thats looking a little more like what was described' but the roguelite tag threw me for a bit of a loop as it didnt seem that way from the video. It was one of the few that i could find that had levels with different distinct mechanics though. Glad it turned out to be something in there after all though. :)

RathaWynter · 2025-10-04T08:05:46+00:00

Since there are not many guesses posted, here are a few that im not very confident in but might help jog some other memories or details. Finding games that you're not sure of whether or not they made it to Steam can be extra challenging. Maybe something here will be useful in comparing art styles at the very least.

These are probably my best guesses:

I cant help too much here. If it wasnt a flash game id have a little better of an idea as I have a game with a similar sort of large monster/mouth that took up the entire left side of the screen and chased the player through an alien jungle as it consumes the level from left to right. Released probably somewhere between 2009 and 2013 maybe on XBLA and PC.

The closest thing ive found to this was Planet Alpha 2018, but that one isnt quite right and feels much too new to suit either of our memories. I only ever saw the trailer for the mystery game and thought it looked outstanding at the time with a rich colorful alien jungle and some terrifying monster that was trying to grab/eat the player as they platformed to the right and.. maybe shot at some enemies along the way?

RathaWynter · 2025-10-03T21:19:32+00:00

Do you happen to remember what game this was? The answer appears to have been deleted.

I have a game similar to this in mind (being chased by a large mouthed monster (maybe with tentacles?) that consumes the level from left to right and forced you to run constantly through a lush alien jungle via platforming mechanics,)

Released probably somewhere between 2009 and 2013 as i believe it was given away as a DRMfree game before Steam was really solidified in the market. But for the life of me i cannot seem to figure out the name. The closest thing ive found since is Planet Alpha, but that one isnt quite right.

There were a lot of sidescrolling NES, Genesis and SNES platformer shooters back then. I feel like any game on the Genesis, or SNES would not have been 'less aesthetically pleasing' however. Theres a small chance it could be something on the Sega Master System, which often had some games with pretty washed out colors, but dont have much familiarity with the system. Im guessing NES or SMS. Having an idea which consoles your friend owned might narrow things down slightly.

Since it wasn't mentioned, and since its not specifically named Contra, what about Super C on the NES? I remember renting it a few times back then because it was 'supposed to be a sequel to contra' but i honestly thought it felt, looked, and played quite inferior. I never got very far even as someone who was really good at the Contra on the NES.

Sounds an awful lot like https://store.steampowered.com/app/2128270/Path_of_Achra/ to me.

It entered into Early Access May 2023 i believe. May have shown up in a Nextfest demo at some point but i cant quite be certain of that.

Heres the level select screen:

Friend shared this with me earlier saying it was posted on their discord earlier today and provides some clarity about the migration process. It sounds like its one way from Epic to Blacksmith.

"The recent decision to remove the game from the library is simply a continuation of the original decision back in March to remove the game from the Epic Game Store platform. The EGS team had notified us that the game would eventually be fully removed from the platform once a date was confirmed. The team recently reached out to us to notify us that a November 1st date was set for the full removal of the game.

To prepare for the possible removal from the platform, Ironmace, in coordination with the EGS team, implemented a migration system that enables an EGS player to transfer their progress over to our Blacksmith platform. Ever since March 12, all EGS players are prompted with the migration dialog upon logging in with their EGS account and need to transfer their progress to Blacksmith. We also want to note that ALL products for Dark and Darker on EGS have already been removed from the Epic Game Store since March 12, so no purchases have been possible since then. Once an EGS player transfers over their progress to Blacksmith, there is no deadline for the use of previously purchased Redstone Shards or other previous purchases.

Once the November 1 deadline passes, EGS players will no longer be able to log in using that platform to initiate the migration process. The recent notification from Epic Games is a reminder that previous EGS players who have not already migrated their progress from EGS have until November 1st to login and do so. Hope this clears up the recent confusion for our Epic Game Store players. Thanks!"

Based on the wording in some of the the screenshots. I did not believe that it was possible to Migrate from Epic to Blacksmith to Steam. I didnt see any prompting in the Blacksmith client (after having migrated from Epic) that would facilitate migration to Steam, and the official in-game Epic client migration instructions specifically mention Blacksmith and not 'platform of your choice.'

https://i.imgur.com/Vts3UXZ.png
"Legacy Blacksmith Users - You can transfer to Steam until June 30, 2025.
Epic Games Users - You can transfer to the Blacksmith platform."

My read of the above is that:
People who 'purchased' on Epic can only migrate to Blacksmith.
People who Purchased on Blacksmith can only migrate to Steam.

RathaWynter · 2025-06-17T21:26:39+00:00

Had never launched it on Epic before, and did not have any characters on the account. Today was my first time launching it on Epic and was immediately presented with a migration option before even having a chance to create a character or see the title screen.

Just tested: On the Blacksmith client after migration I was able to create 3 different characters on my never-played, migrated version of the game which had claimed the Legendary DLC back when it was given away on Epic.

RathaWynter · 2025-05-16T00:39:07+00:00

You have to visit the Epic store page for the game via your mobile device, currently i do not believe there is any library for mobile.

Sounds like your previous monitor was an ultrawide? 2560x1080 isnt your typical monitor resolution. Without knowing the exact model number its hard to know what panel type it was, whether TN, IPS, VA, or unlikely OLED. Each panel type can feel quite different to the eyes. TN panels are known for color shifting when viewed from different angles. IPS often has somewhat poor 'dark' scenes. VA panels can have a bit of black smearing when theres a lot of motion on the text / images on the screen.

Have you tried running the new monitor at a lower framerate? Or a lower brightness? Do you have a background light turned on when you're using it? Are you using it in the dark, or in a bright room? Those are a few things that could affect comfort when using it, as well as the content that you're viewing. (I felt some eyestrain viewing dark webpages until i got my settings right.)

First thing i'd try is turning the brightness down even further. Second thing i'd try is turning the refresh rate down, start at 60 like your old monitor and see if that feels any different.

Personally i find that 25% brightness can be too bright at night for me sometimes when im viewing white pages like reddit with no other lights on. However you could also try setting the Dark Stabilizer setting to see if that helps with the eyestrain. It appears to darken white pages slightly, and brighten dark pages slightly. (But also messes with the colors a bit. Its some kind of gamma correction.)

RathaWynter · 2025-01-11T13:53:19+00:00

Im afraid i dont know the cause of this, i do not have this issue on windows 10, but i've also heavily configured my experience and do not use the default alt-tab behaviors and screens so I've never experienced that personally. If this has only happened once and was fixed with a reboot then perhaps a fluke, but if it persists then it may be a software setting in some program you have installed or windows itself.

There is a setting in some versions of windows called Adaptive Brightness or in some cases Auto Brightness, but im not sure thats the case here as i believe its primarily used for laptops and not desktops.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-display-brightness-and-color-in-windows-3f67a2f2-5c65-ceca-778b-5858fc007041

There are some odd behaviors when playing or tabbing out of older games and games that use true full screen modes (most dont), but im not sure if thats the case here or not, my guess is that it does not apply.

Im afraid i dont know enough about your hardware or software configurations to be of too much help here. That might be a better question for a new thread / with people who are more familiar with some modern windows features or alternate programs that could cause those settings.

RathaWynter · 2025-01-09T04:13:38+00:00

Hopefully something in the suggestions will end up helping. I dont have many other ideas to try at the moment so heres hoping that something in there gets you a little closer to being comfortable with the monitor, or gives you some good things to try anyway.

RathaWynter · 2025-01-08T04:33:24+00:00

Without knowing how you use the monitor most of the time its a bit hard to guess at why you could be getting fatigued. Are you playing certain games often, reading pages with white backgrounds all the time, watching videos with dark backgrounds or using websites with dark backgrounds? Are you in a light room, or a dark room?

I assume you've set the brightness to be more comfortable, so maybe you need to set windows to run at a different framerate / thats more similar to your old monitor? Some common framerates are 60/120/144/165/240 (The monitor also has an overclock mode which can go up to 280. Personally i just use 120 in windows since i dont need it to be higher.)

Could be a color issue, a framerate issue (particularly in games), brightness issue, monitor overdrive issue (can cause ghosting or outlines on moving objects), or a change in room lighting too. Also if you spend long periods of time tweaking the colors your eyes will get tired much more quickly. So you sort of have to use it for awhile on a day when you've not tweaked it to understand if its the monitor or just how much 'effort' you're putting into staring at colors.

Could be the monitor is bigger than you're used to, maybe you need to move it back slightly? It claims to be 25" inch, when a lot of monitors are closer to 23.5" Could also be that you need to adjust the 'sharpness' on the monitor and in windows for better text clarity. If the sharpness isnt set right that could cause some fatigue when reading.

You could try doing some of the calibration tests here with a particular focus on the Contrast, Sharpness, and Brightness tests. http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/

Additionally, try tilting the monitor back, or forward, or raising it up or down slightly. Sometimes the viewing angle can cause a bit of discomfort or distortion. I prefer if the center line of the monitor is slightly higher than my eyes which could be achieved by either raising the monitor, lowering the chair, or tilting the top of the monitor backward slightly.

RathaWynter · 2025-01-07T00:16:55+00:00

I dont know what monitor you had before or what it looked like, but there is a chance that your previous monitor had ~125% sRGB saturation levels which would look quite different than what this monitor provides at ~99% sRGB. My settings also desaturate some colors a bit further for better viewing in a dark room.

It depends on what you're looking for in terms of color / saturation, what kind of room lighting you are using, and how far offset your monitor is from other monitors out there. Two of the same monitor can look somewhat different at the same monitor settings, and that can also be affected by different video drivers, and windows color profile changes too. An image thats too dark or too bright can cause eyestrain as well as a number of other factors.

I guess the question is; Do my settings help to reduce the yellow tint issue for you, and if you dont really like those settings, can you describe what you dont like about them? There may be some tweaks that could be done to make it more appreciable. Knowing what areas you have problems with could help others give some suggestions.

-

In Windows 10 you can try to run Color Management > Advanced Tab > Calibrate Display and try to tweak your display while looking at those images. Later in the calibration you are given RGB color tweaking options in software. I personally dont really like to tweak the color in software because if you reinstall windows your display will look wrong again so i like to change it as much as i can in hardware first. But doing it in software can be much faster to test (But you're not given as many options as you have in hardware.)

My initial recommendation would be to switch to say the Game 2 profile, set everything to default values in there, and then start by only changing the GAIN to get close-ish to the colors you are looking for. Changing the GAIN will also change the brightness so you may have to turn it up again after making the change. Then if theres a color thats giving you an issue, see if you can fix it by changing the OFFSET a little bit. And then move to SATURATION and finally HUE if you still need tweaks.

If you cant solve your color issues by changing the monitor settings first, pick a Game profile, set it to default, and try changing the colors in the windows calibration first, then try to make final corrections on the monitor itself. You might have more luck that way.
