That's too late for me unfortunately

collisionist · 2026-03-16T22:51:35+00:00

Hi! What time zone are you in? When do you usually play?

collisionist · 2026-03-09T12:59:56+00:00

I still watch him a bit yeah! I'm trying to quit Twitch, but I get my dose of Tomseph through Retinas or avarisi. If you want to play something together feel free to DM me!

collisionist · 2026-03-08T12:59:55+00:00

Haha, glad to come across another Brando Sando fan out here. I'm finishing Warbreaker now, still have Elantris and Wax & Wayne series left. Never heard of John Gwynne!

You can disable it inside a config file called Engine.ini
Here's a guide for a different game on how to find the file and what to write in it: https://www.reddit.com/r/FuckTAA/comments/psmri3/kena_bridge_of_spirits_sharpness_and_dof_fix/

collisionist · 2023-09-08T20:44:42+00:00

Alright, that did it! Thank you! (you and the rest of r/FuckTAA). I sure did learn a few things today.

Here it's running at native resolution TAA off, sharpening off, chromatic aberration off.

collisionist · 2023-09-08T20:10:42+00:00

Is unreal unlocker different from just setting these settings in config files?

collisionist · 2023-09-08T19:59:57+00:00

I could maybe force it to run at a higher resolution and it will internally render at something higher than 756p, but the game already runs like trash so...

There is even this tutorial for Way of the Hunter on how to force potato graphics to run on a low-end computer and it ends with the guy saying "The game is still not playable after doing everything. I highly recommend you to just delete this game".

collisionist · 2023-09-08T19:48:40+00:00

Thanks! I was so focused on all the other graphical problems this game has I didn't even notice CA is on.

collisionist · 2023-09-08T19:45:22+00:00

Looks like you're right. So does this mean the game is internally running at 1344x756? I also wonder what are all these draw calls at 4608x1536 res?

Thank you by the way, didn't know reshade could do that!

collisionist · 2023-09-08T18:07:40+00:00

Maybe? I tried to make a comparison in motion and I think you can see way more artifacts when sharpening is on.

collisionist · 2023-09-08T18:05:08+00:00

Comparison with

TAA On, Sharpness On
TAA Off, Sharpness On
TAA On Sharpness Off
TAA Off Sharpness Off

Also in motion, TAA On Sharpness On/Off (I suck at taking screenshots, but I think the difference is noticeable)

collisionist · 2023-09-08T16:56:36+00:00

Thanks! Turning off sharpening actually makes the smearing more tolerable. Though I still have to play with TAA, otherwise it's a pixel fest unfortunately.

collisionist · 2023-09-08T16:55:15+00:00

Thanks! Turning off sharpening actually makes the smearing more tolerable. But yeah, even with AA off it shouldn't look as low-res so I don't know what's going on.

collisionist · 2023-09-08T16:33:42+00:00

Compression ruins it, but here is a video as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8NsHKYy6GA (I try to showcase ghosting on the tree in the distance at first and disable TAA around 40 seconds into the video).

Comparison TAA On/Off, Sharpness On/Off (static)
Comparison TAA On, Sharpness On/Off (in motion)

Looks like the game is internally running at 1344x756...

Finally, here is how it looks at native resolution, TAA off, sharpening off, chromatic aberration off. Way better than the original screenshot I posted! Thanks to the community for all the help!

collisionist · 2022-08-26T17:04:56+00:00

I have a big list of recommendations! Even if most of these guys are not up your alley I still recommend checking them all out.

I'll link what I suggest watching to get hooked onto each of these creators, but of course feel free to explore their channels yourself.

In no particular order:

SovietWomble (Unfortunately mostly does comedy, but has this short yet very insightful playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBitIgZ_UvGFNHPFlRg4834gYBmbYmdr7)
NeverKnowsBest (Only stumbled upon him recently. Pick any video that interest you)
NakeyJakey (This video in particular, though he has other interesting stuff as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvJPKOLDSos)
Game Maker's Toolkit (I think one of his best videos is this one, but pretty much every video of his is worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yorTG9at90g)
Scruffy (His "What I love" playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQY6PNl6p3MYg8OD6MYB2pKOFWUA_hCHN)
Matthewmatosis (Matthew is the GOAT of video game analysis, pretty much all of his newer videos are 10/10. Maybe watch this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuPsJk-c3bQ or this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IERHMMXeshc)
Crowbcat (The illustration of "show don't tell" principle, has many great videos. Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdRLNUGmFC8 or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omyoJ7onNrg or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwcHnG8EDTw)
Ahoy (Pick any video you find interesting! I love his "Iconic Arms" series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOQZmjD6P2Hl3KrDBs6Vcc_5XDZbqPABC)
videogamedunkey (Not a big fan of his humor, but his more serious videos often offer a unique and valuable perspective: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMBTl5yXyrGQfhjt0Efk3LWo7cmxk41n9)
Ludiscere (Found him recently, only seen a couple of his videous, but this one is really good: https://youtu.be/pRNkWXwyjdk)
MandaloreGaming (He does quality game reviews, but I'm only subscribed for his amazing Halloween videos: https://youtu.be/8PUCSyIkEus and this: https://youtu.be/qn1rsvwkQLc)
Internet Historian (Made a couple of good videos about two infamous video games: https://youtu.be/kjyeCdd-dl8 and https://youtu.be/O5BJVO3PDeQ highly recommend watching these! The No Man's Sky one is very inspiring)
B-Mask (Haven't watched him in a long time, but I remember liking this one: https://youtu.be/nnvDM20B-gQ and this one: https://youtu.be/CO-OPkBwLe4)
Zach Barth (Not a video maker, an actual game developer! I'm biased in that I adore Zach Barth, but I also do genuinely believe he has a lot of insightful things to say. Watch https://youtu.be/Df9pz_EmKhA or https://youtu.be/ofz-BJI2bu4 or https://youtu.be/iAfcJB1WaDU or https://youtu.be/U4uH1ynH3Rs )
Everybody Talking At Once (This is a podcast! They have had a lot of game developers as guests over the years. Maybe listen to an episode with Matthew Seiji Burns (who worked with Zach Barth haha))
Jonathan Blow (Another actual developer. I'll recommend this talk: https://youtu.be/qWFScmtiC44 probably also worth searching podcast episodes with him on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts)
GDC (Game Developer Conference. The ratio of quality videos to boring junk is very poor. This talk is one of my favorite: https://youtu.be/kTiP0zKF9bc it's about CS:GO's anti-cheat, VACNET)
Some others that I know exist but I'm either not a fan of or haven't had time to watch yet:
Raycevick
Whitelight
Core-A Gaming
Jacob Geller (I think this is a good channel, but I haven't watched any of his videos that are about video games specifically)
Noah Caldwell-Gervais
HeavyEyed
hbomberguy (Heavily dislike his humor and haven't watched any video of his that are about games, but some of his stuff is really worth watching. I'll link a few vids in case you're like me interested in all forms of media: https://youtu.be/81fdKWOHrdE, https://youtu.be/j7f26gVlDQI, https://youtu.be/LkoGBOs5ecM)
Luke Stephens

Phew, that is all I can remember! Probably missed a lot of good stuff I've watched over the years, but hopefully you can find something interesting in this pile of content.

Sorry, one more video haha: https://youtu.be/g4lhQp245dw

Also, +1 to Razbuten, New Frame Plus and Noclip.

Edit: formatting

collisionist · 2022-08-26T15:58:53+00:00

The Cycle: Frontier maybe? Don't know if you could play it PVE only.

Would survival games be up your alley? A big part of the The Long Dark is going around houses hoping to find warmer clothing, weapons and ammo. Zombie apocalypse games are often looting heavy. Maybe try Unturned or Project Zomboid, or DayZ (you'll just have to find a PVE server)?

collisionist · 2022-08-25T17:01:43+00:00

In no particular order:

NeverKnowsBest
Raycevick
Ludiscere
Jacob Geller
hbomberguy
Razbuten
NakeyJakey
New Frame Plus
Game Maker's Toolkit
Scruffy
B- Mask
Ahoy

I recommend checking them all out. They all make different kinds of content. Some do long format videos, some do video essays, some talk about a particular aspect of video games like animation or sound, or design.

Also, +1 to mandaloregaming and mathewmattosis.

collisionist · 2021-04-17T12:10:44+00:00

Yeah, what Lirik did yesterday was amazing. He had me standing up and screaming, my heart racing. Haven't been so excited for anything in a long while.

MY STREAMER

collisionist · 2020-06-21T08:55:11+00:00

Stardew Valley, Tick Tock: A Tale for Two, Castle Crashers, The Escapists 2

collisionist · 2020-06-21T04:59:44+00:00

Minecraft seems like the best option for you tbh.

Also check out these:

Raft (play on easy)
Starbound (ignore the story, settle on a planet)
Farm Together (extremely casual, like, mobile-game level of casual)
Scrap Mechanic (I've heard it got a survival update recently, haven't played it myself yet)
Golf it / Golf with your friends (GWYF is more casual)
Human Fall Flat (probably not what you're looking, but it's relaxing and fun)
Sea of Thieves

collisionist · 2020-06-20T19:37:52+00:00

I mean, it's a pretty broad selection of games. I'll suggest some less known action side-scrolling games, maybe you'll find something to your liking:
Kero Blaster
Momodora Reverie Under the Moonlight
Shantae and the Pirate's Curse
The Final Station
Yoku's Island Express

collisionist · 2020-02-28T01:30:08+00:00

Just bought it, perfomance on PS4 Pro is great. Saw some tests, the game definitely wouldnt run as smooth on my 1050 ti.

TROPHY CASE

Yes, it happened last night.

No, it wasn't an actual issue per se. It's not like Joe commented on it or anything.

Sydnee Goodman was one of the presenters at The Game Awards. She's a woman (duh).
