Captain Poofter

i turn off upscaling and enable dedicated fullscreen immediately, and then i get mad if the game cant run well without it. it literally NEVER looks better. the edges are ugly, frame rate stutters, things look patchy cross hatched, weirdness, i hate it.

Clair Obscur (amazing) is the most recent offender. all the default settings it chose for my computer made it run like crap AND look ugly. disabled ai upscaling and enabled dedicated fullscreen, and the game looks beautiful and runs like butter on my aging 3070.

i have no idea why the industry started making these the default settings but i wish they would stop.

I don’t consider ray tracing to be in the same category as these other technologies, though. ray tracing can look fantastic as long as it doesn’t kill the frame rate.

this game was such janky fun!

wall climbing with the swords was so awesome and i loved that the devs didn’t patch it they just embraced it

Dark Fall 1 & 2 (specifically not 3)

couple of my favorite point and click adventures, and I’ve played a lot
