@lanodan @cell Japan took Kanji from China, but the pronunciation is completely different.

@LukeAlmighty I like lens flare when it makes sense, like your character wearing a bulky helmet, or it's a little detail to hint at the fact the player is not human but some machine.
It's often take too far though.

Chromatic aberrations are fine in small amounts for certain effects, never really had problems with those.

Motion blur though... absolute dog shit.
Blur in general is a thing I despise.
I hate looking at blurry things.

Only legitimate blur and depth of field is pic related.
Looking through things that actually have a focal range, and outside the scope.

So that's why it looks like shit... I see now.

It's worse than you think.
This isn't just some government BS, it also a fucking w*man who snitched on her neighbor.

PNUT's owner may be a degenerate, but PNUT didn't deserve a Karen snitching on him to big brother, and getting him killed.

A No Nut November indeed.

@LukeAlmighty That doesn't look like a big issue.
It's not the texture that's the problem, since it's an entire object, it's likely a bad LOD setup or setting.
That is how the rock is supposed to be rendered... when it's really far away.
So it's just a simple setting to correct, or maybe the wrong asset was placed, either way it's a minute or two of work at the most.
Definitely the sort of thing you can fix in a Beta before release.
The settings or graphics card don't matter in this case.

@lain Would.
Looks good to me.

@freemo Gays that fuck kids ruined Holywood.
All filthy communists, since the 50's.
Caller was right.

@rasterman This needs to be removed, with nothing to replace it.
It's a way to gatekeep the hobby.
Without objective markers, and yellow paint, normies will leave the hobby in droves.

The AI is just a reflection, in this case of HR, aka evil.

Kill yourself... But vote (for us) first!
Truly despicable.

@lain @kaia They gave her Brie Larson ass! Atrocious.

@lain How do you do, fellow kids?

@LukeAlmighty Forgot the pic.
Literally a checkbox.

@LukeAlmighty These days you can just mark a mesh as a static shadow caster.

I watched the stream, the game slowed down when E;R turned the shadows back on to solve the star puzzle because it was barely visible without them.
The drop in performance is telling.
It takes a special kind of incompetence to make a scene this poorly optimized.
I wouldn't even consider optimization in a small room like that.
Some of the meshes there must be VERY detailed for no reason, and have no LODs.

Also I forgot to mention, the fix for this is trivial, and would've taken 20 minutes at the most, per scene.

Some people still bake shadows, but usually only when they want their stuff to look good while working on a potato or mobile.
Some games bake shadows into textures, which is usually frowned upon, but it can help improve performance a lot, since it can save on use of normal maps.
I think Borderlands 1 did that.

@LukeAlmighty Light baking is often abandoned in large or very detailed environments because it often fails to get a good result, takes a long time to perform, and has to be done every time you move anything in the scene.
Modern lighting techniques and hardware has made it largely obsolete.

For a good example of this, check out Valheim.
Lights aren't baked, they just don't cast shadows unless you get close to them.
And even then, if you stand next to several, only 1 or 2 will cast a shadow, looks good enough, and very performant.

What happened here is actually much worse than not baking lights.

Everything in the scene appears to be a dynamic, as opposed to a static, shadow caster.
They literally just placed a directional light with dynamic shadows on everything and called it a day.

To make the windows appear brighter, they cranked up the value on the directional light.
That's why when E;R turned off shadows, it turned entire scenes into flashbangs.

Indoor scenes like that shouldn't be illuminated with a directional light at all, they just got lazy, and instead of making some effect on the windows (Pic B), they relied on the lighting system to do the work for them (Pic A).

@mangeurdenuage @Shadowman311 I bet @p is on the list.

@LukeAlmighty @MaleGoddess Some of these BUSTED will not age well.

@kaia Why does she look tan, she's supposed to be a brit.
