That pretty much sums up my time in Europe.

I thought this happened to me once, and spent several hours looking around the neighborhood just to discover it was still inside. I would have sworn on my life there was no space left unchecked that could physically fit a cat.

More like “Oh god, what if they reply? I don’t have the time for this.”

It feels weird to even try to be nice about it and bargain.

This is you being nice?

The issues with TAA are so widely known, I’m surprised you can be ignorant of them. People in the know generally acknowledge it, but consider it worth the downsides for efficient AA. 99% of the time the effects are much less severe than what I posted, as I had to put in effort to find a moment to illustrate what was happening to diagnose it, but once you see it you can’t unsee it.

Essentially it’s like if I was talking about screen tearing, and you were arguing that screen tearing didn’t exist because “hundred of millions of people” weren’t experiencing it. Most people don’t even notice the screen tearing until you tell them it’s happening. The TAA blurring is even harder to spot. Also, people ARE experiencing the blurring, which is why enough people talk about it to annoy you. They also have documented evidence of the exact same thing I’m talking about, if you actually cared to look.

To be honest I’m not convinced you’re here in good faith and not to troll me, so I’m going to block you and move on. If you actually are curious, google “what are the issues with TAA” and plenty of people will have clips just like mine taken with capture software with their specs and settings listed.

Aaaand there we go. Subreddit it is.

If you had bothered to actually read my post you would realize that I found the sub after the fact.

FWIW, it’s hard to tell from gifs, but that amount of ghosting and frame-blending is neither TAA nor a normal thing that is happening on everybody’s computers without them noticing.

This is both reproducible and repeatable. I can reliably make it happen in several games, and it goes away completely when I turn off TAA in all cases. It has done this on all 3 of my previous computers, and it happened on two of my friend’s (who insisted it did not) computers when checked. I’m not running any custom post processing. All of our cards were Nvidia, so it’s possibly an Nvidia only thing, but even then the point stands.

I’m much more inclined to believe the effect I’ve done my due diligence to investigate is real, and that it’s simply too mild in most cases for people to notice, than believe some rude stranger with an uninformed “nu uh” and nothing else.

If you put some of that effort you put into sounding right into actually being right, you can find many clips of the same effect on youtube.

If you are suggesting that I got this position from listening to an influencer, I’m afraid not. I earned this opinion through my own efforts.

I had three computers in a row experience horrible shadow blurring and nothing seemed to fix it. I spent maybe 100 hours meticulously troubleshooting what the hell was wrong before asking a computer savvy friend to come over and take a look, and he was just like “Oh, that’s just TAA, everyone’s computer looks like that.” And lo and behold, if you turn anti-aliasing off, it disappears.

A couple of examples I took while troubleshooting: https://imgur.com/a/cqdgIRq https://imgur.com/a/x6mTKx0

It turns out everyone sees the same thing in almost every game, but until you notice it your brain just filters it out. In many modern games they don’t even give you the option to turn it off. I would have started a hate movement myself, but found out a r/fucktaa community already existed. No lemmy equivalent yet, I believe.

The real point where this argument falls apart is that modern AAA games almost exclusively use TAA, which ruins graphics. I’m so sick of shadows blurring and everything looking terrible and people saying it’s next level.

I will say I see a new transgender person at least once a month out in the wild here in Seattle. I can’t speak to their experiences, but they exist at least.

Me and my best friend played halfling twin brawlers one time who would use each other as improvised weapons and crawl in big guys Shadow if the Colossus style. It was the most fun thing ever, but the DM turned out to be the “if someone doesn’t lose a limb during every encounter I have failed” kind of DM so it didn’t last long.

I was really into the concept and my dad was all surprised and excited. We watched a show together and it was boring as hell, I just wanted to see a story about what life is like after the apocalypse and they kept talking about christianity.

Many years later I realized my excitement was basically for the Walking Dead, while his was for Passion of the Christ.

I feel like once an event is terrible enough, it should buy you at least 100 years before people let it happen again.

The “I” in DEI is literally “Inclusion”. Nothing more divisive than inclusion, surely.

With age I’ve really pivoted on when to zipper merge. It used to be”merge early to be polite”, but now I’m firmly in the camp of “If everyone merges at the end, then it is perfectly equitable to everyone.”

It’s the people who merge early who cause the unnecessary disparity. At least, when one lane is ending this is true.

I decided to go with idiot-proof gillette silver blues instead of a more sharp blade like feather because I wanted to shave lazily without worrying about my technique.

I’ll never stop being angry about the enshitification of razors. I tried so many different brands of cartridge razor and they were all terrible. When I tried safety razors, even with improper technique and not having found the right blades yet, I still got a better shave than with any of the cartridge razors. It’s not even close. I bought a nice safety razor and 200 blades which could last me decades for less than one Gilette Fusion with six replacement heads. I tried the fancy creams and boar’s hair brush, but honestly I’m fine with just water.

When I tell this to people in real life they almost always excitedly start in on “Have you heard of Dollar Shave Club?!” as if they aren’t suggesting I spend much more money on an inferior shave. One blade is about $0.05. Even if DSC did offer $1 options they would still be 20x more expensive.

A cheap safety razor with a pack of blades that will last ten years can be as low as $30.

The only problem is you might need to order a blade sampler pack to find ones that work with your skin better. Once you find them, though, just use conditioner as shaving cream and you can be economical forever.

I could get you 10 years of shaving with a safety razor for the price of that bag of cheap 2 blades.

I just use my safety razor in the shower with conditioner. It’s easier than a cartridge razor, shaves much better, and it so much cheaper it’s laughable.

I really love Supraland, but it’s hard to convince people to try it for some reason.

While I disagree with your gender-oriented spin on this completely, and I don’t think it’s nearly as common as the picture you paint (never heard anyone roasted for liking Fight Club), it does occasionally happen.

I watched the first few episodes of MLP: FIM at a friend’s house by happenstance, and within about a week of airing I told a few people “Surprisingly, it’s actually a pretty good show.” Then the controversial fans came out and I completely stopped talking about the show to protect myself. Literal years later I found out my mom had been loudly proclaiming to anyone who would listen, including distant family, that I was a “brony”. It soured a few tenuous relationships with people who didn’t know me well enough to know it was an absurd label.
