This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I have said for a long time that I both want realistic video distortion in games instead of the usual color aberration and high-res fake pixel effects (like the stuff you see on fpv drone videos and unclassified military footage of a 420x zoom from the stratosphere and so on), and not want it, because it gives me a headache

Personally, I only want the realisitic video distortion effects if I am looking at a video screen in the game. I thought Outlast did pretty good with it for the time. All those camera effects were limited to the screen on your camera or in-world CRT TVs, while what you saw through your eyes was more consistent with reality (not realistic but you hopefully get what I mean here).
