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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Or they use upscaling as a crutch even harder and we get narratives that include your character having frosted glass for eyes to make up for the blur.
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).
