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.
i live in a really great location for getting onto a bunch of different highways. because of this, ubers circle the area because they are closer to more things. it shows you the ubers in the area, and I will see like 8 or 9 going in circles, waiting. so i select the “wait and save” option on the app, because it’s 3 dollars less and figure the wait won’t be long because demand is low and there are plenty of drivers. nope. it literally just enabled a timer that didn’t put my order through until it was over. it wasn’t giving me a deal for being flexible with my pickup time, it was CHARGING ME 3$ just to have the privilege of them not withholding my service order arbitrarily.
fuck uber man that made me so mad
