Should I play Nier on easy or hard?

I pulled the number out of my ass. I had no idea I hit it perfectly.

@alyx
Yeah, and I think this just made my hate of day-night cycle 10 times worse.

@alyx
Yeah, decreasing the gamma seems to help a lot.

While 95 percent of games do benefit from the max brightness, this one got hit hard. (also, older monitors didn't have this problem when I think about it, since they were dark as hell)

@alyx
So, if I put gamma unusually low, it should get better...

🤔

@PhenomX6 @alyx
Also, I don't get it, but even on full resolution, the aliasing is seriously bad.

@alyx @LukeAlmighty older games used different tricks for visual effects that weren't eyerape or had good art direction instead. They were trying to be eye candy instead.

@alyx
Also, deep rock does have pure whites as well as requiring you to be pixel-finding in the dark. So, there's that.

@LukeAlmighty
A lot of games have too much screen clutter. I wouldn't be surprised if the excessive use of visual effects fatigues the eyes faster than a game from late 90s, early 2000. Whenever I play something modern, I can't help but scream internally at the fact that devs didn't need to make pickups shine/glow for you to be able to see them in the environment.

Not sure if games are made worse, or if I am just dumb and I have missed some setting, but some of the new games are giving me eye-strain.

(I just played one mission of deep rock galactic, and I feel like I have been playing for days.)

@diresock
Also, that is second time I got called out for being a normie this month...

Ok, I will watch it.
