Whoops! The TOGETHER Trial actually showed that ivermectin worked.

“Even the author admitted it. The media and medical establishment did not read the study carefully. They seize on anything that supports the narrative and fail to look at the study critically.”

@deprecated_ii @Umlaut There was a great video on Telegram I saw of an old man being forced by the town he lived in to turn on his utilities. He had a system down pat and wasn't really bothering anyone and he owned the house he lived in. He just didn't like electricity and had his own septic treatment.

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.
