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.

Motion blur is guarenteed to give me motion sickness every time. Sometimes I forget to turn it off on a new game... About 30 minutes in I'll break into cold sweats and feel like I'm going to puke. I fucking hate that it's on by default in so many games.

Motion blur + low FOV is an instant headache.

It really should be a prompt at first start. Like, ask a few questions like:

  • do you experience motion sickness?
  • do you have epilepsy?

The answers to those would automatically disable certain settings and features, or drop you into the settings.

It would be extra nice for a platform like PlayStation or Steam to remember those preferences and the game could read them (and display a message so you know it's doing it).

Depends, my girlfriend has issues playing Minecraft unless motion blur is on. Though I have to say whoever made the shader we're using did a pretty good job implementing a not terrible looking blur imo.
