Been playing some Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, kind of left it midway through a while back. Pretty good fun, quite silly.

I found a couple of ways to make it really look great, one is to make the FOV much wider with Flawless Widescreen. By default the camera feels waaay to zoomed in an claustrophobic, really kind of unpleasant actually. The FW app gives you a slider for FOV, and you can use Num - and + to adjust it while playing.

Another tip you can do is use DSR with Nvidia cards (AMD has something equivalent) in the control panel, I set it to 2x native resolution with ~40% smoothness, this allows you to select the resolution in Windows which makes it think your display is double the res. For SoM this is great as the built in antialising is crap, just FXAA. There is an ingame internal resolution slider, but the DSR method seems to work much better and perform better. It will look pretty good like this, but then I add the sharpness filter with Alt+F3, about 35%. This makes the game look just stunning, pin sharp and no aliasing shimmering artifacts. About as good as it can look on my 1080p display, probably similar to running it at a higher resolution actually. When I change my desktop resolution change back and forth between 1080p and 2x I need to set the 144Hz refresh each time, as Win 10 defaults to 60Hz, a bit annoying.

With higher resolutions like 4K this probably isn't really necessary tbf, but I like the flexibility to oversample like a nutter for awesome image clarity, or max out performance for my 144Hz refresh rate.

I do the same trick above with Skyrim SE too, looks fucking perfect.

Makes my soul hurt to see all the options in Control greyed our, I am officially dated

Fuck Ubisoft and their Uplay shite. I need a platform for just one publisher like I need something I don't need.

Fortunately, for me, I have fuck all interest in their titles.

Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny (and some other stuff) on Humble for 4 dollars. Two solid, if very self serious, rpgs there.

Hmm. I do want Tyranny.

Splashed out on peripherals recently. New monitor, keyboard and mouse. They were all on offer bar the keyboard which was a refurb (£55 instead of £110)

Happy with my wee omni-purpose corner now

It's real good, can't really notice any issues with the colour stuff so far, seems legit to me !

Yeah modern TN panels are supposed to be pretty damn good. Have you checked it's running at 144Hz? Just because I think Windows will sometimes default to 60. In the advanced display settings screen in settings it should show you what refresh rate it's set to, and you can open the properties to change it if needed. And I think you might have to enable adaptive sync in the Nvidia control panel to get that working?

It should be immediately noticeable when moving the mouse cursor and scrolling and stuff, but fire up something like Doom or Dirt Rally to really test it out. With adaptive sync you generally want to disable in game vsync, and if the game doesn't have a built in frame limiter then you want to use Rivatuner and just set the framerate limit to 142 to keep it from going over the screen's refresh rate. Oh and enable the new ultra low latency mode in the control panel too. All that will give you a silky smooth tear-free super responsive kickass experience.

Which keyboard is it? Looks the same as mine

Corsair K70

Types like pure sex

Is slay the spire any good?
Squad looks interesting in a pubg kindof way.

lol. I couldn't believe you asked that question.

Damn, Hunk just got STS because I looked in thread first, then as soon as I went elsewhere, notifications popped up and I had Djornson asking too!

Apologies. 

Any other humble folks out there who already have STS?
