  • Oh cool, TIL. Can you explain the idea behind it? I am a long time programmer so I have some experience but I’m also a lifetime idiot so take it slow lol

    Also because my original comment could’ve come off a little dickish, let me explain that I have long hated bloom in every game I’ve ever noticed it in. I’m not really sure what bloom even is, but I think I have an idea. In star wars, the glowing effect around the sabers I believe is bloom, and it looks good. Meanwhile, take a look at Ark: survival evolved. The game already looks not terribly great, but with bloom on my system is basically just looks like it’s applying a massively sloppy anti aliasing filter to the entire screen. It goes from looking n64 quality to DOOM at 144p. And it’s not just ark, I’ve gotten into the habit of immediately turning off bloom and chromatic aberration in every game, because it almost universally makes the game look significantly worse. I can’t imagine that’s by design. I am autistic though and I’ve been known to think about things differently than most, do most people like that filter?
