# disgusting halo mmc bloom made me mentally uninstall garmes tried for two days to strip all disgusting post processing effects from halo master chief collection so utterly obnoxious an effect was it one could literally not see on-screen enemies against the background after searching the web i quickly found some software called reshade - which with custom shaders made by garmers one might finally overcome the particular corporate incompetence which thought bloom depth of field motion blur and other smeary on-sreen bs was remotely a good idea two days later after considerable effort trying to get this darn program working in-garme i suddenly and very rationally deleted my entire steam folder in disgust shout in in particular to 'steamtinkerlaunch' with what could be the most convoluted instructions and violetly unintuitive user interface this side of the galaxy so angered was i at not being able to play teh garme i'd brought in a reasonable manner - that is to actually see what's happening on-screen - that part of me (once again) suddenly realized / remembered the extreme and utter existential pointlessness of garming per-se and also just to what extent 'halo' doesn't have anything to say about anything (other than just how many billions of people-hours were lost to playing multiplayer while shouting racial epithets on xpoxlive lobbies back in teh day) in fact i'd go as far to suggest the exact same level and kind of cosmic scale stupidity which told someone to add all those awful post-processing effects to halo was exactly the same kind of dull automatic dumbness in a) master chief's metal skull and b) in the mere notion of 'playing halo' // republic of bob
