Games peaked in 2001, graphics peaked in 2014

Is this guy ********?

The BEST benefit of the doubt I can give him is that maybe he's autistic and the only people he looks closely at are actors in movies under heavy lighting and twenty pounds of makeup.

I didn't actually watch it so I assume he's autistically fixated on one specific thing like how the light shines on the skin in a way 1% different than reality while ignoring how **** the right face looks so he can show off his obscure tidbit of knowledge. "Umm ackshully": the video.

It's a good video. Admittedly that particular illustration did not help his case but the overall case and the detailed information sounded correct to me and aligns with my own observations.

TLDR: Unreal Engine uses the wrong math to compute light.

This is fundamentally it, and why Reshade can do magic to visuals without sacrificing performance.

The simple explanation is this: your brain automatically recognises what is real, and you cannot trick it. Any attempts will be immediately obvious to your unconscious mind.

This may explain why eye strain and headaches are reported on newer games too...
