UNDERSTANDING RESHADE

I get a lot of questions about using ReShade, whether it's about errors, installation problems, or just for hints and tips. I put together a comprehensive guide to help you understand ReShade, including a troubleshooting section: www.patreon.com/posts/unders...

For a moment there thought “ooh, is the co-op going to start doing deliveries?”
gogotowngame.com Go-Go Town! 🏗️ Online Co-op out NOW! @gogotowngame.com · 1d
One more sleep until Online Co-op, and we've got a TON more coming in the update! Check it out below ⤵️
Hi all! One more sleep till our next update, and we are excited for all of the new features going in. We have included a LOT of community requested features, so regardless of how you play (solo, online co-op, or local co-op) there's plenty to get excited for: Rotating shops! (with alternate backs) Rotating and moving the train station Moving (and you guessed it—rotating) the entrances to the Sewer, Forest, and Mines 5 new vehicles (the Hooptie, Hackney Motorbike, Good-E-Bike, Floating Broom, and Galaxy Bouncer) 2 new chaotic tools, the Odorizer and the Evictor the Storage Skip, a way to store a TON of items Named save profiles & an easy way to swap between then Fast travel hub to get to far zones Dumpsters that store more trash No restock on the Import catalog Workers will rotate through all the items or food they make instead of focusing on just one (the better for you to eat them all) A bunch of new items from traders—beds, rides, a koi pond, the list goes on! We know you’ve all be waiting for online co-op, and we wanted to make sure it had a really solid testing period so once it is in your hands, you are getting the best experience you can. Consider this our mega update as thanks <3 Prideful Sloth

Dispensing false information in a confident tone, rather than offering no answer when none is readily available, is a major flaw of generative AI, experts say. An audit of the top 10 generative AI models including ChatGPT, Gemini and Meta’s AI by the media literacy non-profit NewsGuard revealed that the non-response rates of chatbots went down from 31% in August 2024 to 0% in August 2025. At the same time, the chatbots’ likelihood of repeating false information almost doubled from 18% to 35%, NewsGuard found. None of the companies responded to NewsGuard’s request for a comment at the time.

WHAT I FIND ---> WHAT I MAKE

ReLight isn't just for dramatic portraits. It also helps bring a scene to life by making the existing lighting ✨shine✨

#Cyberpunk2077 #VirtualPhotography #ReShade #MartysMods
A before screenshot from Cyberpunk 2077 showing two men sat at a food stall, and another man behind the counter. The scene is shown as it would be if you stumbled across it in-game, it isn't well-composed, and the colours are fine but a little flat and dull. An after screenshot of the same scene as in the previous picture. This time it has been properly composed to view the stall and the men straight-on. The colours are richer and more defined, and the lighting is more dynamic, adding to the atmosphere.

This is so depressing. There needs to be constant and organised resistance on campuses to this.

I've said it before and I will say it again many times, people using "AI" to design and deliver 'teaching' to students, to mark their work, and in this case to (!) generate literal voice overs are risking their jobs, and frankly they *should* be at risk if they do this sort of thing:
‘We could have asked ChatGPT’: students fight back over course taught by AI
Staffordshire students say signs material was AI-generated included suspicious file names and rogue voiceover accent

A screenshot from The Last of Us II video game, showing an abandoned truck in a dense forest. The atmosphere is dark and moody, and the only light in the scene is shining dimly on the truck. The truck is white and red, and stands out amidst the thick green foliage and fog.

All I want to know is will we be expected to purchase all the packs again. Because if so, that's going to be a very, very hard sell. The exact same game, but more stable and better graphics, but you have to spend £1k to get it again.

It's Sims Saturday! 💚

Check out the before/after to see the effect that ReGrade+, RTGI, Solaris, Depth of Field, and (of course) ReLight had on this screenshot 👉 imgsli.com/NDI4ODkz

#TS4 #VirtualPhotography #ReShade #MartysMods
A screenshot from The Sims 4 showing a Sim with orange hair standing in a living room space. The camera is angled from above. The atmosphere is cosy, with orange light coming from the left, and a cooler blue light coming from the right. In the foreground, hanging baskets with plants are blurred. In the background there's a cat, just standing around, being a cat.

No no no begs every archivist. You are never going to be able to find anything. Please don’t start using emojis in file names. Who asked for this? What fresh hell is next?

Friendly tip for folks. My discord got hacked yesterday and my computer was acting funky ever since. Turns out it was malware installed through a blender file I bought as part of an asset pack on CG Trader. I didn’t know blender files were being used this way, but I figured I’d spread the word.

The backstreets of Night City never looked so good 📸

#Cyberpunk2077 #VirtualPhotography #ReShade #MartysMods
A 'before' screenshot of a 24 hour laundry in Cyberpunk 2077. The colours are what you would expect to find in game, and the shot hasn't been properly composed. The 'after' shot of the same scene as the previous picture, a 24 hour laundry in Cyberpunk 2077. The shot has been composed properly, focusing directly on the storefront. The colours have been changed using ReGrade+ to be more vibrant and red in tone, with the teal green of the inside of the store poking through a grilled window. Other shaders that have been used are RTGI and ReLight for more realistic and dramatic lighting, and Solaris for bloom, which is especially noticeable around the neon store sign at the top.

I am still working on all my many videos, I promise 😭

There's a new version of ReLight in the works so I'm holding back on that one until it's out so I don't have to completely redo it. And the ReShade & TS4 video will be loooooong so it's taking a while and I have to fit it in around stuff.

This Outer Worlds 2 clip was posted on Reddit with the note: "This tiny moment is my favorite in the entire game, a guard NPC is singing the radio songs to himself."

I worked on that mission so heard that clip 100x and it was never not funny to me. Thanks Andrew Kishino for the great performance!
