What is something you dislike but still begrudgingly use? - eviltoast

This question was inspired by my hatred of Temporal Anti-Aliasing which, in many games nowadays, is poorly used as a performance bandaid. On lower resolutions it will smudge and blur the image and certain bad cases of TAA will cause visible ghosting.

Yet in spite of all this, certain games won’t let you turn it off or have hair/fur/foliage look like dogshit without it so sometimes I still use it.

    I’m not dismissing whether they ever happened. I’m questioning whether they still happen. I’m not going to hold a grudge against someone who stole an eraser from me in the 1st grade. I’m similarly not going to hold a grudge with Microsoft for one or two forced updates back when Windows 10 launched. If you wanted to talk about the issues with Windows Modern Standby or with Xbox’s treatment of the Minecraft community, then fine. Those issues still don’t ruin the other 90% of Windows, especially when considering the alternatives.

          Yeah. And I answered them before you wrote them. You know damn well Microsoft constantly includes infuriating bullshit - whether or not it’s the example I gave, dismissing your ridiculous hair-splitting. An example we have not established is even wrong. I just don’t fucking care whether it’s still a thing, because regardless, it’s part of a pattern.

          The root of this pointless bickering is that someone said there’s parts of Windows they fucking despise, and you countered by saying Windows has many parts. Which is not a fucking counter.
