    Best Halloween Desktop Visuals

    We are reaching the end of September already, which means that Halloween is now around the corner. This is a quick post I’m making in relation to my previous article about Desktop Visuals for gamers featuring Rainmeter and Wallpaper Engine, two great customization tools anyone can use to create outstanding graphic combinations, either static or animated. If you enjoy decorating your place at this time of the year, how about giving your PC/laptop a proper makeover as well?

I’ve talked about visuals and general graphics in many articles by now, this time I want to create a helpful list with the best ENBs for The Elder Scrolls V, Special Edition included! Needless to say this is for PC players only, since you can’t install this kind of enhancements on console.

    ReShade 3.0 Guide

    Update: ReShade 4 is out. I haven’t tested it yet, but I will surely create a new guide if they changed or added anything. ReShade 3.0 is the new updated version of its predecessor, which works basically like the old build but requires a different installation and activation. This guide will not get into the effects and what they do, you can read a basic overview about that in my previous ReShade post here.

    In a previous article I explained what ReShade does and how to activate it. Now, since I’ve got a few questions and appreciations regarding the custom presets I use in all my screenshots, I’m offering you a detailed tutorial about this feature and its main functions. If your machine can support it, you can use a specific configuration for some graphics enhancement and even go beyond the already outstanding vanilla effects.

    Nvidia Ansel: First impressions

    Nvidia Ansel is now available with the latest driver update, thus I want to write down my first impressions about its features and available effects. If you own a Playstation 4 you certainly know about the Photomode plugin implemented in some installments (Infamous Second Son, Mad Max, The Last Of Us Remastered, etc). On PC, as mentioned a few times in my previous articles, we can only get unofficial tools to play around with camera, field of view and additional visual effects, in order to get professional screenshots similar to the ones released by video game companies to promote their new product.

    Video Game Visual Effects

    I previously talked about PC game mods explaining how they allow you to modify your characters and/or environments adding new details or swapping the original files. In this article I would like to explain what else we PC gamers can do to get an advanced post-processing result in our favorite games, because I myself discovered this incredible feature a few months ago and I literally can’t play without it now. I am talking about video game Visual Effects aka ReShade Graphics and the way it might affect our gaming experience.
