Jaggies. We all hate the jaggies, don't we? Those awful zig-zag lines that utterly destroy immersion. Obviously, the solution is and has been for years to switch on anti-aliasing but, with games becoming more and more demanding and the economy being in the dump, it's hard to keep up without taking out a second mortgage, and cranking the AA up does tend to hurt performance if your 'puter is a bit behind the times, so here's the (tongue-in-cheek) solution:

You know those non-prescription, cheap reading glasses you can buy everywhere nowadays? Get a pair that are just a bit out of focus for your eyes, put 'em on, crank up your game and, voila!, max AA without a performance hit! :03:

Yes. I realized that I could have gotten the same effects for a few bucks at the grocery store! Just kidding, of course. My trouble turned out to be, as usual, me not thinking the problem through enough. But this community set me straight. Also as usual :salute:

I wouldn't know what to do without my SubSim family.

:haha:Honestly, this is little bit crazy mate. You should get that cpu asap:salute:Then you'd turn FSAA to the max and sell the glasses:rotfl2:Don't take it in a bad way, I'm just teasing...
