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!
