It's fascinating to me that you can see it that way. Someone should dissect our brains and do a study.

No need to dissect our brains. There's probably something wrong with your eyes if you think HD textures, ENB or SweetFX look anything like the cat picture on a game like Skyrim. Like all things, people overreact just to prove an unexisting point.

At least this one image is based on facts (emulator smudge filters):

How nice! Now you can just follow the trail instead of getting lost in the forest! :D

Especially since the whole point is that you can mess around with the settings until you find something that suits you. Some people overdo it, so what?

More like over 95% of people. The meme exists for a reason.

Yeah, because retards like yourself think their (retarded) opinions are fact. And said retards also happen to be in the vast minority. And resort to false arguments at that.

What would really help your argument is if you posted pictures that accurately represent that which the cat images displays, which I think would be a somewhat impossible task since it represent texture packs as tiling in 2D over what should be a tridimensional cat.

It's not like I can point to any surveys on this. ReShade/SweetFX just offers way too many options for the average user to handle. If used well it can enhance the graphics of some games. I've used it too (and have been guilty of overusing it in the past), with VtMB for example. But just take a look at the presets people have uploaded for that game, and prepare to vomit. They are all way too dark and bloomy, or use dumb gimmicks, or change the look of the game completely.

Also, have you tried Thief Gold with HD textures?

Spoiler

Whatever suits you.

because retards like yourself

ok

IMO ReShade is simply bad. Unlike ENBs, ReShade tends to make very little difference when installed. Force it to be more noticeable, and you get crap like that you linked to. I'm not saying you can't use it to make a game look better, but it will only be slightly better.

Thief Gold's HD texture pack is simply awful by any metric of the imagination. I'm guessing people only use it since they dislike the vanilla blurry textures a lot. While Morrowind had its fair share of ugly texture packs, it has come a long way. Not that I use any, though: unless a texture pack covers the entirety of the game, I'd prefer not to use any except on specific instances (e.g. make sign posts readable). But to imply texture packs as a whole resemble that Thief monstrosity is preposterous.

Fear 1 for HoMM 2.
Looks like things will get epic in this map:

So how over the top was this map?

Spoiler

My invincible hero:

Pirates attack:

Oh dear, that's one bad mofo:

And to really rub it in:

A Pyrrhic victory:

But then John Silver turns up:

Pretty ridicilous.
No Ghosts in this map. I could have created an army of skeletons at one point, but even thousands of skellies are too weak for against such opposition.
And there's no way I'm going to hit the End Turn button a thousand times to build a matching army.

And this map was made by a girl!

Turns out this girl - Daniela Stieh - also made The Lord of War, the (in)famous HoMM 3 map, which is next on my play list.

The odds looks a bit better in The Lord of War:

Or maybe not...

Attack and Defense up 60 points for a Hero in just one week?

Yeah, sounds totally fair.

[Unkillable Cat]

Wow, that mug shot is proportionally off the charts.

There weren't all that many interactions IIRC between dark and light mode in Dark Earth, but I loved the feature. French games seemed to have a fondness for letting you choose to be a wife-beater. LBA even let you get away with it.
