Isabela tarot cards: Act 1, Romance, End Act 2-Act 3.

@demonwrestler​ I’ve been thinking so much about this and I was finally able to draw something stupid for it. Of course, I had to put my silly thoughts in Vanus’ mouth

Delicious.

ENB is also VERY resources heavy, it tanked my old gtx 1050ti card into just 30 fps and trust me that old card is more than enough to play Skyrim. Heck my RTX card with ENB and some texture still got it's fps halved. Reshade is always easier on the system

ooh how come on the reshade thing?

For people who don’t know: ENB (supposedly short for “easy now Boris”, as the developer was making unreasonably intensive reshades) is a kind of replacement for Direct X rendering. Basically, it makes your game look nicer.

The creator is a Russian guy named Boris. He’s an absolutely excellent programmer and ENB is a marvel of programming considering it was made by a single guy.

Boris, however, is a bit of a twat, and gets very very upset when anybody else tries to make a similar programme. He also gets upset if people try to make ENB more accessible to everyone - believing that only those with high end hardware should be able to use his programme.

He’s also racist and homophobic. Not out of the ordinary for an average Russian guy. Skyrim is popular in Russia - and Russians are fed a lot of lies. Many Russians don’t know any better, unfortunately - but it’s something that has upset a lot of people. The racism, however, is more difficult to excuse as a cultural difference. He holds the belief that Asian women are superior because of what he perceives as their submissiveness and purity.

He’s also rude but that’s hardly the crime of the century.

Because of his gatekeeping of ENB, and maybe because of his personal views(?), community developers decided to make an alternative called Community Shaders, which is used on top of ReShade. ReShade is the base which forms the alternative to ENB, and has been around for a while - but requires Community Shaders to provide full ENB-like functionality.

This sent Boris into a rage - to the point that he started putting messaged into his code accusing people of copying his work (I doubt he sees the irony of his work copying DirectX). He’s convinced people are copying his work - despite Community Shaders and ReShade being open-sourced, meaning the code is viewable to anybody. In actuality, he’s just upset that he has lost his grip over the community.

If you’re against gatekeeping ENB/community projects, then I’d recommend Community Shaders/ReShade. But don’t feel bad if you still want to use ENB. Using a piece of software doesn’t mean you support the programmer, otherwise we would all be a hivemind of Toddthinkers (I wish).

Community Shaders isn’t a full replacement to ENB yet - it’s still in early development - but is quickly becoming people’s preferred alternative to ENB.

Community Shaders + ReShade has better performance than ENB and works better with night eye/vampire’s sight, which ENB doesn’t.

In order to emulate ENB functionality you need a few things:

SSE ReShade Helper

Community Shaders (the add ons are optional)

ReShade

Vanilla HDR

I also recommend Obsidian Weathers.

You can find reshades on nexus, just search for reshade and ignore the ones for ENB. I recommend Veyrah.
