Gamescope is developed by Valve and none of these parameters gives you unfair competitive advantage. I’ve used gamescope for many years and never had an issue.
Gamescope does support Reshade effects, and I would not encourage enabling those.
Thanks. I’ll update the post.
I have edited my original title.
Sorry. Counter strike. I edited my original title.
Thanks for the input. I’ve expanded on this point and tried to explain how it works in my original post.
Without adaptive sync is still better than native resolution without gamescope, so I’m not sure why you’re so dismissive. I’m just trying to share a list of tweaks that made the experience better.
Adaptive sync + downscaled resolution with black bars + -noreflex + sane graphics settings in CS
I think this is incorrect. I suspect it is because I am using a variable refresh rate display (LG 38GN950P). According to arch docs
If your monitor supports it, enable variable refresh rate by passing the --adaptive-sync flag
However, I am forcing gamescope to downscale to play at a lower resolution (without the game looking like a blurry mess)
Different tools for different purposes
Deleted my 10 year account a few months ago. Haven’t looked back. Once in a while my google searches will point me to some reddit thread, and I’ll check it out, but I have logged in for the last time.
Tech is probably the 1%
Like you have a choice in 98% of workplaces.
Correct. But a VPN provider can also build a profile on that metadata, and transparency is often lacking in the VPN business. I live in a country with fairly good privacy laws for now and much prefer my ISP to have my metadata than someone else.
I trust my ISP more than a random VPN provider. I use HTTPS for everything anyways.
This might have been partly true 10 years ago. A large majority of his audience is probably adult now.
