This question was inspired by my hatred of Temporal Anti-Aliasing which, in many games nowadays, is poorly used as a performance bandaid. On lower resolutions it will smudge and blur the image and certain bad cases of TAA will cause visible ghosting.

Yet in spite of all this, certain games won’t let you turn it off or have hair/fur/foliage look like dogshit without it so sometimes I still use it.

    Illustrator. It’s industry standard for graphic design, but has the stability of a toddler on ice

      I’ve built plugins for Illustrator and other adobe projects and their internal API is trash.

      This is the company that re-deployed their entire history of support forums accumulated over decades, into a new forum software, without realizing they were breaking twenty years’ worth of links.

      Those forum posts, which took the place of their nonexistent documentation, were the community’s collective work product and the company just said “fuck it” and broke every link and bookmark anyone ever had to any obscure topic about adobe tech.

        Fucking… Wow. I personally never had any luck on their shite forums, but that’s terrible.

        I wish Astute Graphics would just make their own vector design program, their plugins are what make illustrator tolerable
