I thought I clicked on The Eternal Thread by mistake. Time to post my stupid thought of the day.
Sometimes I’ll watch a livestream and the video/gameplay graphics will get really bad. “Playing Team Fortress 2 with a dying videocard” kind of bad. I always blamed it on the livestreamer and their terrible computer. But I hit refresh on the youtube video and the livestream looks good again.
So the graphics problem was probably on my end all along.
