So with ReShade, you can inject things like ambient occlusion and better lighting effects in real time from what I'm reading.Indeed. A lot of games can be given a facelift with this tool, provided you can access the depth buffer in some way which is how ambient occlusion and screen-space GI effects can be injected. I was able to shove in AO effects to the Barbie game as the buffers can be poked into with some tweaking, but that is unfortunately not the case with Disney's Tangled as I couldn't get any depth buffer-dependent effects to load up.
As for me personally, I'm finally making headway on getting my backlog of old VHS tapes converted to MP4/MKV files. Once I get good transfers of these old tapes, I plan on discarding most of said tapes to free up space and reduce baggage, in case I ever have to move somewhere. Tapes that are far more important to me or have sentimental value I am keeping.
I was also playing through another Chinese bootleg game... Super Contra 8. It's the exact same game as the other Chinese Contra knockoff, Super Contra 7. The only difference is an English title screen. It actually could be a rather decent Contra clone if it weren't for the bad enemy placement and enemy bullets that sometimes spaz out and bounce uncontrollably on screen.
