SUPERPOST GUIDE

Superposts are just like regular posts, except super. They are longer and can contain embedded media and formatted text.

You must provide a superpost slug. This is the url to get to the post. It needs to be unique across the whole site. It won't have any spaces and will be all lower case. If you need a space, use a dash.

The suerpost headline is the article title. It will be converted to all upper case. It should be short and catchy.

Feature images for superposts are currently added by using the image icon here. Or you can just copy/paste an image.

What is Channel 3? | Log in

Do you adjust the video settings as soon as you start a new game?

Night mode

@roorl • 84d

Instantly adjust the bench mark settings and turn off the fluff to help my computer especially with streaming, and always subtitles get turned on and usually turned to the color purple.

Day mode

@commandernici • 107d

I always adjust the darkness to lighter,, so if the game says "the one on the left should be barely visible or disappear" YEAH not doing that, usually when games go for some darkness stuff I cant see ...more

Night mode

@jpegmario • 123d

sometimes i have to adjust the sound settings because my tv is weird and puts it on this quieter "game mode'

Day mode

@jaimecitoamor • 124d

I assume day mode is I don’t change

Night mode

@rickbosslol22 • 158d

lol

Night mode

@jackalope • 162d

I dont want to have to wear sunglasses inside.

Night mode

@veranza • 171d

Video and sound settings. 100% bright and less than 50% loud...lol

Night mode

@hush • 225d

Yes! Gotta check the screen resolution, put it into borderless window, make sure everything is gravy before i start.

Night mode

@dennis • 238d

If by "adjust the video settings" you mean "move to a spot on the couch where the glare from the window is the least intrusive"...then yes I do.

Night mode

@enderphoenix • 295d

Yup, gotta optimize! Especially since I need to turn off v-sync on most of my PC games since it seems to be on by default for some reason....

Day mode

@destroythegrave • 296d

Yup, every time.

Night mode

@uxorcist • 297d

I usually do, especially if it's a horror game 'cause it's an easy way to avoid starting the terror 😂

Night mode

@damnravi • 303d

I don't ... I have yet to regret it

Day mode

@wiifu • 306d

10000%. Very few games default controls are actually well set up. Usually something needs adjusted

Day mode

@jklein8383 • 308d

I do not

Night mode

@badintel • 316d

Is..... Is night mode adjusting settings? I.... I'm confused. I wanna go home. I need an adult!

Day mode

@justsayingsoican • 392d

You'll need it for Minecraft

Night mode

@nasko0406 • 412d

you have too.

Night mode

@mrhoosier • 419d

Always have to fix it.. Things are just too bright

Day mode

@codydavis • 419d

No. Only if it makes me or the game performs poorly.

Night mode

@seenitcoveredit • 429d

Every. Single. Time.

Night mode

@qmoran87 • 474d

of course

Night mode

@jdaviesiii • 478d

Always gotta go soft on the eyes.

Day mode

@hrlwesty • 478d

This is the best cr3w in-joke I have seen.

Night mode

@mjmanges • 478d

I adjust the settings on everything as soon as I pick it up. Customize everything!

Day mode

@scriptdogplayz • 478d

Night mode

@samiscig • 478d

100% depends on the type of game: for FPS style games, I will adjust the crap out of the settings, whereas narrative and story based games I will leave alone.

Day mode

@curlythemute • 478d

Most games recently have been pretty good about defaulting to what's best. But I still go in to look.

Day mode

@mase • 478d

Day mode

@bucket • 478d

Is this for real with the day mode again 🤣🤣 Also, AUDIO settings, why do they make every game explode at least one ear drum on initial launch??

Day mode

@trashdoc16 • 478d

I don't touch video settings much. I may turn up the brightness a smidge, but that's it.

Day mode

@dan • 478d

I feel like most games flat out force you to do it anyway.

Day mode

@codyb • 478d

Just make it a little brighter for some games.

Night mode

@dadalorian • 478d

Yes once I’ve gotten into the game then I’ll play with FPS and some of the other fine tune settings.

Night mode

@buddhastank • 478d

Yes, minor tweaks.

Night mode

@seth • 478d

Gotta not burn my eyes out and do keybinds~

Night mode

@mcitaly • 478d

Yes absolutely. First I actually adjust audio, I turn music down a little and adjust for my old ears. Then I check graphics settings to make sure fov, fps, and resolution are appropriate, and then tw...more

Night mode

@cknbromein • 453d

Classic troll move but yes I adjust

Night mode

@mrsgargada • 478d

I mess with it with the tutorial and then adjust again if it’s still too much.

Night mode

@dorsalfin • 478d

If the game lets me I mess with audio and video especially the music because some game have that stuff way to loud😂

Day mode

@gongshowdad • 478d

I didn’t know video games has these settings. But I feel with modern games, you absolutely have to tweak video settings. Especially those playing on PC and various graphic cards

Night mode

@madharryrackham • 478d

I'll follow the in game tutorial if there is one, and give a little test run to the default settings, but 99% of the time I go in and tweak at least a couple things to my own weird preferences.
