I made an account to say that was adorable you guys. Psychology in a pitre dish right here. I went on a roller coaster ride through these comments and even the comedic ending was perfect. Or maybe I'm too high. Regardless, I too use the same preset on many of my games because I only use curves and lumasharpen just a little bit. I agree that specific customization for each game might be more creative, but using the same preset has worked for me and has made this shader injector absolutely necessary for every game I play. You make the fog go away. MTP, you could work to produce some great universal presets. Try considering different moods and themes when you're making them and you might even find you will learn more by venturing out of your safe zone. OWN that UNIVERSAL PRESET category. Be the UNIVERSAL PRESET KING. Just try to make sure they're different enough from each other that you're not reposting the same preset. If a preset works great for multiple games with little to no changes you can include that in the description. If you find the universal preset looks good on different games but require just a little tweaking, maybe include the changes in the description as optional customizations.

I just assume sometimes everyone in this community is aware of how things work, which is my bad, I shouldn't come down hard on new folks, my apologies, if you use Steam, add me mate, OmnipotusX

Thanks man. I will follow TheLazy.net preset etiquette in the future. I am always happy to be in touch with some more experienced than myself.

I apologize if I'm coming off like a savage, it's not my intent, perhaps you were unaware of TheLazy.net preset etiquette, for the most part, people just post a couple a day (I used to post 15 a day myself, all unique tho but still, kinda silly thing to do) also, from experience, youtube isn't an ideal method to show examples of your presets vs vanilla, screenshots arn't perfect but they are much better then bad compressed YouTube videos, people appreciate some screenies with comparisons, this site has a slider tool for just that purpose.

Once again, I'm not trying to attack you on here, I just woke up, I click ont he site to see it being "flooded", I check into it and it's all the same stuff, just rubbed me the wrong way, my soul intentions is for this community to grow and continue to be awesome, I'm not trying to run people off, just my awkward social skills and trying to steer folks in the right direction :D

Man I really admire your effort creating and spreading presets. I checked many of yours and they are really good. Yes some of my presets used similar settings but thats the way a like the certain games graphics. I dont want to offend anyone, so if you think that my presets are against some rules, delete them, or even delete the entire account if it is necessary. Thanks for your attention.

Some? ... how about 21 of the 30 you uploaded, they are 100% identical,

1.15 HDR, 1.55 Luma, 30 Bloom, vibrance 40....

Being someone with 4+ years experience with Sfx and over 800 unique presets, I can tell you one thing, 1 preset DOES not "rule them all" every game is different mate. I'm not trying to offend you or be a dick but I cannot help but feel like this is some sort of slap in the face to all the folks who take the time/effort to bring unique style/look to a game for others to enjoy, anyone can do what you just did, plaster the same 1 preset over 100 games.. if that's how you like to game, great, no harm in that but flooding this site with 99.5% identical presets.. couldn't you have just posted 1 preset in a new "game" like (UNIVERSAL PRESET) and drop it there for anyone to see/download instead of over 30 games? wouldn't that make more sense?

Indeed some settings are repeating but some presets are good for more than one game.

Listen mate... this is getting ridiculous ... please ACTUALLY MAKE an effort with your presets.. I'm contemplating deleting everything, you only need 1 or 2 presets since that's effectly all you did, 2 presets over 26 games so far...
