Drunkenness Presets
Here’s a quick rundown on the different presets related to drunkenness effects:
- Sober: This is the baseline. Nothing feels different.
- Tipsy: You might feel a slight sway and a warm sensation, but you're still fully in control.
- Buzzed: Things start to feel a little off. You can notice a drift, and the lights might seem to glow.
- Drunk: This is where things get noticeably wild. You could feel the room spinning and might experience double vision.
- Hammered: Everything feels heavy and disorienting. You’ll notice things are really starting to go blurry and your eyelids might feel heavy.
- Blitzed: At this point, it’s pretty much unplayable but in an amusing way.
Each preset adjusts all the twenty settings related to these effects at once. If you tweak any of the sliders afterwards, it changes the preset to Custom.
Symptoms
Here are the symptoms you can expect depending on how "drunk" your preset is.
Vision symptoms:
- Room spinning
- Double vision
- Swimming walls
- Ripple
- Sway
- Queasy zoom
- Motion trails
- Light sensitivity
- Soft focus
- Colour fringing, washout, tunnel vision, and a warm boozy tint
Body symptoms:
- Heartbeat throb
- Heavy blinks
- Eyes moving in an unsteady way (this is called nystagmus)
- Hiccups
Keep in mind that the body symptoms work in real-time. So, if you speed up the animation settings, it won’t affect your heartbeat.
Comfort Mode
Want to keep things more stable? There’s an easy option in the main settings called Comfort Mode. This disables the four camera movement effects: Room Spin, Queasy Zoom, Swimming Walls, and Sway.
The rest of the visual effects like double vision and color fringing will stay active while you enjoy the preset you’ve selected. Just toggle Comfort Mode on before you pick your level of drunkenness to avoid any camera movements.
Extras
- Screen Flip: You can turn the screen upside down, mirrored, or both. Just a heads up, this is really not recommended unless you're a god at the game.
- Photo Negative: This will invert all the colors, which could be interesting or just plain confusing. Again, not recommended unless you're a god.
