You can die pretty or win ugly.
When I turn shaders on, my FPS drops from 60 to 20. I want to have my computer run as quickly as possible when I'm playing for a win. I have 2 hand flames, but I /opt particles 0 almost always.
(Also, for some reason, when I cap my resolution at 30 on purpose, my ghost travels slower, so I play on 60, no trails, no fluid blood,etc)
