I either turn everything all the way up or off with GLBoom+. I like the vanilla chunky aesthetic but I also like the pastel painting look.

The author of GZDoom likes it, that's why it's default.

It looks intended for some engines like maybe Half Life 1 and Unreal, but Doom definitely looks best with its crisp square pixels

Only in D64 where it was designed to be filtered.

People using modern graphics in Doom need to be slapped around.

yes, it's not the anisotropic filtering that you don't like, that only makes things sharper in the distance. it's the texture filtering you don't like.

I almost never notice anisotropic filtering or the lack thereof, but I just enable it.
I've read the theory behind it, I kinda understand it, but when I enable it in games I see not much difference. But it's good to be there if it's costless.
Also,. in GZDoom, I keep the billinear filtering (and trillinear) on, which makes some people argue "Are you crazy? This is not supposed how Doom was looking" but I don't care either. I used to dislike it for Doom, but now I am used to it (and then again I am not a "omg graphics" guy, if a port has only nearest pixel or lowres and 35fps, I can still play). It's more of an obsession of putting setting to full in games.

hot take - quake 2 looks better in software mode.
Fight me.

@tc you're good optimus if you go to say, doom 2 map 1 and go to one of the two hallways, try messing around with the anisotropic levels and you can see the misalignments on the ceiling and floor get some antialiasing and smooth out, at the center of your screen dn so many ppl are used to gl mode for quake 2, but i agree i prefer it in software mode. it's one of the few games i don't really mind about the blurry trifiltered textures though. half-life 1 SP i also prefer software mode with nearest mipmap and 16x aniso |

hot take - quake 2 looks better in software mode. Fight me. There's nothing easier than fighting you. Q2 only looks better in software mode if you are comparing it against the default OGL settings which are horrible and don't even work right with many cards. A well-configured OGL mode, OTOH, will look a lot better than software mode because of things like the higher color depth and the many adjustable details that you simply don't have in software mode. |

Pleb-tier opinion. Software mode imparts a specific aesthetic, which is a cubist nightmare dystopia. You need the square edges, the grit of the low-rez, the jank distance resolution, and the trash colour scheme for cubism to be effective. And, since everything in quake is made from 15 polygons, cubism + brutalism is the only way forward.  |

I think texture filtering looks like shit. I like the subtle graphical enhancements that Crispy Doom offers more than anything.
