You can't polish a turd in "Red Dead Redemption 2," but you can totally upscale the textures.

Nexus Mods user garbageman42069 uploaded a mod today titled "Comprehensive Sh-t Upscale."

"Ever ride through Valentine and wish it was MORE IMMERSIVE?" garbageman42069 wrote in big bold letters." I painstakingly upscaled some of the damn textures for the entire RDR2 community."

The page itself is lined with several great advertising images, promising that a "comprehensive overhaul" will make Red Dead Redemption 2's shit "shinier than ever." Even the wolf poop!" He boasts. It's certainly inclusive.

The comments page shows little upset or concern for this corner of the modding community, with Nexus Mods user frague32 writing, "Next time scale up the air." Meanwhile, user SaniRattani writes Hey, can you make a mod to upscale the chunk of meat when you blow an NPC's head off with a shotgun?

I'll leave it to user Spifferino to comment. [garbageman42069's contributions to society don't stop there. His other works include a Red Dead Redemption 2 mod called "2k watermelon," harmless "Upscaled Splashes" and "Upscaled Bullet Holes," a game mooning Skyrim and the upcoming Starfield director and Executive Producer Todd Howard, and a mod that replaces the game's moon with an ominous floating png of Todd Howard.

I'm not going to delve into the fascinating maze that must be in the head of the master garbageman42069. I think these mods are a reminder that no matter how dark things get, there will always be someone who cares, someone who cares about the little things.
