What do "Blobby Shadows" mean?

They are in the Black Mesa options tab. What’s the difference between having this option enabled and disabled :?:

Thank you in advance.

I was wondering this too.

I believe that blobby shadows makes it so that instead of generating a dynamic shadow under characters, Source instead just uses a blurred circle - much simpler to render. It’s for weaker cards.

Oooooh.

I wonder, do we have a generic tutorial somewhere that has additional info on the settings?

Or perhaps just add tooltips to each setting? Assuming that is possible.

That was my immediate thought.
