[Andalusian girls]

I listen to the new music Playlist on Spotify every Friday, I actively refuse to get trapped in the past musically. People are still making fantastic stuff every day.

Idk man, my memories never match what I'm looking at when I replay old video games. They look so much worse, for many reasons, but nothing beats nostalgia.

play old games on an old crtv, its actually insane how much better it looks. the games we grew up with simply aren't meant for modern screens and look terrible on them. nostalgia is at play obvi but ur making them look far worse than they actually did to young you

[Roranora]

additionally, stay in shape moving CRTs around

[Salodin]

I see them on sale occasionally at antique shops but I never pull the trigger cause it's some lame ass 13' mickey mouse tv with broken VHS player

Now if the VHS was working...

Shaders in retroarch are REALLY good these days at emulating CRTs.

These are nearly 3 year old screenshots from my emulator computer and the shader set I'm using (koko-aio) has just gotten better since

Right? Why would people purposely say they don’t want to experience new things and prefer the past. Sounding like MAGAts and conservatives. There’s so much of life to experience in new and different ways especially when you have adult money.

These kids nowadays will never understand the struggle of lifting a big ass CRT up four flights of stairs because the elevator is broken.

Cramming into a Trans Am: 3 people with PCs and 17 inch CRTs for a LAN party. Passengers both get to hold a CRT in their laps lol.

got rid of my old crt when i moved into new place 10 yrs ago because i didnt realize at the time how good it woulda been for old games and was temporarily homeless

just found out yesterday that AG has 1-2 of them though

[Roranora]

it was about 9 years ago i decided to check out a medical supply warehouse and offer cash for retired medical monitors, and it was about 8 years ago i drove 1000 miles and back to buy a few legacy broadcast monitors. and yet, don’t buy all the pvm hype; select consumer sets feel really nice or better even — the 27” size is simply the best

let’s just say i can get anyone on BG sorted out if they really need. pounce on a JVC D-Series at an estate sale if you see one

[Cantih]

I still have my tube TVs

Spoiler: show

Actually trying to sell them for something worthwhile is the pain.

I'm still in shock at how I was able to beat some of the old school games as a kid. Ninja Gaiden is some bullshit back then and now.

I’m kind of the opposite in that I don’t understand how younger gamers are absolute shit at some of the most basic games I used to crush as a kid. I’m talking bad like, dying to the first Goomba in SMB 1-1 type bad.

I really want to know if little salodin could have 100% armored core 6

Not to say I was a better gamer when I was a kid cause I definitely triggered the special text in Lost Vikings 1 from Thor where he was calling me shit for being so damn terrible. Fuck the candy world.
