God I wish that was me

Okay, so full disclosure on this, um, this is basically just going to be a really pissed off commentary on this idiot, uhhm.. self-proclaimed, ultimate, do-it-yourself, arcade machine guy. Th-This LinusTechTips pile of shit doesn't...like games. He is a fraud, a fake, a phony, an opportunist, he's basically just, you know, an actor, pretending that he cares about this stuff when he doesn't. I-It's all just about money to him. He's a fucking piece of shit. But, uhhhm, I-I-I had to go through this, because... so many people are going to watch this and actually think he knows what he's talking about. It's just infuriating, I mean th-that's the real danger with, uhm, emulation and, you know, uhh, you know, uh game preservation and all of this. Nobody knows what they're talking about. It's just nothing but ignorance. It's nothing but a bunch of retards pretending that they know what they're talking about. It's just so frusturating, and-and y'kn- I'm sure you can hear it in the way I'm speaking. I'm just so sick of these morons misrepresenting things and giving people bad information. So, I'm just going through this, step by step, and point out how full of shit this guy is about virtually everything he says.

>"...we would build the arcade box around. This is LinusTechTips, so we could have easily strapped SLI Titans and an 8K monitor to a piece of plywood and called it a day, but the hardware demands of emulating ancient software are actually very light."

Okay, so this fucking idiot says that the hardware demands for emulating...so-called "ancient hardware" is very light. Yea-Actually, it isn't very light at all. If you want to have a good setup, you basically need a top-of-the-line PC. The thing that's comical is, you actually need a more powerful PC to emulate old games properly than you do to play new games. Tha-it ha-it has higher hardware requirements. Um, especially if you're using an LCD screen, you basically need, uh, you know, a top of the line GPU to even run the thing at 4K so that it'll actually look good with CRT shaders. And if you want to do things like use Grovvy MAME or, uh, Retroarch's uh frame delay, you need to have an incredibly fast CPU to use high frame delay settings to minimize input lag as much as possible. He is completely fucking full of shit. Don't believe ANYONE who says that you don't need a powerful machine to emulate games. If you want to have a pile of shit, you can use a Raspberry Pi. If you want to have a terrible setup, if you want to have an embarrassing setup that I will laugh at and ridicule you for having, then yeah sure, go ahead, build a, uh, toaster and tell me that you have a good arcade cabinet. But, if you want to actually have something respectable- if you want to earn my respect, you are going to have a real PC- a high-end, uh f- you know, uh, CPU, and if you're using a, you know, a an LCD, you're not only going to have a- a high end LCD that has variable refresh, but you're also going to have a high-end GPU capable of pumping out 4K without dropping frames. Fuck you for even daring to say that you don't need a powerful computer to do this, fucking piece of shit.

>"And besides, silly intro bit aside, we wanted the focus of this video to be on showing how you can get a little more mileage on your components that are nearing the end of their useful life."

Okay, this is another real pet peeve of mine...listen to me, you piece of fucking shit. Arcade games are not sloppy seconds. They are not leftovers. They're not shit that you, you know, throw old hardware at. They deserve the very best. These games are better than new games that come out. Don't give me your fucking leftovers. Don't give me your hand-me-down hardware. These games deserve the very best. How fucking dare you take some old piece of shit a-a-and run these beautiful games and tell me that it's good enough. Show some respect you godamn, piece of millenial shit.

>"So it was important to us that every part of our computer was something that would be coming up on replacement age and readily available second-hand. In the end, for a really reasonable price, we were able to put together what would have been a respectable mid-range gaming PC, circa 2011."

Of course, he recommends arcade VGA, even though it's complete useless and is pretty much the last thing you want for, uh y-y-you know one of these setups. Fucking piece of shit.

I thought this board was full of fucking bottoms.
Its refreshing to see topchads even if you are faggots.

>"With just one unusual requirement. We wanted a video card with an S-Video output, because we-"

Fucking stupid piece of shit. S-Video outputs on video cards are capped at 60 hertz. You can't change the refresh rate on them. It's one of the worse things possible for one of these setups. You always want to use analog VGA with a CRT so you can take advantage of Groovy MAME and actually run games at their native refresh rates. If you use S-Video, you're stuck with 640x480 interlaced- 60hz, it's fucking terrible. "Oh-Oh. That's awesome, man. I wanna play all my games interlaced at 640x480." Oh, that's fucking great. A-ag-eh-think about how terrible this is going to be. You're going to be stuck at one resolution, 640x480, and you're gonna have to upscale the games from their native resolutions to 640x480. You're going to have uneven pixels and it's going to look like fucking crap. When anything moves you're going to see aliasing because of the stretching going on to get it to 640x480. What a fucking retard. How dare you- how DARE you say this shit. NEVER use S-Video on one of these setups. Never EVER use S-Video. A-a-at the very least, you're going to want a VGA-to-component transcoder, uhm , you know, like uhh, theeee, ummmm...*tch*..euh...y-y-you know, Audio Authority VGA to component transcoder. And then, that way, you can use the VGA on your card to output to the CRT at the actual resolution and refresh rates. Oh my god, this fucking idiot.s

>"We are totally gonna rock a CRT in our finished build for authenticity. Once all of the hardware was in place, we were ready to setup our front end, the program that wraps everything together in order to use MAME, the go to, but infamously command line only arcade emulator that's been around s-"

Yeah, actually, MAME ISN'T a command line-only emulator, you fucking idiot. It's had a UI for, like, six years now. If you just run MAME without any command line arguments, you will see it's UI. A-And in the past couple of years or so, you- it actually has that official UI that you can use as a launcher. It isn't command line only you fucking idiot. And i-if he just made this video, if he just made this video, why is he pointing to MAME 0.185 when 0.18 uhhhm 7 is already out and it's not going to be that long before 0.188 is out. What a fucking idiot.
