Things Zoomers Hate
>where's the xbox
>where's the fortnite
>where's the cod
i'm nearing 30 and think CRTs are pieces of shit that i would never let into my home again
>nearing 30
Let me know when you're in your 30s champ.
t. falseflagger
i don't remember crts making noise
It's called "flyback noise". It's caused by (the power supply?) vibrating over the years until something shakes loose & produces a sound that zoomers hate. When you get older you can't hear the frequency anymore. Basically only TVs that were used a TON ever got to the point where flyback noise was a thing. IT's a sign the CRT is getting older.
i have nothing to falseflag about, i grew up with CRTs and would never even consider buying another one
They hate physical media for some reason. I don't understand it.
earning my wizardhood this fall. i'm kinda scared, lads
So if I'm post 30 I'm a wizard? Neat.
Zoomers dont like any videogame their favorite streamer has a bad opinion about.
So if a Zoomer's favorite streamer trashed Fortnite, would they betray their generation?
why?
Why is there an empty nendo stand?
only if you're still a virgin
>All it would take for good old games to become popular again is for someone from Yea Forums to actually become popular and stream old games
>This has never happened
>Gem greps is the closest we've come to this
Pick up the fucking ball Yea Forums. We need to put those kids in their place & tell them how shit their taste in games is.
To be a boomer you must have been part of these console generations:
Atari/NES - Around the time of your birth and early childhood.
Arcade/SNES/Genesis - At least be in elementary school.
Saturn/PS1/N64 - Middle school or early high school.
Dreamcast/PS2/GCN/Xbox - Finishing high school or entering college/work.
360/PS3/Wii - In college or working.
PS4/XBONE/Wii U - Getting married/buying your own house.
Switch - First child or getting divorced.
So basically, you had to have been born in the early 80s.
welcome to to the wizardry world of hairy pauper.
CRTs are both poisonous, and an electrical hazard.
Oh yeah, and really bad for your eyeballs too.
>CRTs are both poisonous
In what way are they poisonous?
>an electrical hazard.
appose to other shit you plug into a wall?
>it's TEACHING ME HOW TO PLAY?!!!? UUUUUUUGH JUST MAKE IT MORE I N T U I T I V E
Which one are you?
Older games tended to throw you right in & put the instructions in, get this...THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL. I know right?
>nearing
It's not that important. It's another day in your life, stop treating it like some kind of special milestone.
I have 6 CRTs. 2x PVM, 2x VGA, 2x consumer. I dont even play vr too much anymore.
That's fine. I'm talking about the retards who want every game to have the same controls and mechanics.
Tbh I never used them back then, sometimes I brought them over to my grandma house when I couldnt play kek reading them and apreciating the screenshot and artwork was nice
1994
>want every game to have the same controls
How do you have different genres of games if they all control the same?
I've only jacked to 2d
>implying kids actually care about CRTs
they probably don't even see them in person, they don't hate them let alone think about them.
Millennial actually. Unless you mean meme Boomer.
That's... That's my point.
Screen's too small. My old man eyes can't handle it.
I turned 30 on July 1st. CRTs are shit. The only people who still use them unironically are the embarrassing fat retards of my generation.
Why do you keep making this thread? No one on the planet has CRT autism but you. You're THAT much of a fuckin dork.
It's a trick question. Anyone born in the 80s was taught as a kid never to give out their personal info online. It was drilled into us CONSTANTLY that everone in chat rooms was a pedophile trying to tape our boyholes if we told them personal info.
>he hasn't experienced reading a manual while pooping
>In what way are they poisonous
Made out of lead
this thread is full of delusional/jaded boomers. I fucking hate this place
this bait image moves the minimum boomer age down every time. zoomers are 95 and up. fact
>CRTs are made out of lead
What do you think a CRT is? How do you think they're made?
Lately I jump from AC7 fight stick HOTAS to DMC5 ds4 controller how would you make these games play similar genius?
CRT can literally explode in your face if you forgot to discharge the current when fixing it
Well if that was the case, then OP's image would be false, since I was born in the late 90s an I grew up with CRTs and think they're comfy as fuck.
Maybe you'd feel more comfortable here you goofy fat faggot. They love inferior, obsolete junk.
Im pretty sure it hasnt moved from 99 tho
Of course meme boomer.
Only normalfags use boomer for old people.
So? What's wrong with that?
If you think there's anything wrong with recognizing that the past was objectively better than today, then you are a Zoomer moron.
Happy belated Birthday user.
So can a lot of power supply units in things... thats why you don't service or repair things without finding out what the fuck you are doing first
I want to be a Zoomer. Imagine being a 40+ Year old wasting the remaining time you have left on some bootleg knitting forum made for weebs.
>Tfw zoomer that grew up with handmedown vidya from older siblings and cousins
>Became Idort through the start of easy emulation, garage sales and dying blockbusters
>Still old have CRT from Grandma (bless her soul), use it with older consoles I still own
>Family got wealthier along the way and I got to get newer vidya by the Mid PS3 era
>Dab on all the shitters regardless of age without meme bullshit
Imagine being a 18+ Year old wasting the best years of your life on some bootleg knitting forum made for weebs.
>It's too heavy
>I don't have room for that
>None of my games work on it
>It's makes games look blurry
>The noise it makes hurts my ears
>They're too expensive
All true.
>You can't even notice the lag on modern TVs
No one with a brain uses a modern TV for games when you can get 1ms delay monitors at 144 or 240 hz.
>I read an article from 20 years ago saying they give you cancer!
Probably do. They do give you the ability to shitpost about how CRTs aren't complete trash and you're totally not a zoomer pretending to have had one when you were little.
I'm 28 and played on CRT's up until my late teens. They are the most overrated hipster shit and I have no desire to recreate the experience of playing on one.
>It's makes games look blurry
This is a valid complaint. Blurring the shit out of a game because ITS HOW THE DEVELOPERS INTENDED doesn't make it look better. Only in rare cases does not playing on a CRT ruin certain things like the waterfall effect in Sonic.
>You can't even notice the lag on modern TVs
Also a valid complaint. I have a 144hz monitor with under 1 ms of input lag. TVs are reaching a similar point as well where any further reduction is input lag is completely imperceptible to humans..
Posting points in greentext doesn't make automatically make them wrong. The only people who advocate so much for CRTs are turbo wannabe boomer hipsters such as yourself who want to feel superior because they think they are playing AS THE DEVELOPER INTENDED.
240p/480i games look bad in high resolutions. You aren't meant to see the individual pixels of games from that era.
Stop perpetrating this dumb meme.
No u.
>It's a trick question. Anyone born in the 80s was taught as a kid never to give out their personal info online. It was drilled into us CONSTANTLY that everone in chat rooms was a pedophile trying to tape our boyholes if we told them personal info.
Not him but guess DSP never paid attention then with all the bullshit he constantly lets out.
Not sure about that, but I can tell you all CRTs make a whine by design. Normal CRTs made a 15khz noise, which is the EEEEEEEEEE that all of them make, not just ones with knocked-off parts or whatever the fuck. And also CRT PC monitors made a noise too, but it was at 31khz and outside the range of human hearing.
All TVs made that whine. Back in the day it was how I new it was going to be a movie day in class before even walking into the room, because I could hear the 15khz sound from the hallway
So are bullets, what's your point? Don't tell me you're licking the back of the exposed cathode ray tube, you absolute mongoloid.
I was born in 91 and this was the case for me as well, although perhaps I was just the last of a generation, because most people I knew started off this way as kids, but then in middle/highschool everyone started adopting myspace/faceberg and throwing all that privacy concern out the window. I was basically the only one to say "uh, maybe I don't want to give all my info out to everyone"
Not him but 30 is a milestone of having one foot in the grave. Im there now and it sucks. My youth is gone and its only downhill from here. Someday ill be that creepy 40 year old man on the internet I was warned about in the 90s. I hope im dead before that happens
>the noise it makes hurts my ears
this never bothered me as a kid but now I find it extremely obvious and irritating whenever I use a CRT
Since when the fuck is gen z in the 2000's? It started in the late 90's.
you have the power to change things, user
But I was born in the late 90s, and I grew up with CRTs and think they're comfy as fuck.
Also, it makes sense for the threshold to be at the turn of the millennium.
What kind of idiot thinks "hmmm, let's put it FIVE YEARS before the new millennium"?
You get used to it, just like how you were used to it as a kid. Like any white noise, your brain just tunes it out after a while.
Eh, it ain't so bad. when your looking at forty that when the real worries begin
What year ? I'm 1997 and I don't even remember 9/11 and had my first smart phone at 12.
Fuck out of here
This shit, they are heavy unruly pieces of shit, half the ones I used to own always shut back off when you turned the power on or had the colors start to fade on them, they often only ever had ports for one console as well. Moving them around is a pain due to the awkward shape and also because larger ones are on the heavier side and all the weight is centered around the fucking screen, plus im so shit at a lot of games that I wont make good use of the improved input time I do have
How do you not remember when you were 4?
CRTs are so much better than LCD.
I've always thought of 2000 as the cut off for millennials, it's right in the name
forced meme cock sucker
I just noticed in the last month or so that I can't hear the CRT-whine anymore. Pretty weird man, I'm growing some gray hairs now too.
My CRT exploded this monday
More specifically, a capacitor inside it
>Generation started in 1996.
>b-but I can't be a zoomer because muh feels
Literally the most zoomer opinion to have, kill yourself.
I was born in the wrong generation.
>cant hear 15KHz
shit
Those scanlines look like ass though
or you will be a 45 year old shorty that loses his shit in a bagel shop
>I'm 1997 and I don't even remember 9/11
I was born in 1996 and I still can clearly remember watching the TV with my family as the second plane hit. It helps to not be a memorylet.
>identifying with and arguing about which meme you belong to
Imagine going back 100 years and trying to explain this concept to someone. The closest you could come up with is political ideologies but that's not even really comparable.
I played plenty of PS1 on old ass CRTs as a kid in the 90s and I simply don't give enough of a fuck to do it again.
100 years ago, Woodrow Wilson was president, and they didn't have TV.
Times change, for better or for worse.
>they are heavy unruly pieces of shit
>not having a modest-sized CRT
>not being able to lift 40 lbs
Twinks, I swear.
GET YOURSELF A WAND AND A WIZARD HAT POST HASTE
The whole incident was the gift that kept on giving
>Morgan described women as being 'gold digging liars' before proclaiming he was the 'modern Martin Luther King' of short people
I do consume coconut water, but I fit within the year range of boomer.
Not him but...
Dot Trio Shadow Mask is God-tier but sadly not too many out there with a very low dot pitch(which is why your pick seems much softer) and they're darker on general due to how they display shit.
God, I can't wait until 8K Micro-LED display with insane brightness(>10000 nits)
Shit will be cash with CRT Shaders and Blur Reduction.
CRT's aren't being made anymore and who knows how long the supply we currently have will last but I'm happy that the new display technologies coming out are looking promising and that we'll be able to emulate the CRT experience for old games properly.
>playing PS2 games on a tiny CRT with the colors fading
>barely able to see what the fuck is going on cause I'm 5 feet from it
It was the best, I just can't play PS2 games on a big TV or a flatscreen now.
nice pedestrian slot mask
I was 3, how the fuck am I gonna remember shit when I'm three? I'm still gen z. Fuck your 2000 mark off shit.
>Woodrow Wilson was president
God, fuck this guy.
He literally sold the United States to the Jews.
He also played Birth of a Nation in the White House.
Seems like you might find him a little "based and redpilled", no?
In 5 to 10 years hopefully...you will be able to.
Whenever 8K MicroLED monitors come out. You'll be able to simulate a 640x480 CRT perfectly(whether 480i or 480p) and you'll even be able to simulate the shitty composite look if you're nostalgic for it via CRT Shaders. Not to mention blur reduction that imitates the flicker of a CRT which makes the motion look smooth.
I can't wait for MicroLED...it's been so long with these shitty LCD screens.
Ohhhh, you were born in the last quarter of 1997. Gotcha.
shut up you goddamn boomer
No. Him giving the Feds that much power can never be forgotten.
Not to mention that he lied to the whole country about him being close to dying and his wife was the president for like the last 2 years.
No
Hard Drives and flash memory are physical media, they just don't take up a metric fuck ton of space and aren't ridiculously overpriced on the secondary market. An everdrive/softmodded console are the best ways to experience old games. They're dirt cheap compared to buying games, don't take up your entire wall, don't require you to constantly swap between games, and deliver virtually the same experience. Whenever I see anyone with a massive collection of games all I can think is that they could've been a down payment on a house.
Post'm
I notice you havent unlocked tekken ball mode. Do you even want to play?
That's me, 1975.
you got some serious bowing there
Hey I mean for 10 bucks I don't mind, it looks fine when playing. Plus Smash on a 32" CRT is pure kino
honestly looking forward to no longer being able to hear it, it annoys the shit outta me
Yikes. Get that thing serviced.
My girl
How much would servicing it even cost? I have a 20" trinitron that works great so I'm unsure if it'd even be worth it.
if anyone is even willing to work on it, probably 200 or so.
Yeah probably not worth it, it's a good CRT for playing Mario Party and shit but I always have my 20"
depends really. In 20, 30 years it'll still be working but who's to say for LCDs? There's already a lot of failure of 90s LCDs just from existing for too long. CRTs are the last irreplaceable technology around, they aren't being made any more but they're built to work provided the small components are healthy.
>There's already a lot of failure of 90s LCDs just from existing for too long.
What do you mean?
CRTs will become rare in 10-20 years when all will have blown capacitors and will be thrown out because no one will be willing to fix them
More and more people are willing to fix CRTs these days than just 5 years ago. They've become antiques that people go out of their way to maintain and restore.
Nice. I got two of these, people just give em away because they're so huge. One man's trash is another man's treasure.
Hahah exactly dude, it weighs 180 lbs so it was a bitch to get in and out of my car.
Man, I hate how the N64 looks.
>things boomers hate
>people mentioning watching their older brother play n64
>they being born after 1996
FFFFUCK OFF CHILDREN

>>The noise it makes hurts my ears
as someone in their mid 30s that hasn't destroyed their ears with headphones, the 60hz whine still bugs the absolute shit out of me
27 years old here I bought my first and own CRT when I was 25, shit is God-like for playing classic vidya.
Fuck CRT monitors
Things /vr/ doesn't do:
>actually play games
Shitty gay image
More accurate image
That's not accurate at all.
Gen X was born mid 60s-late 70s.
Millennials were born mid 80s-early 90s.
Gen Z was born early 2000s-present.
Early 80s and late 90s are buffer zones.
Shut up
>the reason all boomers have back problems
>It's too heavy
>It's too big
>It's too loud
>It's too expensive
How are these not legitimate complaints?
Good CRTs going for like 1k$+ nowdays. You can get a fucking gtx 2080 for these money. Also all that hardware is old and breaks all the time. It's just not worth it when you can emulate any game for free on pc.
>settling for inferior emulation
I mean I'd like to have a nice crt display but I don't want to burn my money on it. Tubes are way too problematic and hard to maintain.
The fuck are you smoking?
Born 2000 and I wish I still had my old CRTs around. Modern TVs look ugly as fuck when they're off and are flatter than paper. Nothing quite beats the "TV" look of a CRT.
Protip: don't buy an epic pro gamer gear PVM when you can get regular old CRTs for free.
Regular crts are shit.
>Zoomers hate CRTs
You're meeting the wrong zoomers.
My 17 year old college buddy has a Trinitron and a laserdisk collection.
I'm only 20 and even I keep a crt around.
Have my Saturn hooked up right now.
you still have to get it serviced, and you might as well get an RGB monitor if you're going that far. These things are over 30 years old in some cases. Those caps are gonna start to leak.
Who told you that? The same people buying and selling the "high end" displays I bet.
Because I'm fucking old enough to remember what regular crt image quality looked like?
>and a laserdisk collection.
Unless you're collecting them for the art, there's no reason to collect laserdiscs. You think disc rot is bad with retrogames? Imagine half the game discs you find looking like this.
Only RF really looks that bad. As much as it is unfairly disregarded today by many, composite looks good and s-video is even better.
>Things zoomers hate
Genuineness.
there's people who mod consumer CRTs for RGB, but you have to be parts of message boards to really ask people to do that for you.
>Genuineness.
>Sincerity
>all gone because you cannot enjoy things non ironically
I don't collect em, he does.
But he's well aware, he tells me about it all the time.
He's a weirdo that jumps in between weird hobbies all the time.
One month this, one month that, one month collecting as many old school Walt Disney themepark informational videos, maps and tee-shirts he could find.
I would drive around with him and he'd blast 70s Disneyland music out of his car.
He's a fuckin' weirdo.
Sounds like a cool dude. at least he's trying new things.
Yeah, I enjoy em.
I'm the same kinda way, but I'm more into franchises then totally different mediums for my flavor of the month stuff.
He just dives hard into stuff on a whim constantly.
>>The noise it makes hurts my ears
FUCK YOU
I HATED IT AS A KID AND HATE IT NOW
LCD screens are what enabled my internet life, I'd be literally unable to use a pc if we kept using crt
it's so fucking simple. do you remember 911? no? you're a zoomer.
sorry for the weird quality
the camera on my phone is pretty shitty
Imagine thinking outdated technology is better just because you like being contrarian. CRTV's were shit then and shit now. Let me replace my car with a horse and buggy because muh nostalgia.
>They're too expensive
drive around town on garbage day and you'll probably find one
34-year old boomer here, you never had to carry those things to a LAN party.
what's a crtv?
CRT TV is the long name, it's what a tv with a bigass box on the back is technically called.
Dumb Jojofag.
t. retard boomer
I'm 23.
Boomer is a state of mind. Not age these days user
>Yea Forums makes threads making fun of boomers for how little they understand youth and make retarded assumptions
>Yea Forums also makes threads making fun of zoomers and their culture
You guys are slowly becoming the people that enjoy shit like this. Don't become retarded like the boomers.
cathode ray television, sounds like the kind of word a mouthbreathing retard might use
