are CRTs truly worth it when emulators can improve visuals, among other things?
Are CRTs truly worth it when emulators can improve visuals, among other things?
If you've got the money, why not?
CRT will always be the more authentic experience, but, the price attached is a pretty steep one, and emulators have a fair few perks these days.
inb4 why lizards need tits???
No, it's a nostalgia thing. Besides, interlaced shit displayed "properly" hurts the eyes more.
I dare you to avoid the obvious bait.
they’re cheap, tho
Yes they can enhance old games.
Let's see if Jannie let's you live.
I want the argonian, RIGHT NOW.
They're not too bad. But, delivery can be a bitch.
Post Lizard titties already.
I'm just here for lizard titties
I bet she's got a cute penis
CRTs are worth it even with emulators. Until games can be upscaled perfectly nothing beats playing at native resolution.
Give me lizard tits already.
god i wish anthros were real
AAAAA I JUST WANT SOME LIZARD TITS
>need
Maybe she just wanted them.
it is good because it feels good
Post lizard titties then.
Big lizard milkers
>tfw get horny every time I play an Argonian female
>don't get this when I play anything else
I see all these posts asking for it but no one's budging. What's it take to get some argonian in here?

If you don't like a thread you can just leave.
If you don't like ACTUALLY discussing vidya and vidya-related topics and not posting thinly veiled porn threads YOU can just leave.
Come off it Jannie boy. Not every thread needs to discuss mechanics and design, character discussion is allowed.

you can emulate using a CRT, use a CRT with original hardware, emulate on a HDTV with enhanced visuals or play original hardware on a HDTV with a line-doubler for enhanced visual quality.
The only really bad combination is a HDTV with component video.
>are CRTs truly worth it when emulators can improve visuals, among other things?
CRT is the single most pathetic "fad" in gaming right now. It was born entirely from the nostalgia of aging boomers desperate to plug in the ole Xbox so they can try and recapture those fleeting moments of childhood with the Good Ole Games as they were "meant to be played."
But that's not even what the thread is about you fucking delusional coomer. Is your brain really so far gone that you already forgot?
Absolutely correct
The title image is of a lizard, an argonian, so it is related. Unless pics dont matter now? Go to your super serious mechanics thread and fuck off please.
only half correct.
It is a fad that has inflated CRT prices, but it will improve the look of games if you haven't got the means to make them look good on an LCD.
shh he has posted more than 8 posts in thread for asking lizard tits now i think he is a bit autistic so just ignore him
Fine prove it. Or dont and just post more useless posts.
Imageboards are for posting images and discussion. You can have one or the other. If you're gonna be autistic about this I better see you reeing anytime somebody dumps an artbook for a game.
A good upscaler like OSSC or Framemeister costs less than a used top-quality CRT. Unless you get lucky at the thrift store or junkyard there's no reason to fall for the meme.
>Imageboards are for posting images and discussion. You can have one or the other
I don't think I need to say anything further here
I'm glad you agree with me, posting images related to video games and discussing video game related topics are not mutually exclusive for an imageboard. Which is what Yea Forums is, if you were not aware yet, my new chum.
>Every image MUST contribute with thoughtful high quality text
Only mods actually care about this ideal.
You can have both. I'm not disagreeing with making this an argonian lewdposting thread, but basically this thread could have 4 things going on.
>Talking about CRTs
>Talking about lewd argonians
>Posting images about CRTs
>Posting images of lewd argonians
Or any mix of talking and images.
It has nothing to do with nostalgia when people are getting high end production CRTs and RGB modded consoles that no household at that time would have had. Dumb zoom zoom zoom
I wish, the new janitors seemingly delete threads or send them to trash if number 4 or if a certain "lewd" limit gets reached I guess.
Somebody can feel nostalgic feelings from something even if they're technically incorrect and it's different. Human memory is really shit
fine

please go to fucking /trash or e621 so you could jack off or some shit if you are still here and reading this
Cathode ray tubes are still unrivaled in color reproduction IMO. The truest blacks and most vibrant colors. It's a shame they're not really produced anymore.
I can understand people my age or greater wanting them for nostalgia's sake, but college age kids jacking off over them is just weird.
t. zoomer
That's Supercharged Nostalgia, you gimbo. They're going out of their way to crank things up to 11 and experience the whole thing like the rose-tinted fever dream it was.
I find it funny how people spend more time arguing about how you can't have multiple discussions going on in a single thread, or even a single post, than actually responding to actual topics. I can't be the only person that's said something serious in one quote and ogled some fat anime tits in another.
Now if only someone could do the 4th thing ITT.
>Projecting and moving goalposts this hard
All I'm saying is that maybe Yea Forums doesn't need softcore porn getting posted all over the place
Wish you fags were this passionate of getting rid of twitter screenshot threads or obvious bait
Says who, you? I like sexy women, many other posters do. Don't be such a segregationist.
Why not? Cute girls are good and it's vidya related. If you want to clean up Yea Forums, then start complaining about the dumb template threads.
>I find it funny how people spend more time arguing about how you can't have multiple discussions going on in a single thread, or even a single post, than actually responding to actual topics.
Because autists would rather sperg out about what they don’t like. You’ll especially get even more screeching if an animal person gets posted.
And maybe if that bothers you, you could use other avenues of discussion where it's frowned upon to do so, then you could be around like minded people that actually agree with you. Not everywhere on the internet needs to suit itself for your tastes. Now talk about CRTs or go whence ya came.
From the game? Maybe. From a production CRT with any cable better than RF or composite? That's a lot of fucking different. I'm playing through a game I played back in the day right now but with the better setup and the experience is way different despite the game being a little nostalgic. But if the experience was pure nostalgia, you'd put it down after a few hours because that's how that shit works. I've got dozens of hours clocked in right now after setting up after a move and finally having space for the CRT. That's appreciation, not nostalgia. Anyone putting in the money right now who isn't a fucking hipster knows the difference.
Finally some good posting.
I wouldn't say CRTs are necessary. A Retrotink 2x and/or an OSSC can make the games look phenomenal.
I would say it is worth playing games on the hardware it was designed for (pirated of course) because emulation is shit.
>shit looks amazing in the present
>it's just rose tinted glasses
Okay retard. You keep thinking you can be nostalgic for something you never actually experienced in the first place. That's not how it works.
Sauce on these?
Can we have some more of this?
to attract the BWC
God I wish I was an Argonian girl with a Nord or Imperial husband.
