Explain why you don't use smooth filters.
This is how they were meant to be experienced.

Because there is a difference between "the crt blended pixels together" and "i smeared Vaseline all over my screen"
>>12611414It looks bad.
>>12611414because I'd rather use a CRT filter that blends the pixels how they'd be on an actual TV than use this filter which just makes it look like dogshit and not at all like how they were meant to be experienced
>>12611414because that's not how the game ever looked, not even on a CRT.
Just use a CRT filter. CRT vs Raw
Nobody demands Netflix add filters for scan lines or curvature watch Friends or Cheers as they did back in the 80s and 90s. Only video game players demand preservation of flaws in old technology.
>>12611414because it creates ugly artifacts.
>>12612795I bet this sounded funnier in your head
>>12612819>>12612795Simpsons get ruined by widescreen
>>12611996That's blurriness, not smoothing.Different kinds of filters.
>>12611996Looks pretty good, just how I remember it.
>>12611414because my head has a brain in it
>>12612795>/vr/ is better than /tv/Exactly.
But I do. My default GBA shaders in retroarch are sabr_hybrid_deposterize followed by dot. I get the best of both worlds: smoothing and lcd grid.
>>12612824Some time ago I saw a re-run of an old episode, they trimmed the top and bottom edge of the show instead of allowing black bars on the side, it looked awful, cramped, and heads were cut off for no reason.
>>12611414This is better than any try hard CRT filter.
>>12611419This meme wrecked filter fags and they never recovered since
>>12612895Proof?Post 20 examples of try hard CRT filters.I'll wait.But, you won't, so concession accepted.
>>12612895Post 100 examples of bad CRT filters. Post 1,387 examples of bad CRT filters.
>>12611414Your own pictures is why. That just looks like shit.
>>12612970Looks great. Lines are smooth. No detail is lost. Easy on the eyes. No off putting darkened image or blown out fake bloom.
>>12611414It looks like ass. Even photoshop users avoid that shit like the plague.>It looks fineIt doesn't, you just have terminally shit taste
>>12613004What’s wrong with it?
>>12611414Even when I was a kid, that eagle sai2x shit looked terrible.>>12612795I do demand film grain in my old shows though.
>>12613007Nothing. People just use «It looks bad» as if it was an argument (it isn't).
>>12612795TV cucks are just absolutely powerless to do anything about it. Once they got away with editing the aspect ratios of shows like X-Files it was over.
>>12613007It tends to round things off and smooth them in awkward or unintended ways. I.e. the diamonds now lack hard corners. The filter lacks any way to distinguish when something should/shouldn't be smoothed or rounded and is applied universally. It's not as much a problem in your because screenshot because NES sprites are strong in contrast but detail can be lost or become ambigous, see the shy guy against the door.Plus it's just fucking ugly.
>>12611414Smooth filter for smooth brains.
>>12612795i watch 4:3 dvds on my crt tho and yes it does look better
>>12613158I don’t think it’s ugly.
>>12611419>>12611996/thread
>>12613295See>>12613004>you just have terminally shit taste
>>12611414Because it lowers the perceived resolution of the game and destroys details.
>>12613357That’s not a real argument.
>>12611414I'm already smooth enough, baby.
>>12611446holy larp, >>12611414 's filter is exactly how they looked on 90s consumer crts
if you had a small fraction of a pixel artist in you, you would never use filters like these.
