Why is it so easy to do retro gaming "wrong"? There's all sorts of things that "diminish the purity" of the era you're trying to enjoy.
I think you meant to type this into Grok.
what the fuck is wrong youjust enjoy playing the game that's all you have to doand if you don't find another game or hobby

>>12618237try posting on /v/, and I'm not saying it as an insultthis board sucks
>>12618241If you won't then I will.>>12618237Take your fucking GARBAGE THREAD and post on /v/ instead because we demand a higher standard of contributions.
>>12618245>we demand a higher standard of contributionsI'm not sure about that anymore, man. This is how a /vr/ thread goes on /v/ nowadays:https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/740230791
>>12618230that is a nonsensical statement. just play the fucking games and enjoy them. that's what they're for.
>>12618402ThisAll of western culture is built on piss poor translations of stories somebody told around a fire that he heard from his granddad the same way. Don't worry about it so much
>>12618230Who cares? Just play a game and if it's good you'll have fun. Having a perfect hardware or emulation setup isn't as important. It's fun to talk shit and makes for interesting discussion sometimes but most of us just emulate on our PC monitors anyway. Try not to take any of the retro purity rhetoric too seriously.
>Why is it so easy to do retro gaming "wrong"idk just emulate the game, grab a decent controller, use a crt filter, don't abuse save states, and you're all set
>>12618236As unfortunate as it may be, videogames ARE art, and art deserves to be criticized, lest we devolve into a diffuse slop of mediocrity.
>>12618402That's the problem. If you don't set the games up right you'll not be able to enjoy them.
>>12620036Ok autist.
>>12618237make better threads, unc
>>12620051>kid tries to play a game with 10 frames of input lag, graphics destroyed by uneven scaling and lack of CRT shader, on a shitty $5 chink clone of a ps2 pad>kid: "this sucks! retrogaming fucking sucks!"
>>12620094Why is the child swearing?
>>12620094kid's fault for playing on a hand-me-down jeettop from 2010
>>12620096Kids love to fucking cuss.
>>12620094>arcade devs refuse to properly port their games>this is everyone elses faultIf the devs themselves don't give a shit about their games, why should I?
>>12618230As long as you aren't using save states or rewind, there's not really many "wrong" ways to enjoy retro gaming
>>12620163I thought stretching 4:3 would make you vomit.
>>12620129who the fuck said it was "everyone else's" fault, schizo-brain?
>>12620210>some kid plays an arcade game on whatever he has, expecting the LE BASED HARDCORE arcade devs to give a shit and port it correctly>they obviously don't>the kid plays a terrible version and somehow is blamed
>>12620317No one blamed the kid, you dumbass who can't read.
>>12620036Maybe you can't enjoy them but I sure did
>>12618468they are not art, they're products. like a restaurant; some are just McDonalds and some are Michelin star. but at the end of the day, it's a product meant to be consumed and then moved on from. only pretentious hipsters disagree.
>>12618230What's complicated about using the correct fucking aspect ratio, you moron? Can you honestly not fucking tell?
