No CRT No Life!! I love these babes, they're way better than modern TVs.
>>
ugly ass crt shader you got there
>>
No idea what you're talking about

post your shader + overlay bait in the trinitroon containment thread
>>
>>12928229
A CRT is good, but I would take a modern LCD any day over that hideous abomination of a shader. Seriously who creates this hideous garbage.
>>
>>12928254
What exactly is ugly about it?
>>
>>12928262
If you need to ask you'll never understand. It would be easier to explain to an Indian why eating dung is bad.
>>
>>12928271
So you don't know?
>>
>>12928278
I don't know how to explain it to someone who does not see it. Like how would you convince someone the sky is blue who was adamant it was green.
>>
>>12928281
I know, you keep saying that, and it feels like you're avoiding giving an answer, but it should be easy to explain. What exactly is ugly about it? Specific things. This shouldn't be hard.
>>
>>12928281
>I don't know how to explain it
Because you don't know. You have a feeling, and you can express that you have a feeling, but you're incapable of basic reasoning to give an actual reason for why you feel that way. Which means you're literally in the lowest level of consciousness possible. That is the say, you're legitimately a retard and you should see a psychiatrist so you can take an IQ test.

>>12928306
I am not going to cheapen myself explaining things that are clear to anyone with subjective experience.
>>
>>12928310
Too dumb to explain it then, gotcha.
>>
>>12928310
Or, as you previously said, you are unable to explain it. You think it looks bad, but you don't know why you think that.

On the other hand, I can explain why I think it looks good. The curvature reminds me of playing on TV's in that era. I like the reflections on the bezel, we had a silver TV in our house in the 2000s so it reminds me of playing on that. I think it's neat that the reflections appear, and also the reflections on the "glass" are very neat and nostalgic. And I like the grill pattern because it reminds me of sitting real close to the TV in my bedroom as a kid and seeing the grill pattern on that TV while playing with my SNES.

So, what do you think looks bad about it?

These CRT artifacts don't add to the core of what makes a CRT, they are basically defects that one tolerates. Also, CRT curvature is hardly even noticeable IRL whilst it looks ridiculous in shaders.

Try to explain what you're talking about
>they are basically defects that one tolerates
They're visual alterations that people do to make games look closer to how they remember
>CRT curvature is hardly even noticeable IRL whilst it looks ridiculous in shaders.
It depends on the TV. They came in different shapes and with varying degrees of curvature up until the end when they became flat. The level of curvature that I set the filter to is supposed to match the CRT that I have in my closet.

I used to have a fuckhuge CRT but we junked it for being a heavy piece of shit. Now I'd have to pay like $800 just to rebuy it. You really don't appreciate things until they're gone.
>>
>>12928456
What is with people and this heavy nonsense. Are you people twigs. I used to move CRTs up the stairs when I was like 12 years old. Its not that heavy.

Not true, there's a lot of downfalls by comparison to modern TVs. I still have this hand-me-down and you cannot have non-shielded speakers around it which is practically everywhere now. On the poor end, like mine, there's no RGB and no one around can mod it to take RGB leaving a very disgusting dot-crawling picture with composite as you can see with this actual picture. Speaking of which, taking pictures and filming the CRT is very difficult, even in this picture there's a line off color in the picture right above Kamui's knee. These are not problems with modern TVs which has so many more advantages.
>>
>>12928923
RGB is completely soulless, ugly and not the intended experience. You might as well use an LCD if you like "clarity". Nice AI image.
>>
>>12928271
Weird that you seem to have an emotional instability problem, doesn't affect me at all.

>>12928310
"Cheapen yourself"? But you're already not worth anything. You don't have any value here, yet you're posturing like you've cashed your check before it was written.

I can explain why you're so upset at shaders, in fact. It's because you don't have a personality, so you supplanted it with something like "playing retro games", and if anyone plays retro games in a different way from you, this deletes the one thing you have that makes you feel unique. Someone else playing with their toys in a different way literally causes you ego death because you have nothing else to cling to as an identity. It's as incredibly transparent as it is predictable.
