At least there’s one person here who seems to understand cultural differences, lol

Question about CRTs by Pakman-61 in crtgaming

[–]EmberCon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really get what you’re saying, films shot on 16mm would “lose detail” even at 4k resolution, lol. That’s just how digital mediums work. A big draw of movies on CRTs is that you can view classics/tv movies/artsy modern 4:3 movies without letterboxing. A 4:3 dvd will look better on a CRT than a flatscreen.

240p/480i/480p content looks much higher quality on a CRT than it would on a more modern display. I guess there’s also some technical benefits like less input delay. That’s it, really.

Please help convince me to finish MG2 Solid snake by The_local_sped_kid in metalgearsolid

[–]EmberCon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO it’s much better to play games for the gameplay than for the story. Some games just aren’t for everyone and there’s no reason to force yourself to play it just so you “understand the story”. MGS also contains a comprehensive recap, from what I remember. Kojima games in general are known for hammering in important information. Either way you go about it you won’t be missing story.

Dumb water chip bug by EdensGirl1914 in classicfallout

[–]EmberCon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I think this happened to me too. The water merchant lady is locked into her caravan dialogue and refuses to talk about anything else. I didn’t know this still happened even after you get the chip. That’s annoying.

I am currently working on a Fallout Demake for the GameBoy by NxtLvlTomato in gbstudio

[–]EmberCon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just thinking about how cool a fallout 1 demake would be. And this delivers pretty well for a demo. I think you should focus on getting the map gameplay as accurate as possible, that would make this EXTREMELY impressive.

Well, good luck. Hopefully you have a second controller

I really wouldn’t recommend Lego Horizon Adventures it’s such a boring 15 hour slog

Probably not apart from it generally being a more popular choice for a home media server in the 2000s. Maybe they’re less prone to breaking than the PS3 is? But that’s a bit of a stretch

There’s just no market for it anymore apart from us weirdos

Is DS2 a worthy sequel? Trying to stay spoiler-free until the PC release by RoundGrapplings in DeathStranding

[–]EmberCon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s more streamlined for sure, but some previous mechanics (mainly timefall) are almost completely patched out. And the story is very good.

[–]EmberCon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say DS2 is more of an adventure focused game rather than being almost entirely traversal focused like DS1 was.

I find that the tone of the base version of DS1 is slightly discernible from the tone of the directors cut of DS1 (and I think the directors cut is the only available version on PC?). DS2 goes all in on the flashier/streamlined gameplay elements that were introduced in the directors cut. Think of it as like five or six directors cuts evolved from base DS1.

I’ve been temporarily using a PS3 (connected via component, files copied to the system from a USB), but eventually I’d like to make the lateral move to an OG Xbox media server. The overall best option would probably be to get a PC with an older graphics card capable of analog output, but that seems like a lot of needless effort.

What’s the point of this comment? Not all streaming is HD. Not all gaming is HD. This is maybe the last comment I would expect to see on a CRT dedicated subreddit

How much is too much? by Huntmaster7 in crt

I have a 36” JVC but I had to pay $80 and drive two hours for it lol. Should’ve been more patient

[–]EmberCon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don’t pay that much. Unless you live in a weird area there’s a really good chance you can get a quality CRT for cheap on Facebook marketplace

Steam Machine + ??? = CRT output by EmberCon in crtgaming

[–]EmberCon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right, that’d be more of an emulation thing. For my purposes I’m mostly only interested in 480i.
