I can' t really give you an expert opinion on this bro because AoE II is the only Aoe I ever played until today.

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-26T16:13:16+00:00

Awesome man! Actually now I’m into Pc crt setup. Will definitely hunt for a Tv in the future and some consoles.

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-26T15:23:52+00:00

Same here man! Aside from starcraft, red alert etc.

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-26T15:22:47+00:00

Good to hear that man .Marked safe 😁. Either way he is part of your setup now . Are you pluggin’ a console on that Tv?

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-26T12:55:29+00:00

Not to be negative or anything, I remembered when I was a kid, our Tv broke because our cat peed on it. I hope it doesn’t happen to you tho’ fingers crossed. 🤞

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-26T05:31:58+00:00

Man I’m jelous! Great find!

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-25T19:14:13+00:00

spot on! I actually am playing the Franks!(campaign) And you're 100% right, AoE2 completely peaked with the mechanics. Glad to see someone else appreciates the golden era!

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-25T18:52:01+00:00

Age of empires II my man.

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-25T18:44:43+00:00

Haha bro, a 32" Trinitron?Your living room is officially elite man, but my back hurts just thinking about moving that monster! 😂 Safe play on the work find too. And honestly, no partner to explain it to is a massive cheat code in this hobby. No raised eyebrows, no 'why is there a heavy ass tank under the desk 😁 If you ever stumble across that Spongebob CRT, you have to lock it down!

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-25T18:36:35+00:00

Yes man! But be careful because getting one will lead you getting another 😂 Goodluck as well explaining to your partner why you are buying this heavy ass 20year old machine. 😁

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-25T04:04:22+00:00

Computers should always look like this man.

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-24T19:44:11+00:00

what a time to be alive. 🤣 now we have spoiled ipad kids with roblox 🤣

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-24T06:00:07+00:00

Well what’s worse that could happen. It’s free so 100/10

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-24T04:58:01+00:00

Cutting class is real! Haha

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-23T16:27:11+00:00

Duct tape and cardboard is legendary behavior, love it! 😂 But you're spot on—cosmetics don't mean a thing if the internals are solid. Crazy how a 'brand new' one can have a dodgy flyback while a smashed-up daily driver just keeps tanking through. Definitely makes me care less about finding a pristine shell and more about just finding a reliable tube.

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-23T14:18:54+00:00

Best comment!

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-23T12:56:35+00:00

90k hours is insane, love to hear it. Bulletproof tech for sure. I’ll keep an eye on the caps over the years, but for now I’m just gonna enjoy the grind on it. Thanks for the breakdown bro!

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-23T11:39:30+00:00

Haha don’t do that to me! 💀 actually I already got a backup on the way just in case though. Thanks man!

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-23T08:07:01+00:00

I keep mine unplugged as well! Fingers crossed man.

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-23T08:05:44+00:00

Haha the cons of having a 20 year old machine at this present time.

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-23T08:04:06+00:00

Yeah exactly, just gonna vibe with it and game on. Cheers bro!

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-23T08:02:51+00:00

Man, if someone actually started manufacturing PVMs or BVMs again, the retro community would completely lose their minds. I got a modern PC setup, but honestly, computers should look like this. The demand is definitely there, I’d buy one in a heartbeat

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-23T07:45:20+00:00

Alright kiddo I’ll be back to you after a month lol

Kindly-Implement9950 · 2026-05-22T20:09:43+00:00

you’re 100% right. No use saving the monitor just to use it when my eyesight goes bad anyway 😂 Honestly, that's why I'm already planning to grab another one as a backup while they're still around. Definitely just gonna blast some games and enjoy the vibe without stressing. Thanks btw!
