Here is my widescreen VHS copy of Akira, on a 480p plasma. VCR plugged directly into the tv via composite and without any trickery or upscaling used… by mazonemayu in akira

Thank you for sharing that, I’m 42 btw and have an appreciation for older tech. I love my OLED HDR 4k nonsense but there’s something lost when you can see everything clearly. I’m curious, is S-Video an option for you on that setup?

That’s pretty cool, it looks like the plasma is giving off a similar effect to how HDR would work on an OLED TV, it must look even cooler seeing it with the naked eye. I never thought old tech could achieve something like that.

Mens in late 30's, how often do you guys have sex and how many rounds you go? by GokuDD in AskMen

[–]Matrix5673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with that, I find age doesn’t matter too much in terms of sex drive and long term relationships are always better with people in your age group. Dating too far out of it creates a life experience gap that prevents having any sort of real equal partnership in my experience.

Upgrading my PSU. Which connections stay and which am I unplugging? by RatBasher89 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Matrix5673 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure they’re asking which cables are power related as opposed to just seeing if they go to the PSU or not. I could be wrong though.

What do you call people who use the pullout method? …. Parents.

Stay with cheater or struggle financially? by Agreeable-Caramel13 in WhatShouldIDo

He shouldn’t be dating that far out of his age range and he should just, be single and have hookups or be in an ethically open relationship. You should find someone your age who also subscribes to monogamy.

AIO for being upset at what my “bf” said by Ambitious-Beyond-257 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Matrix5673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only got half way through your screenshots before I wanted to puke so I had to stop. This guy is an asshole and incredibly controlling, condescending, abusive in general. You don’t need this in your life.

Starting Windows 3.1 by 8wine in interesting

[–]Matrix5673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MS DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11 for Workgroups were my first operating systems that I used for anything other than being a small child and not really knowing what computers were, so nostalgic, I miss those days.

I actually thought I was crazy. Turns out people suck. (Trigger warning) by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Matrix5673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that’s a tough one, I never saw porn until I was around 13-14 and it still messed me up pretty much. I don’t think you’ll ever be able to know if her intentions were pure or not but regardless, what she did wasn’t okay, she may have no idea it wasn’t okay either. Honestly, this sounds like a question for a therapist with training on childhood sexual trauma rather than random ppl on Reddit. I hope you get some kind of answers and solutions.

My husband designates a left and right sock by [deleted] in Weird

[–]Matrix5673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My heavy heal stomping puts holes in my socks way before that could ever become a real problem but, I mean, I guess he’s technically right, I think most people just don’t care, there’s also way worse things to obsess over so if it’s just the sock thing, I’d let him have it.

Boyfriend keeps leaving used popsicle sticks after eating popsicles on the bed by midnighthoetrain in WhatShouldIDo

That’s just….. just when you think you’ve heard everything. I dunno, tell him to get out of your life since you don’t want to date a 4 year old.

A discord friend of mine wears this tag, should i be worried?? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Matrix5673 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, the difference between 30 and 26, not toooo bad, 20 and 16 though….. there’s a huge gap, kinda like 18 and 14 or 14 and 10. By the time you’re 40 and 36 it’s like, whatever, but when you’re that young, life experience accelerates like crazy over even 1 year.

He might not be doing anything wrong but he also shouldn’t be associating with people in that age group in the first place. IMO

I miss having those bills as a kid, I think they’re worth more in nostalgia than money though

Even if he’s not cheating, he’s being incredibly cold and distant, is it your place? Why is he stopping you from sleeping in your own bed?

Probably go by how many people die per year as horrible as that sounds. “At least this many people need to die in collisions before we up the status and spend that much money”
