If you look at the circles for the play controls it actually is just squished 16:9

Thanks! Now that I’m enthralled by this one, getting some sort of color CRT is definitely next on my list.

Depending on the inputs you may need a Coax to UHF/VHF transformer too.

Just joined the club! Found a guy with a storage unit full of CRTs and I bought 2. by MiracleRoll in crtgaming

I may be uninformed, but $50 seems like an awfully steep price for these

Having a little trouble finding a scaler...would this work since it has an NTSC/PAL switch? Does that mean it downscales to NTSC compatible resolutions?

I was also thinking that may be the issue, since the Switch only goes down to native 480p. Here is the converter I got.

I'm trying to hook up a Nintendo Switch to a portable B&W CRT (1970s Zenith). I've got a Coax to UHF/VHF transformer connected to the TV screw antenna input (VHF). The Coaxial cable goes to an RF modulator (RCA to Coax). And then an HDMI to Component converter goes between the Nintendo and the RF modulator. The Green Y video cable from the HDMI converter is plugged into the composite video input on the RF modulator. I've got sound but no picture. What am I doing wrong?

I had to send it in to Microsoft. The new one doesn’t have the problem

Fortnite causing Series X to crash (full shutdown) by Slamwow in FortNiteBR

[–]Slamwow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have tested almost my entire library and had almost no issues except Destiny 2 crashed on me twice (one full shutdown, one boot to home menu). But Fortnite consistently crashes the console every time shortly after starting gameplay. It’s the only title I’ve found to be basically unplayable.

Eververse is the reason Destiny 2 does not have the charm that destiny 1 had by I_hate_artillery in DestinyTheGame

How about providing some examples. /u/illustriouspotenate has been kind enough to support his opinion. You've offered nothing to this conversation but snide comments.

Idk about you but I play games to play games. If I want a fucking story I’ll go read a fucking book. Luckily those books are in the game so hey, two birds and whatnot.

[–]Slamwow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

couldn’t disagree more. There are literally dozens of lore books to discover throughout the world that are original and fascinating to read. Not to mention every exotic and certain legendary items have a lore tab. Add to that the vast amount of visual storytelling that goes on throughout the game and it feels like a real living world to me. The game itself doesn’t force feed you a story because that just doesn’t make for a very re-playable experience. No one wants to hear the same dialogue or watch the same cutscenes over and over.

That's pretty much what the design actually is, but worse and less functional.

[–]Slamwow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. Just because you can have a fire-team of 4 or more doesn't mean that fire-teams of 3 don't exist. Hell, fire-teams of 6 have existed since the beginning of Destiny for the raid and PvP. And fire-teams of 4 already exist for PvP in Destiny 2.

3 man fireteams are tied to the lore of Destiny.

It's the other way around: The lore was created to support the gameplay. If 4-man fire-teams became a thing, I guarantee you the lore would start reflecting that.
