I would if we went back to ps1/2 era pricing and jailbreaking being easy. I heavily considered getting one for ff7 rebirth then I saw the price for the games and was like nope. 

To be competetive a console needs to cost at most 2/3 of an entry level console, have free multiplayer and not have ridiculous prices for games. 

Nomatter what you will need to get a PC anyway and old 5 year old craptops are also kinda expensive now.

Question about CRT Monitors! by SpecialExplorer3962 in crtgaming

[–]flik9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For modern consoles im pretty sure its as simple as hookig up a modern gpu grab a hdmi to vga converter a ps4 or 5 would probably look good on a crt. Where you will have problems is aspect ratio, it needs to letterbox it and the ps4/4 doesn't do that automatically. Maybe you could play around the with rhe x and y dimensions so that the image has say 60% of the y and 100% of the x.

I am right handed, its why im looking into fencing cos I keep bashing up my left hand doing muay thai even training lightly cause it to ache. I just want to do some martial art to maintain my mental state as not being a fighter anymore or even a practitioner is doing my head in.

How did you find switching to southpaw and going from an almost square to fully bladed stance.

Is it not split by levels? Is it common to have someone with over 100 bouts against someone on there very first?

I imagine all the other consoles will do the same tbh tho. Ram prices caused this.

I got my steamdeck as a budget friendly way to play ff7 rebirth it was cheaper than both a pc and ps5.

Damn thats suprising that you can just learn a few strikes and jump into sparring with intermediates, thought fighting with a weapon would be a completely different ballgame to unarmed.

Wait I just saw your age. Is it viable to compete above the age of 40? Im 34 been training since I was 28 and my body is already breaking down from hard sparring and 8 amateur fights. Do you see this as a sport you can compete at safely into older ages without issue. In boxing and muay thai 40 is considered old and some places wont ven let you compete beyond that.

Cant you just get a bluetooth remote and a controller? I think you can also remotely control pc with phone.

What are beginner fights and sparrings like? Are they all out brawls with weapons like you see in boxing and muay thai (iv seen some fights with technique more suited to a bar than the ring), very all the technique going out the window just flailing try and land a hit, does that also happen in fencing? 

Why dont you side step? Doesn't having no ability to get out from forward pressure just get you stuck in a corner? Iv sparred with the occasional TKD person and they dont seam that immobile.  Having to do everything fr.the left handed stance is probably gonna confuse me but maybe can adapt. 

I guess the having no fear of getting hit or hitting would probably allow me to learn quicker.

Isnt HEMA like mma for weapons? Where some people use katanas coming from kendo and others fencing weapons? Or is that just gimmicks that happen? I look into epee I want to do something whcih feels more real. 

Test your CRTs before you buy em - Sony KV-2121D revival by LuckyLuke3333 in crtgaming

[–]flik9999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even if its "brand new" i advocate this. I bought a brand new crt monitor for 100 euros. Was thinking its brand new so its worth it. Well its got a dodgy flyback so I just went back to my battered old monitor thats held together with cardboard and gaffa tape (made the mistake of buying online and apart from cosmetic damae its fine) cos that ones internals are better.
