@orangelantern love this

I tried it with other streamers like Jerma but I only succeeded in making him burp.

@xian ah yes I should

@mjdxp i can't stand software filters either tbh I think most of them look really awful. Pixel sharpness on an LCD is fine, because otherwise you have that mushy natural upscaling the tv does by itself, but if a game was designed with crt pixel blending in mind you know I'm gonna play that on my crt lmao

@mjdxp i had an acorn pc running risc os when I was a kid and it was so good I really miss it and I wish risc os had ended up being a bigger thing. I used to play the crystal maze and lemmings on that thing sooo much. I think the british computing industry is interesting and I wish that it existed outside of raspberry pi now. Maybe it does and I haven't been paying attention

@mjdxp whenever someone posts modern footage of a game that was intended to be viewed on a CRT and talks about the graphics I honestly just cringe. There's youtubers out there who show captured footage from an emulator running at 4k for like a ps2 game with a wide-screen patch where half the UI is stretched to fuck because it was never intended for 16:9 it kinda drives me crazy lmao

@mjdxp all that to say he's not the only one i find annoying in that regard

@mjdxp when I worked in a game shop back in the UK I had some coworkers who were younger than me and you could tell who got their opinions from youtube and Americans on the internet. People talking about how the snes was so good and successful (mega drive outsold it WILDLY in the uk) and saying "oh but chrono trigger", "oh but earthbound" like man those games didn't even release in this region?? Not saying the snes is bad and I'm very glad these titles are widely available to play now but when you talk about the history of consoles and games it has been so poisoned by American gamers on YouTube talking on the topic in an insular way it's frustrating lol

@mjdxp he just has annoying zoomer opinions that ignore the contemporary time that consoles and games are released in when it comes to older games (and is also so so nintendo biased lmao) and also ignores a lot of the overseas history of things and then people watch the videos and start saying the exact same things as he said without actually reading any further into it. I like his main channel but the second channel is kinda like, hearing his dumb opinions just slightly too much as to be annoying

"The virtual boy isn't as bad as everyone says it is" man shut up what the hell are you talking about lmao his main point is that the games are generally fun but like if you can't play them without getting a migraine from the goggles then the console sucks

@mjdxp image search "IKEA lack server rack" and that's pretty close just with a side table lol

@theking yep!!

Have just learned that international women's day is tomorrow, which is today in other timezones. Please understand.

@gavi 👠

@gavi heel yes

@fen it could be good for writing discs from a media server without having to tie up a normal computer or something
