No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Lots of these games were designed on and for CRT screens and they look worse on a modern one without filtering.
This thread is full of insane people because all of the comments are saying the CRT ones look worse. I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone here. Unbelievable.
how can you just dismiss someone's opinion? you don't have to agree, it's literally an opinion, not fact. let people do what they want with the filters and quit giving people shit over what they like. you don't have their eyes.
I disagree. I emulate a lot, and the CRT stuff makes them look worse to me. Just adds noise to the image.
Either you are doing the shaders wrong and messing up the image, or you may need to have your vision checked....the CRT images are vastly superior to the non-crt ones. There really just isn't any other possible take on this, I'm sorry.
people can disagree on what they like better?
I disagree, and the second image (which is reversed vs the others) doesn't look any better. It's just as bad in it's own way.
Its objectively more sharp
You're absolutely right. I think everyone in this thread has glaucoma or something.
Shit, I better see a Doc. If only I could, but I have glaucoma or something.
Did you come up with that edgy reply all by yourself or did you utilize ChatGPT for that snarky comment?
No idea how to respond to this, so I decided to try your suggestion, and honestly, it's worse.
In all honesty, my garbage replies come naturally.
Lol that's funny. I'm changing my downvote to an upvote. You've moved me sir.
Sorry to be dumb, but which ones are the crt ones?
Assuming the right ones, except for the middle pic, looks like the left one. The person who replied with these should have mentioned which was which...
The right ones.
CRT pixels weren't perfect blocks, making them look better with special care. It actually made some processes much easier to calculate as they could rely on that method to "round out" the image.
Edit: Except the second image
It only looks better because of nostalgia. I think the filter-less ones look better.
Lol wut? Insane take. The CRT emulated ones look vastly superior. The non crt ones look pixelated as fuck.
The pixelated look is fashionable at the moment. I wonder if that’s the reason.
I think people maybe expect old games to be pixelated just because they're old. (Because old = pixelated?) So when they see the CRT version look more blurred, they are confused and think it looks wrong. That's my guess
