Just what are you try to imply here

I, in just about every case, give no attention to norm-based arguments. We as a species on a whole, proportionally, keep doing foolish shit all the time.

But it was after reading your comment that I noticed there was a time that many Germans were either proponents of or tolerating (not all of them absolutely; there were rebels) some extremely bad things. Some 85 years ago.

Might and Magic Book One does not. Heroes of Might and Magic 2 does not. Carmageddon does not. Elder Scrolls Arena does not.

I played them. With the filter. That's where I got the idea from.

Edit: These are pre-2000's games, sure. It isn't big enough of a problem for me anyway, I can ignore the title.

"You're emulating retro games wrong" is not the best title. For example, Dosbox Staging enabled the CRT filter by default at some point; there is no graphical interface, you need to open a file and change a line to revert it. Moreover, there was no indication that the black lines were not a bug but were a filter.

Playing DOS games on operating systems which do not support DOS programs natively is still emulation. However, the number of DOS games which utilised CRT effects are much fewer such that I primarily played DOS games in 2022–23 and none of them made use of CRT. However, the black lines were enabled till I figured it out (because there were no support requests surprisingly, and the default filter being changed was mentioned in an unrelated request regarding bad performance issues—where it was made known and the recommendation was made to change the setting).

The (slight) problem is with the title itself. It is not a big issue for me, but the statement made in the title is the problem because it is only in a comment that it was mentioned not all old games use CRT effects. Clickbait might not be the best word for describing the situation, but the title will be annoying for many who play old games which were not designed for CRT effects. But then, it is not a big problem and I more or less ignored it (to be clear, for being wrong as far as the title itself goes) before seeing this thread. It would've been better to state directly instead that many old console games and games of the adventure genre, among others, were designed with these filters in mind and for practical reasons (like actually having the graphics show what they were meant to show) because like in your other comment that specific scene does not show the background at all without the effect, and it will be a fairly common occurrence for games which were designed to use the CRT effect.

Edit: spelling

Elon Musk's business in China sparks controversy

Did not spark adequate controversy would be a better fit.

Yeah, I'm at 1080p and have usually not had any issue with the games I've wanted to play. From Might and Magic Book One (1986) to Monster Hunter World/Iceborne. But I'm very selective with the games I play—usually do not tolerate bugs or unnecessarily resource intensive ones where it would've needed a lot less for the same thing with more care taken.

GTX 1650 mobile works cool for me. 1980's–mid/late 2010's and solo dev games, yeah😁

Pornhub is more eloquent that those governments💀

In all seriousness, I hope this person will be fine. It is usually detrimental to self preservation, with either active or passive aggression, to openly state what things are. I hope this person can protect himself from any harm of any nature (even harassment).

Incidental, but the cause of Valery Legasov's death is accepted to be suicide. Whether that is actually what happened I won't argue for however, it is something I do not know anything about.

I do not agree with the method of Luigi Mangione, if he was indeed the one who killed Brian Robert Thompson, because it completely put him in the power of others. A better way is to be a pain in the backsides of all such as Brian Robert Thompson (which is not going to be even a tiny fraction affected by the politics of saying what should or should not be done as it is going to be by non co-operation, civil disobedience and boycotts), such that they can no longer do what they do and no one can simply replace them (which is what will probably happen now. I doubt too many are concerned about the deceased very badly, instead their own safety. The chances of a 'better person' taking the CEO role are low). That said, what he will face is likely to be anything but 'justice'. On the surface, yes, but I would heavily doubt any claim made that he was not subjected to illegal treatment, and continues to not be subjected to it, while in custody. This is on the basis of the reaction of the authorities to the killing, mostly from the political and law enforcement. One would think that the most benevolent person was killed by one who is varying degrees of being evil. The authorities who control the process have mostly taken a side, and that is never the feature of a system which seeks to uphold 'justice'.

This looks like the plot of Chernobyl, which was a TV show creation of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster which tried to portray what happened mostly, re-enacted. I hope this fellow does not face harassment as a result of this article. Though that is unlikely.

People with power behaving like people with power. There used to be concessions to logic, but that I see less and less.
