Merida, again
Imagine actually butchering street fighter zero like that, holy fuck.
Have you ever played street fighter at an arcade, on a 240p arcade monitor, you know, the kind of display its visuals were designed for?

I have and those shit scanline effects people use are retarded for the most part. These days people use stupid scanline filters just because and have no idea.

Yes, and these retarded scanline filters look nothing like it.
Here's a comparison between a real CRT (with a higher TVL) and an emulated CRT

Aside from the difference in brightness (due to the emulation strategy of relying on LCD backlight rather than whiter pixels for the effect), and the higher TVL of the actual CRT, it is very, very, very close.

If you know what you're doing, and you have a good enough display, you can get very good results.

Decided to revisit Dead Cells after ~5 years.

I've played v1.0.2 back in 2018. Now I've installed v1.24.4 and it looks like they've added even moar broken weapons:

Found this baby in 2nd dome. Looking forward to replacing it like never. :roll:

Anyway, after like 30 minutes and some cheap deaths, it feels just like home:

One of the VERY few fun roguelikes. Plus the amount of content (with all DLCs) is insane:

Each time someone adds retarded ugly scan lines to his old games, Darth Roxor inscribes that person's name on a bullet.

I mean, if you're gonna be a nutsack about it

You need some kind of CRT filter or retarded scanlines when playing these older games. Raw pixels look like shit on average and transparencies don't show through unless you're applying a filter of some sort

I generally lean towards the crt-guest-ntsc filter. Most console stuff you'd have played on an NTSC TV. Here's crt-guest's ntsc default settings as a comparison point:

Each one of these filters has dozens of parameters to dick with, and fiddling with them is kind of a pursuit in and of itself. I always feel compelled to adjust the defaults. Last time I sat in front of an ol tube TV set and played an old console with a buddy the image honestly looked somewhat blurry, and the TV set gave off a nice warm glow not unlike a vinyl record player. So I don't mind bumping up the halation and bloom a bit, or turning resolution scaling down a notch.

I really liked the filter I had going on my previous laptop, but I dropped it like a retard and despite an upgraded box I don't like how my current filters look compared with my old setup:

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
I like it. Anyway, I was really always more of a world type guy, than a boss fight guy. I enjoy the world in this one a lot. Frankly, I suck at these kind of games and I only finished Dark Souls 1. I really like this one though, although I recognize that the dodges, frames, whatever are more forgiving that in Fromsoft games. I still struggle to beat some bosses.

I only have the last beacon left. I'll beat Elden Ring next, never got around to finish it. I'd recommend it, fuck all the fags on steam crying about performance, co-op. My 3060 is running it on Ultra without any issues.

Finally, a good 2d Mario game. I never liked the 3d titles, but this is Nintendo going back to the roots, in style. Many interesting mechanics to be found here.
Runs very well on 1440p 60fps in Vulkan, on Ryujinx.

Just use the Windows Xbox Game Bar, which is enabled by default. Press Win + Alt + PrtSc for a high quality PNG screenshots. Those Mario ones above are 5MB each, but they look crisp.
