It is terrible for modern media, but for legacy media give me analog signal any day

I clean out houses for a living, you’d be very shocked how many functional rear projection and CRTs are in use and get thrown out “because old”.

Wreckfest is made in a very very similar vein if not the same studio iirc

Picked up a physical copy of Kirby AirRide this past weekend, what a unique game! Having never played it before but hearing friends hype it up I can say it’s well worth the larger price tag. Been having a blast and looking forward to grinding the time trials

- Comment on What's your favorite game you played this year? (Doesn't have to be released this year ) 11 months ago:
Sludge Life. Was such a fun little world with a killer art style. Has some really funny moments in it. I saw there were achievements for different endings so I may go back to it at some point to and try for those. Oh and a cool OST to go along with it
- Comment on Best of both worlds 1 year ago:
Awesome, thank you. I hadn’t experienced any issues even with my PC plugged into it from time to time. Definitely won’t be getting rid of it any time soon, daily driver till it kaputs.

The manual says type a. I am curious I haven’t heard of this issue before

I have a Toshiba crt with HDMI and everything before, I don’t know what I’ll do when it dies.
- Comment on What games can you recommend that didn't get the appreciation that they deserved? 1 year ago:
Love Bedlam! Picked it up on some dirt cheap sale a while ago and was pleasantly surprised at how much fun it was.
- Comment on What hobbies did you pick up during the pandemic and have you been able to keep them up? 1 year ago:
Id recommend the next step would be CRT(the old tube tvs) repair! So many are tossed every day where most just need a simple tube swap or alignment.
They are big dangerous things though so definitely read up and study up so you don’t get fried or seriously injured.
They add a lot to the old game systems and harm the enviorment from improper dispoal. Save a CRT 💚
- Comment on what actually is 195 and 196? 1 year ago:
195 was a general dump anything and everything subreddit. Went on a for a long while like 5+ years, started buy a guy and his roommate matt. Suddenly like 2018 a message appeared sticked to the top that said “social experiment completed” and the sub was locked. People moved to both 196 and 197. At the end of 195 it shifted more twords right wing bigotry type memes and screenshots. 196 added a rule to the only rule, bigotry screenshots were restricted to Saturdays which filtered out a lot of hateful content and the void of which was filled with positive more uplifting screenshots and memes. Without the fear of opening up a post and having it be the most bigoted take on something and calling it a meme the posters were able to put out their pride without the fear of hate in return.
The users who wanted to post the bigoted memes went to 197 since they were restricted to Saturdays only. Helped create a divide in 195s two posting groups and overall make 196 the place to be.
Sorry for wall of text but finally some niche lore I could contribute to.
