- Comment on Anon reflects on e-sports 6 months ago:
The transmission is still the same with the exception of things like VRR and DSC. We still send a VBLANK signal which is the electronic signal to tell a CRT to move up to the top of the screen. We don’t change the way things are sent. It’s still top down, left to right. VSync and HSync are still used but make less obvious sense on LCDs. Digital displays translate this.
Because LCDs convert these signals, we call the time it takes to do the conversion “draw time” but this isn’t as important today. What matters now is the time it takes for a pixel to change one color to another (response time). Because a CRT would fire electrons, the next frame would essentially vanish pretty quickly. LCDs don’t do this.
Conversely OLEDs are plenty fast, but can’t reproduce the same pixel response without inserting a blank frame with Black Frame Insertion which sacrifices brightness and is being slowly removed.
Still, most “lag” comes from transmission time. It takes 1/60s of a second to transmit a full frame at 60hz. Divided that 2 to get the “average” lag and CRTs would measure at 8.3333ms. LCDs were happy to get to 10ms.
Now we can do 120hz which is way more important since even if CRTs are faster, you can get the whole image out in half the time, which “averages” at 4.1666ms, making even a “4ms” slow LCD on PC better than the console running at 60hz on CRT.
And while CRTs could reach high resolution, these were limited by their HSync speed which usually means lower resolution, because a CRT could only move do quickly horizontally.
Today that translates to an OLED is best for emulating any console that ran at 60hz and better or as good pixel response time if you are willing to do BFI. The main reason why the competitive Melee community still uses CRT is mostly pricing, second to FUD.

That’s three ad-hominem attacks. But sure, those are your “arguments”.
- Comment on Monopoly 7 months ago:
Stop deflecting and stop trying to gaslight me. If prisons are the same as jails then why dispute? Why even bring it up? You’re retroactively trying to save face.
I am fully aware how prisons and jails are similar and how they are different. You’re the one who was trying to correct somebody and then got downvotes to oblivion.
- Comment on Monopoly 7 months ago:
I don’t have to distract with cheap ad-hominem attacks when I can quote your words right back to you:
Prison. Not jail.
Jails are temporary holding areas until you get to see a judge. Which means you could still be innocent at that point.
- Comment on Monopoly 7 months ago:
Yep. That’s the right definition. Not what you said.
- Comment on Monopoly 7 months ago:
You should read what you link to:
Jail and prison are often used interchangeably as places of confinement. If you want to be specific jail can be used to describe a place for those awaiting trial or held for minor crimes, whereas prison describes a place for criminals convicted of serious crimes.

- Comment on "Hey Google, find the nearest Burger King" - "Sure, here is one on the other side of the globe!" 11 months ago:
Different locations can have different CPC (cost-per-click) bid configured. Even if you have multiple locations of a business, it’s still managed per site. Different areas also have different CPC rates depending on who is around that location (not including your own businesses). For example, a metropolitan CPC rate is higher than a rural one because so many others compete with you.
That 25 minute one is near a bunch of other stores and I’d bet has a higher CPC rate. The 2 minute one is more isolated.
I checked and that all have about the same rating (3.5), so it shouldn’t have been ranked by that. In the end, Google isn’t picking what’s best for the consumer, and enough to encourage me to go 20 minutes extra out of my way. Them being all the same franchise helps clarify it isn’t an issue of finding a better search term match since they’re all identically labeled the same.

Same for me.
- 19 minutes detour
- 4 minutes detour
- 25 minutes detour
- 2 minutes detour
At this point, I’m convinced Google only cares about presenting what’s most profitable to them rather regardless of any sort of to the consumer.
It’s too far gone for it to be even usable.
