I'm old so the photo gives me nostalgia about tech that's (basically) obsolete in people's homes now: VCR, stereo, turntable, cd player, fat back tv...

I seriously wonder how many people have a fat back tv.

I seriously wonder how many people have a fat back tv.

The only ones i know also have an NES and say it doesn't work well with anything newer.

It's a real pain in the ass to get it hooked up to TVs with only HDMI connections. I wish I still had a CRT

Indeed, retro consoles from back in the day look best on tube tvs. But some people like the crisp pixels also so they don't mind playing on an LCD.

I do! One that can display 1080i too B)

Colombo looks fucking AMAZING on it.

Damn, I really hope I can come across a CRT HDTV. They're not very common

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

They are rare, but they are really worth it, I'm also lucky enough for my to have a singular HDMI port. Allows me to run a Pi as a media center.

There’s two VCRs there unless my eyes are just totally fucked. Time to dub some tapes.

Also, I think everyone of a certain age had that AIWA stereo. I know I did.

NVM I think that’s a dvd or Blu-ray player

Besides my melee player friends, nobody.

I have all the items you listed, but it was probably obvious from my username

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I see now. And I guess I shouldn't admit this but I use a white theme and the usernames are very hard to read so I tend to forget all about them.
