Lug around an ancient, bulky, heavy, obsolete, actual progressive scan CRT for maximum tradition. Bonus points if it has a built-in VCR.

Reject volatile tradition, embrace modernity: ~/Games/ROMs/Nintendo 64/

Yeah, lol. I don't need a huge stack of game discs and cartridges when I can have a folder full of roms on my computer, with good backups.

Best of both worlds, really. The convenience of not needing physical media, the permanence of having it (maybe even more permanence, since files with good backups should last longer than physical media would -- potentially forever).

And then there's the extra bonus of emulation allowing me to make various improvements -- running old games in widescreen with higher resolution, for example. Or using AR/Gecko codes to implement some quality of life features in old games that could really use them.

Oddly enough, I read this while wearing an N64 shirt.
