The cable gore clump makes me physically uneasy

Why not both? Both is fine. Why are we gatekeeping retrogaming again?

Gatekeeping retrogaming is a big L.

When I'm at home sitting around thousands of dollars of gaming hardware, I'm going to use that.

When I'm out and about with less processing power, then I retro game.

I play games for the games. I might have a preference on the type of TV and shit, but that's all personal preference. If the game is good, it's good on either one.

I prefer handhelds by far. I have a family and it is easier to get everyone in the same room with handhelds than it is with the TV being monopolized.

Yeah, baby. And a computer heavy enough to use as a weapon.

Why are Beavis and Butthead going through chemo?

Porque no Los dos

^eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee^

Handhelds rule as does CRTs

Both? Both is good

The dream is a handheld that can output 240p. Preferably with the ability to easily output it via HDMI so I can use an HDMI to Component adapter instead of Composite like most handhelds that do have support for TV Out do.

I played the hell out of the first few B&B games

¿Por qué no los dos?

Modern emu handhelds*

I had a CRT for a while, I have a bunch of systmes i've been collecting since I was a kid. Atari 2600, NES, SNES, N64, GC, Wii, Xbox... but I got rid of the CRT because honeslty its way more of a pain to go to the basement, find the game i want and play. Sure its way more authentic but I can just grab my Retroid Pocket 2+ and play all those games and thousands more in seconds.

Shaders are lighter.

I'd love to be able to afford that kind of setup, but these days somehow it's more affordable to get a handheld than going through the trouble buying the real deal lmao. Getting just a handheld alone would be cheaper than going through the trouble getting a retro setup going. People are asking for way too much for these games that half the time aren't even working. Also I wouldn't want to deal with the potential safety hazard if the CRT breaks,.

Nah, handhelds/portables are fine. Awesome way to play old games.

I recently bought an old 13 inch Commodore CRT and it's just amazing. I can never go back to playing Amiga games on a LCD screen.

My morning bleary eyes read “false CRT” instead of “fatso CRT” and I spent a while being blown away that they made a LED display that accurately and convincingly simulated a CRT. Now I fee let down :)

That Grundig tells me you‘re German. When we gonna play?

What about portable CRTs?

What you need is a proper TV stand lol

What will you do when that entire thing tips and crushes you under it?

Not a Trinitron. Thread does not deliver.
