subtoot 

must resist autistic urge to info dump on why balatro's crt effect is painfully inaccurate......

re: subtoot 

@holly i believe that there will one day be an accurate CRT filter. or maybe that one is even out there. but i've never seen it

re: subtoot 

@monorail there's plenty of pretty good ones out there. geom, hyllian, easymode, guest to name a few.

re: subtoot 

@monorail yeah like... the problem is that most games that implement a crt effect go WAY TOO HARD on it with pointless stuff like curvature and the like. or the ultimate crime: scanlines that dont' line up with the actual horizontal lines of resolution

re: subtoot 

@holly yeah lmao

i know that most CRTs are curved. i know that some CRTs (mostly older ones i think?) are very curved. but holy shit you do not need to fisheye the whole game about it

re: subtoot 

@monorail @holly The fisheye effect bugs the shit out of me

Granted it's been a long time since I used a CRT but I do not remember the picture looked very roundy at all on them even with the screen itself being roundy

re: subtoot 

@coriander @monorail @holly but Consumer Reports would always rank CRTs highest based on picture quality so you are Objectively Wrong

re: subtoot 

@monorail @wallhackio @holly evergreen response to caleb posts tbh

re: subtoot 

@monorail @coriander @holly there was a magazine that my parents subscribed to when aescling and I were kids called Consumer Reports. They were famous for reviewing cars and home appliances.

because of Autism we both loved the arrays of scores for different appliances

re: subtoot 

@wallhackio @coriander @holly i am familiar with consumer reports i just don't know what coriander said that was wrong :P

re: subtoot 

@monorail @wallhackio @holly I assume he's implying there were CRTs out there that did have a noticable fisheye effect

re: subtoot 

@monorail @coriander @holly oh lmao. Cori said that CRTs had a terrible fisheye effect but I reminded them of the Objective Truth that consumer reports would consistently rank CRT televisions the highest based on picture quality so the fisheye effect couldn't be that bad if consumer reports didn't mind

re: subtoot 

@wallhackio @coriander @holly :objection:

cori said that shitty crt filters in emulators and whatever have terrible fisheye effects, and CRTs don't

re: subtoot 

@monorail @wallhackio @holly -from the witness stand- She's right

re: subtoot 

@wallhackio @coriander @holly god i wish that, just once, ane ace attorney prosecutor dropped an f-bomb

aa6 got rated M anyway, they could have gone for it
