Fuck it, there’s enough PS1 games to keep me happy, and retro acheivments. I’m set.


Yeah, I have a few games like that. That means they’re DRM free. The issue with Steam is not that it forces all games on it to have DRM, but that is doesn’t make games that DON’T have DRM easy to identify.


At least the terrible art of before was actual art.


Yeah libertarian I’ve heard before for sure. Mega yikes lol


Ahh I see, thank you


Yeah even of communism was the only objectively correct stance, someone could still believe in other things without loving capitalism. It doesn’t even make sense in that regard.


What’s an ancap? Anticapitalist? Do anticapitalists, who exist outside of and within all left wing ideologies, tend to coopt those labels somehow? I feel like I’m missing something lol


Nothing with Denuvo will ever get my money.


Yes, if we want to get technical, we don’t legally own those games, obviously. However, so long as they are DRM free, we can always install them on whatever hardware we choose, as long as its supported. Thats why people say DRM takes away a player’s ability to “own” their games.


Mandatory fuck AI comment


Kinda like how TERFs don’t like being called TERFs.


Oh fuck yes that sounds awesome, thank you!!


Okay, I see. Thanks for the heads up. Are there any specific scalers I should consider for minimizing latency that you’re aware of?


Doesn’t Matrix also have ties to AI/cryptobro bullshit too?


Right, thank you I’ll try to keep this in mind. What do you mean by the TV supporting it though? Like I said, CRTs have no pixels to the best of my understanding, so how would it be aware of the resolution in order to reject it? I can understand it causing problems, but how exactly can a CRT outright reject a signal like that?


I know, though it is a bit worrying that it was there in the first place


Thankfully, Mint allows me to output in 4:3 aspect ratio. Now, if the actual resolution will still be an issue, then yeah, I suppose I’ll need that. But if I send a converter a ~720p 4:3 signal and it outputs it to composite, what does it matter to the CRT that doesn’t have pixels anyway?
I have no issue with games having their own forums, so long as they aren’t on Discord. Preferably a PieFed community at minimum. Just… Something public and searchable.
