Theres also converters that will add scan lines in, making hdmi look like old crt television.
Scan lines alone are not enough, but good shaders can come close:

- Comment on You should know how to coil cables 1 week ago:
FWIW, I don’t find that video convincing of anything, because it’s too difficult to see what the cable is doing, especially with respect to twist as it gets coiled.
- Comment on You should know how to coil cables 1 week ago:
If you find “over/under” confusing, that’s probably because it’s arguably misleading terminology.
You might find it more intuitive to think of this as “outside/inside”, meaning that each new loop is made by bringing the free end up to your hand either outside (away from the already coiled cable) or inside (between the already coiled cable and itself) as it forms the new loop.

How about Skyrim with a bunch of heavyweight ENB effects?
- Comment on Why do some gamers invert their controls? Scientists now have answers, but they’re not what you think 3 weeks ago:
To be clear, this only concerns one axis of one analog stick. None of the other axes or buttons are affected, so calling it “inverting the controls” is a poor description to begin with.
This is nothing more than standard flight stick configuration. If you were to hold your game controller up in front of your face, with the handles pointing downward and the sticks pointing at your eyes, then flight controls might seem like the Y axis is inverted, because you would have to push the stick up to aim down. But if you hold the controller parallel to the floor, with the sticks pointing toward the sky like those on an airplane, then you push forward to aim down, just as humans lean forward to look down. Likewise, you pull back to aim up, just as we lean back to look up. It’s very sensible.

- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? 1 month ago:
You can replay any game, of course, but Clair Obscur’s gameplay is mostly on rails with basic JRPG combat repeated over and over again, so I wouldn’t bother. (Honestly, I found the gameplay boring within a dozen hours or so.) Its music is where it really shines. You could buy the soundtrack alone for a fraction of the price.
BG3’s atmosphere is good. The soundtrack IMHO less inspired than Larian’s previous soundtrack and not really outstanding like the one in Clair Obsucr, but still decent. And as a game, BG3 has a lot more to offer.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? 1 month ago:
For interesting game mechanics and replay value: Baldur’s Gate 3.
For beautiful music and scenery: Expedition 33.
If I had to choose, it would be BG3.

Finally, you say?
To emphasize that bugs in implementations of floating point arithmetic are far from rare, we mention that the Calculator application in Microsoft Windows 3.1 evaluates f[(2.01 - 2.00) = 0.0.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 studio Unknown Worlds are now suing their former execs for stealing docs and sharing them with the press 1 month ago:
As PCGamer’s Andy Chalk suggests, the suspicion is that the lawyers have picked Unknown Worlds as plaintiff, rather than Krafton, because they think they’ll get more sympathy that way from Johnny Average Gamer.
For good reason. Many of us had never heard of Krafton until we learned about them avoiding payment of the bonuses they promised to the people actually making the game.

- Comment on Red Dead Redemption 2 was amazing. 2 months ago:
I haven’t seen that video, but I suspect I would agree. RDR2 is something of a paradox.
They did an amazing job on environments and characters, and then turned around and hobbled the game with bizarre PC controls, a save game system and unskippable cut scenes woven from pure contempt for the player’s time, and dog shit mission mechanics that punish the player for any attempt to exercise agency and really have no place in an open world game.
