Im a newbie like you and a teenager so take everything I say with a grain of salt. The only monitor I own is the fw900 and I got it for 17 bucks. I have seen normal crt tvs too though. Based on my experience... go for the tv. The monitors are too clear and sharp for retro gaming and games often look better on consumer set crts too. The best use case I found was playing shmups and some indie games, katana zero in particular looks gorgeous and watching old anime like cowboy bebop. But the monitor is not in any way worth 1000s of dollars and is over valued in my opinion. But hey, teenager with only one monitor so grain of salt.
I love it because there’s something about the music and sound effect that’s like crack to my ears. I like the way it looks too. And if you know what to do, it isn’t ALL that hard (as NES games go): people just play it wrong.
I mean its just a generic ass country song. It's only a replacement for low effort music which is enough for some people but the majority of people are still going to gravitate towards songs that have a shred of creativity
99+ percent of music made is not a creative breakthrough or a masterpiece. Even Stevie Wonder went through a period of writing 5 songs a day and threw most of them out. If an app can replace 99% of music, it’s a big deal.
I had to stop playing Xenoblade Chronicles X because I had a visceral reaction of extreme disgust to the English voice of the potato character. I was actually having fun before that.
This is the set I had in my late teens/early 20's, and the last CRT I ever got during the time when they were still in stores. Great memories of Ps1 and PS2 via s-video and Xbox games and DVD's via component video. I had no idea at the time that this set was considered really good, or those games wouldn't look this good again from the time I got rid of it until 2019 when I finally found a PVM.
1954Q. It's a different look, really nice but I got it for free and at today's prices, if I didn't have one, I think I would be happy to just enjoy a set like yours that's larger and more immersive, and better for split screen multiplayer. It's basically a D-series with smaller speakers. (Is the composite filter the same? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!) I still think I might pick one up if I ever come across one locally for a good price.
Awkward AF. . . I have such strong confusion over the past few years with all this pedo shit coming out time and time again. When I was a kid, we knew they existed, but now I have to wrap my brain around the concept that they exist in mass and have crews of people around them to aid them in their disgusting shit. I don't know what to think anymore. I'm a man. . . so if I somehow stumble into a shitload of money and power, am I suddenly going to want to rape children? I can't understand how I live on a planet full of fucking perverted rapists who aren't stomped out of existence.
I get what you're saying, but it's more disturbing than that: it not just about money or power. At every level of society, these people find allies to enable their behavior and protect their secret. It's a shockingly common open secret among family, close friends, or groups of professional insiders within organizations like the Church, Hollywood, etc. The vast majority of the enablers don't approve of or encourage the behavior. Often they either choose not to believe it happened, or it won't happen again, or otherwise isn't worth "ruining someone's life over". Slowly, over years, the elephant in the room becomes a permanent resident, and in the worst cases, an invited guest.
I was lucky. When I first got into synths around 2002, the nearest Guitar Center to me was in Arlington TX off I-30 and Collins, and they had a manager who always got THE GOOD STUFF. Minimoog Voyager, Alesis Andromeda, OB-12, Waldorf Q, Novation K-station, Nord Lead 2-3, Korg MS-2000R, Access Virus C, Roland JP-8080. Good used stuff too- I got a mint Juno-106 with the original hard case for around 350. They also once got an Arp 2600 which I think was $10,000 and kept in a showcase.
I don't think most of these are too bad, but it gets much worse: In the Summer Game Fest 2023 trailer, Bugenhagen says in English at 1:08 "The lifestream: It is the very essence of our star."
Traditional VR is probably not the future, but AR that can also do VR absolutely is. In possibly 20 to 30 years we'll have something like Apple Vision Pro, but much better, in a form factor the size of sunglasses, and reasonably priced. People can choose to play the same game on a non existent virtual screen on a wall in the same room and still see each other, or go full immersive if they aren't prone to motion sickness. Alternatively they can have the experience of couch co-op but in real life be sitting on different couches in different countries. Those LARP people out in the woods will see each other in armor and visibly firing off spells, with real life airplanes and power lines replaced by castles and flying dragons. Of course there will be even more non-gaming application: driving directions you never have to look down at, virtual name tags that make social interaction less awkward, DIY plumbing or appliance repair with a visual overlay on your own pipes that even confirms whether or not you did it correctly.
There are honestly very little of those and I honestly would rather have quick load screens and they spend the money to make the game better or give general employees a bonus. In engine cutscenes are definitely good enough.
That real hair and dense grass and ray traced materia looked really nice though! I don’t know if PS6 will quite get us there, but I’d love to see an intergrade style visual overhaul for next gen with sharper textures, colorful ray traced lighting, and longer draw distances. Overall game looked great, amazing artists at Square.
But the Persona 3-4-5 team has been working on Metaphor Refantazio- does that mean a different studio took on 6? And does THAT mean MR is the REAL Persona 6?
The pacing of the original game was fantastic. It was a whirlwind world tour. I have enjoyed diving deeper into the world and characters, but some of what they have added for the new games feels like a Rube Goldberg machine. Rather than going from A straight to Z, you now have to do all the letters in between in a way that doesn't always feel natural or necessary. It doesn't bother me enough to stop me from enjoying the game, but for those it does, I'd say- try playing the original game's PC port with mods. New script translation, insane graphics enhancements, widescreen, it's amazing too!
I'm 53 hours in I think it's pretty good so far. My only complaint besides the graphics and the quality of some of these minigames would the design of the moogles.
I literally had to pause the game and look up a picture of a Moogle when I first saw one because I knew something was just off and needed a reference. FFXVI Moogle looked fine, they didn’t need to redesign for realism in this game either.

Standard definition televisions are not good for PC gaming

Yeah, it's one of the best NES soundtracks of all time.

I love that almost every answer is different. As many ways to make music as there are musicians.
I hope they don’t make a third Ableton Live. I’m still trying to learn Bitwig properly!

That's awesome, the component does look really good I watched a few DVDs already myself. Which PVM did you end up getting?

Try watching it with the sound off- the editing is pretty nice!

Can you get good enough deals at these kinds of events to be worth the price of admission or is it more about the fun experience/atmosphere?
Is he the guy who edits those Youtube tutorial videos that are narrated by Christopher Walken?
The Gamestop sticker though! XD

Resident Evil is about open house, not open world.
USA’s intelligence is beyond insane.
Unless they're warning you that Iraq has WMDs.

With Toriyama’s death I think that ship has definitively sailed
Nobuteru Yuki is still alive!

If you didn't like Xenogears by the halfway point it's just not for you, no matter how much others like it.
The real question is how long before the in-game graphics look as good as the pre-rendered cutscenes in Remake/Rebirth?
There are honestly very little of those and I honestly would rather have quick load screens and they spend the money to make the game better or give general employees a bonus. In engine cutscenes are definitely good enough.

What it most likely is MR was leftover stuff they tried for 6. The development time is so long they most likely had enough extra that this entire game
I know about "most likely" but certainly possible. Something like how an early pitch for Final Fantasy VII evolved into Xenogears.
Can someone explain how that stays on? Like some kind of skin glue similar to prosthetics?
