Examining beauty (in gaming.) Then and Now.

I watched this video and I almost cried a tear:

Something about myth and magic. Magic and mystery that is missing in modern gaming. I feel that LCD was a step backwards for society.

I will give you an example. I have a game called Redout II, it is a modern game, I kind of like it. But the graphics almost give me a heart attack, something about it makes me feel uneasy while playing. Yet every modern gamer will praise the graphics endlessly, that's all they do is praise graphics endlessly, I couldn't even find hardly any videos of gamers complaining about modern graphics at all.

So I feel this is a concept about dimension. Like what if a reality is full of vulgar modern gamers that have minimal taste in art, yet the space is dominated by these uncultured critics. Then its a concept where you are surrounded by everyone around you is saying fire is cold. Then the corporate LCD, LCD monitors everywhere and everyone only programs for LCD monitors, and that's what you got, and the corporate narrative is to use LCD only. Then are you sure of the future, what if every step they take doesn't improve you.

Its like this quote from Matrix 4:

What was the Merovingian ranting about in Matrix: Resurrections?

If you’ve seen Matrix: Resurrections you know that the scene with the Merovingian rant is partially undecipherable. Not only does he rant with a thick French accent, but there’s also a fight going on at the same time. Below is a copy of the closed captioning of his lines. I hope it helps. You...

lmao the nostalgia argument. my bro i thanku for this, i had a reply on the ready for this

i never had a game console when i was younger, i am just able to empathize with the souls of classic gamers, i am able to be transported back to the earlier gaming days. although i did play some retro games when i was younger with other people's consoles, so it doesn't 100% rule out the nostalgia theory.

more proof though that lcd's are indeed a downgrade of art

for example most consumers just buy LCD's even though they have a fading issue where the pixels fade slowly instead of quick updates like crt

get redout II (its on sale) and you'll see what i mean about modern gfx
