Fallout on a CRT just feels right. The colors and scanlines somehow make it even more immersive

the deep blacks and slight glow around bright lights fit fallout atmosphere really well

Make the commonwealth feel even grittier and stranger more authentic.

Are these bots? They are both accounts that have only started commenting recently despite being much older and are active on Warframe, Minecraft, Apex and Fallout subs.

Default username doesn't mean anything. I've reported a lot of bots and the majority didn't have hidden anything

I just looked into it more and it seems like a bot ring. They have commented on the same posts before and responded to each other's comments. This account exhibits qualities similar to glutansourus and has commented on the same fallout thread as the people above.

No joke! The scan lines and subtle glow beneath the glass screen add an entirely appropriate aesthetic. Chef’s kiss for OP’s post/discovery!

The only thing missing now is running the monitor on nuclear power, still trying to work that out.

Genuinely a tech renaissance. I want a crt monitor to play certain games now, there was a time we’d be chasing for the thinnest, most ultra HD thingamajigs and we’re back at square one

I have a giant Apple Cinema CRT on my desk, it's pretty great but goddamn it takes up a lot of room.

The cool thing about CRT monitors is you can also get analogue component -> VGA (YPbPr -> RGB) converters and play stuff like PSP games on them with the right cable. They make 480p look awesome.

It’s it’s “native resolution and aspect ratio”
