The pizza hut/arbys is clearly a metaphor for trans people, but I have never seen a real, conservative flip the fuck out just because someone used the person's preferred pronouns. Most people are really moderate in reality. A strawman is when a group creates personified stereotype that they can pin their problems on to have something to be angry about.

That said.

TRANS RIGHTS

^This. Absolute straw man and i’m not even a conservative. Fight for rights without ostracizing people you don’t agree with.

Looks amazing! I have to get one sometime, the screen quality is amazing!

 

Absolute nightmare. Not just leaking batteries but several components had to be replaced on the front. Ridiculous amounts of contact cleaner in the card slot. Copper plate ground so corroded I could peel it off like wet toilet paper. Removed it and soldered all the contacts together. Bought for 5 bucks, only took about an hour to fix.

Holy jeepers! 12 grand usd for a game! Never grew up around these but they’re the only games I emulate seeing how it’s 400usd for a aes everdrive and 1.2k for a console (in bad condition). The games really are beautiful though. Fatal fury has some of my favorite pixel art to date!

 

Particularly the AES, but if you had other experiences, share them below!

Good stuff!

My search terms are typically “tube tv” or “old tv” but I live near a major city so most people know what they’re selling. I've done a few gamecube picoboots that are way harder but like I said I might try on my POS sharp tv!

Thanks for the quick and helpful replies, I hope other people learn things from this thread too!

oh yeah, I've got instructions for it, a BA-5 is pretty easy. But I'm terrified of messing it up because it’s the only trinitron in my area that's a reasonable price (300 for a kv-20fs120?!) and I'm a little out of my depth here. But I had no idea about BNC connectors, so thanks on that. Maybe I'll start on my cheapo sharp crt and work my way up. You seem super knowledgeable, and thanks for the help!

Good stuff, especially sonic triple trouble. Working on a recap now

God I need a Scart modded crt so bad but I'm so scared of breaking the trinitron (I've got the experience but I always second-guess myself and end up ruining it). Anyone have experience with the retroTINK rgb2comp?

Easily New Vegas and Interplay fallouts (excluding tactics ofc). Put an easy 150 into FO4 but New Vegas really isn’t overrated, and 1/2 are amazing with the sheer desolation and creepiness factor. Love those games, probably played NV a dozen times by now

 

Who here loves to solder? I've already done 2 mods for friends and a few custom paint jobs.
