gotta enable the scan lines and put it at 144hz and it’s so worth it

those indie games that try to look retro really shine once you have on those scan lines and they’re so snappy on a 144hz CRT

i was kind of put off from that style because pixel art isn’t interesting to me (seems like a relic that’s just simple and lazy to do) but once you have a set up where the game could fool you into actually being old school it’s like a blast from past and they’re actually better than the real classics

Didn't even know CRTs supported 144hz.

Do you just enable this in the service menu or gotta mod the board?

it’s called interlacing; both windows and gnu/linux support it natively. Just turn it on in the OS through the display adapter settings or the console and the monitor will automatically be switched to double its refresh rate but you get those old school scanlines
