Why do people like crt shaders in the retroarch community. There's so many videos about it. Is it a product of their time or are non-crt experiencers doing it? - eviltoast

@nostupidquestions Why do people like crt shaders in the retroarch community. There’s so many videos about it. Is it a product of their time or are non-crt experiencers doing it?
Maybe it’s a way for their smoothening upscaling shaders to look more pixelated and retro?

    I disagree. I emulate a lot, and the CRT stuff makes them look worse to me. Just adds noise to the image.

      Either you are doing the shaders wrong and messing up the image, or you may need to have your vision checked…the CRT images are vastly superior to the non-crt ones. There really just isn’t any other possible take on this, I’m sorry.

        I disagree, and the second image (which is reversed vs the others) doesn’t look any better. It’s just as bad in it’s own way.

            You’re absolutely right. I think everyone in this thread has glaucoma or something.

                Did you come up with that edgy reply all by yourself or did you utilize ChatGPT for that snarky comment?

                  No idea how to respond to this, so I decided to try your suggestion, and honestly, it’s worse.

                  In all honesty, my garbage replies come naturally.
