I implore you to read the Rules, even if you may have used a version of this site before. I am aware that this software blows in its current state. Expect gradual fixes to functions such as motion picture posting. In the mean time, upload any files you are incapable of posting on the Uploader instead
While such technologies as record players and analog cameras are still being produced, these are quite simple devices compared to a CRT. With such a complex assembly line, manufacturing CRTs of a decent quality could only ever be profitable of a LOT of units are being sold each day, more than the demand could ever hope to approach. It is even possible that some of the techniques have been lost, with companies shutting down their CRT departments and having no reason to carefully archive all of the associated files.It is possible that some billionaire could fund their revival, however I also find this unlikely. There will always be some CRTs left in the hands of collectors, at least during the lifetimes of anyone who grew up with them, so such an individual would have no problem obtaining one. Reviving the CRT industry would be purely an act of charity then; a very expensive one, and one that few would appreciate.Furthermore, one does not become rich by dwelling on the past.I don't think it could ever happen, and considering the fact that fully functional CRTs are still being bought up by "electronics recycling" centers to be scrapped for parts, or simply thrown away by people who don't know any better, I think we are quickly approaching a point where the last CRTs remaining will be in the hands of collectors. Perhaps there is need for a CRT Preservation Society, to buy CRTs in bulk from electronics recycling centers and E-waste facilities and store them away for future generations. While a large investment itself, it would still be far more viable than trying to make new ones.I don't have any hope for that happening either however, at least not until it's far too late, so for now I am just hoarding as many CRT monitors as my NEET budget can afford
>>1321If you're willing to make the drive, just about anything that's too heavy for an old lady to lift can be acquired at the cost of gas, an afternoon, and a conversation. Most people are impatient. "I know what I've got" becomes "FREE TV - PICKUP REQUIRED" if they go too long without some shmuck taking the bait.
>>1344I've gotten a lot of stuff that way. A lot of times it's businesses wanting to dispose of their 30 year old hardware.
You could probably find someone to make some sort of program to add filters to your display to give the effects of a CRT screen.
>>1363Why in the hell would you do that. I believe the reason for anyone using a CRT is what is said in:>>741 and>>1023What would an emulation help?
>>1365just emulate the lower latency duh
How do you feel about these things? Did you know that there's a Hatsune Miku one?
Does it work like a flute?
They're a fun novelty but I don't think I know anyone who actually used one for more than a week or two.
They're pretty cool. Here's this guy using them in an actual song. 0:55https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDzFn1tIDnU
>>1322Interesting instrument. Also what is this terran theme, I've never heard it before.
>>1338It's from Brood Wars.Technically speaking, it's not meant to be a Terran theme. The original intention for that song was for the United Earth Directorate, back when it was a separate faction rather than just being the second Terran campaign.
When is the last time you went here?
Nostalgia is a wonderful liar, but you can't deny that modern GameStop has a completely different feel to the image posted here.
>>754Last time I went there was around a month or two ago, actually....I remember going there as a kid getting the pokemon games when they came out as a kid for the ds and then 3dsI walked around the store then I asked if they had DS or 3ds games and they looked at me puzzled. They told me that they haven't sold 3ds games for almost 4 years at that and ds games for even longer. Christ, I'm only 20 and I already feel old.
I don't know why they wouldn't sell it anymore. They're cutting out about 1/4th of their customers for no reason, unless it's because the hardware isn't manufactured anymore. But still, it's dumb to sell only the newest stuff and expect customers who know quality to follow.
Isn't buying/selling used games their main business? Why would it matter if it's still being manufactured?
Your supply of one thing can only really go down each year if it's not being constantly restocked by a manufacturer
What is your favorite flower, world2ch? I am partial to red spider lilies myself
ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!
I would say undoubtedly the magnolia, the "magnolia grandiflora" to be specific. They are always so moist, cool, and smell nice. Their trees also offer great shade.
finally some one made a good thread!

Certain poppies are used to create morphine, which is a good painkiller I hear
So I was visiting an old town I used to live near and my dad pointed out this store.Holy shit, this place is a PROPER game store. I highly recommend it if you're ever near Graham Washington. They've even got a tournament room.
>it wasn't JPEG's faultOh, that's new.

I remember when GameStop was like this
You'd go to that store to find something to buy on ebay
>>1280Everything there was cheaper than Ebay.

You could use the gothic halberd umbrella!
>>1301whats ur favourite polearm?>>1305i love that <3 thats so cute
>>1307A kagi yari retains simplicity and effectiveness, unlike a lot of asian polearms. It's thin and long so it would be good for stabbing 1v1
>>1307A longsword is a good choice too.
lain would never such a shitty operating system like windows xp

Anyone like hockey? Game 4 of the Stanley Cup is tonight, with the panthers looking strong against edmonton.
I just got back from watching the World Series of PENIS Fencing championships, it was quite impressive to see the rock-hard resolve of some of the contestants to erect themselves as the greatest PENIS swordfighter in history; the sport is truly climaxing as we speak.

When i was a kid i was interested in kurling (curling?) & bobslayboth ice sports are superior to hockey-dockeyas well as snow-skateboarding/snowsurfing
Curling is probably one of the most boring sports there are. At least with sledding, you get a thrill of almost crashing.
Was always a stars guy, I love hockey fights and hockey is pretty fun to watch
