  • I wouldn’t use my Amiga, ST, ZX Spectrum or Mega drive on anything other than my CRT. They were designed for that pixel blur and playing on a modern TV is just not the same. I hadn’t realised the difference it made until i tried it and now I can never go back to using an LCD for any of my 80s/90s devices.

    However, beyond that somewhat niche use, CRTs are otherwise entirely pointless and basically a worse display experience in every concievable way when your source is anything produced after the advent of HDMI/Display Port.


  • I have gout, which runs in my family (but I doubt the 90s pints helped). Therefore I was eating Ibuprofen like skittles for way too long to take the pain away. I finally relented and got on the meds after the diet and exercise didn’t fix it. Now I never take ibuprofen, and it makes me worry about how much damage I did to my organs and stomach lining while I was using it.
