CRT shaders rule, looking at the github it seems like it uses RetroArch's shaders. I remember using CRT Royale along with GTU for NTSC-style blurring in a ReShade pack on a bunch of emulators a few years back. I was able to tune it pretty close to how I remember my childhood bedroom TV being.

Makes it even more insane this one's yet to die. It's well over 7 years old at this point lmao
Think I might be gambling on some Amazon certified refurbs because my ass is too broke to be paying $35 a TB in 2025.

Had a productive day today. Worked an 8 hour shift, built the Qube for my server PC (it's a bigger case that I expected but it's also solid steel and mounts 4 HDDs so good enough) and installed Arch on my new Thinkpad (currently no DE just the terminal I'll do that tomorrow.)

It finally came in! Ain't she a beaut? Gonna be an absolute joy to build in soon. This is gonna be the case for my NAS/Homelab that's been running open air on a cardboard box the last half year. The modularity means it can fit a ton of HDDs and at $65 was an absolute steal!

Can't get a job with my stupid fucking degree but at least it's still useful for little hobby projects. I've been using a spreadsheet to track calories while on my diet but the mobile UI for sheets is abysmal dogshit so instead I spent 2 days building a discord bot that can access the sheets API!

I finally won a Shadowverse Evolve local with this dumbass brew I built! Ngl it feels good to win and not with a netdeck. Idk if a single human on all of bsky even plays SVE but the win felt worth sharing lol

I only took one pic because I was too busy being hype and having fun but I would rate WrestleDream a solid 8.5/10 with the Brodido and Mark Briscoe both having 5/5 matches. Also as someone who refell in love with wrestling in large part because of Jurassic Express. God I'm glad they are back.

I've been recently getting into the Digimon Cybersleuth games because I've had them forever and decided I wouldn't play Time Stranger until I beat the ones I already owned.

What are some multi entry video game franchises that are more-or-less totally dead but still deserve a spotlight in today’s age?
Just a few years ago Armored Core would have been on this list. Thank god FromSoft remembered it exists so instead it's all JRPGs!

Don't mind me, I'm just thinking about the under appreciated masterpiece Bokurano Ours (2003) by Mohiro Kitoh and how Zearth is a masterclass in ominous ass mech design. Sleek but bulky carapace with sharp edges everywhere. I think it'd make for a sick tattoo some day.

Home from Chicago, I'm so tired. Went 3-4, we'll never know if it could have been 4-3 because I had to give my deck back and drop out (my cards didn't make it in time).
Also tried Chunithm for the first time! Super fun!

Almost the exact same take I had (specifically the fact on SFL JP is salaried, I know EU and NA get a small appearance fee per season.)
