@rem Totally not what you asked, but how did you rate “Spirited”?

More than the 6.6/10 IMDB gave it?

@mgdm Or, in my case, giving me something that half my geeky friends are obsessed with that I can quite happily ignore until they all get bored of it... 🤣

PS, still on for Dinner next week? x

[@[email protected] D. Rimron-Soutter ♥️💛💚💙 @Xalior]

@mgdm Nope, something we've been bitching about for years now.

Happy Birthday to me. 🎧🎉

@gordonjcp And now you understand the Internet.

Or don’t.

I’m confused, and going for a lie down…

@gordonjcp Culture/Personality Cults?

You offer a stretch goal to run your latest Blu-ray to VHS, then rip that and sell the rips!

Not gonna lie, I don’t understand people any more, but apparently this was desirable enough that several of my online chums backed the project for this…

@mdf200 The tech *is* different, yes, but the difference that exposes is different when the input doesn’t match the intended output.

I say this as a person with a Next, who uses it on a PAL CRT, a 1024XVGA monitor, and an Iiyama Pro 1600x1200 panel.

The TV looks much better than XSVGA!

@mdf200 But is based on the native resolution of the shadow mask in the display! So if you use a high res CRT with a low resolution input the actual dimensions of the “blending” and “blur” decrease to a tiny proportion of, say, PAL res on a PAL screen, leaving a digitalesque clarity

@gordonjcp Transferring video off the computer to VHS.

@mdf200 (Okay, 1024 is XVGA, I typoed, get over it)

[@[email protected] D. Rimron-Soutter ♥️💛💚💙 @Xalior]

@mdf200 Why do people say “CRT” like they’re all identical?

The dot resolution is a HUGE factor here, put a next on a 1024x768 SVGA CRT and it’s almost the same as HDMI, the native resolution of the output, bs the native resolution of the display is so important for how blending works

@mgdm We have *three* of them. And they only contain shoes. No LEDs. No records. No retro computers. No 1990s kids toys.

Fuck, I think we’re old now.

@gordonjcp You kid yourself, Ashens is doing this for a fucking Kickstarter…

@benthorp @jonobacon The C128 was a flawed design from the beginning, and - as controversial as it seems - I never liked the SID audio.

[@[email protected] D. Rimron-Soutter ♥️💛💚💙 @Xalior]

@steve_parkes Indeed!

@mdf200 And every venue has the right to express solidarity or preference by denying a performer the business to perform there. It’s not a right to be given promotion, and a stage, etc. there’s a subtle difference between “go elsewhere” and “cancelled”.
