absolutely fascinated by this raw pixels on an emulator vs how the game was actually supposed to look on old tvs twitter

People say that old games dont look as good as they remember

Its because they legitimately dont.

The “fuzz” from CRT monitors was something that was definitely accounted for and taken advantage of back in the day when it came to video games! While this effect is noticeable in 3D games, it’s MUCH more visible when it comes to 2D sprites:

Just look how much more depth these simple sprites of Princess Peach and Bowser from Super Mario RPG seem to have when seen through the “dots” of a CRT TV screen!

nothing is funnier than people complaining that extremely political video games “get political” once they add a gay character or something.

Or when they drastically misinterpret the political message

“how dare you say fallout suggests anything more than communism sucks”

“fallout says communism sucks” is the most hilariously inaccurate interpretation of the game

People on here know its possible to spread content warnings about stuff with infantilizing or talking down to people right?

Like the DDLC post that’s going around is honestly really insulting, I have delusions and hallucinations and enjoy horror games, and played and enjoyed DDLC. Psychotic and otherwise mentally ill people aren’t children and we can in fact enjoy horror.

If you want to actually help someone figure out if the game is safe for them you need to list off what actually happens. So here are tigger warnings for Doki Doki Literature Club

  • Suicide and mental illness shown/discussed in detail
  • Graphic violence and murder
  • The game reads your computer files in order to talk directly to the player using info from them
  • The idea that everything is a simulation/ you are trapped in a simulation
  • Gaslighting
  • Child abuse and neglect
  • Bullying
  • Emotional abuse
  • Betrayal by friends/someone close

If any of these are a trigger for you I highly recommend being careful about if you chose to play and what kind of headspace you’re in if you do.

I played it and I deal with simulation based delusions and while it was intense I knew not to play it if I wasn’t in a good headspace and genuinely enjoyed it.
