Big Bang Theory, in retrospect, was alright. Sheldon was an ass most of the time, and while that could be funny when he acted like that towards his friends, that personality trait stood out like a sore thumb as he got into a relationship.
bold echo
God I can't stand that show lol. My family watches it and I swear there's a laugh track like every 3 seconds at shit that doesn't call for it. But I have a very low tolerance for laugh tracks to begin with.
bold echo
Tin foil hat time: My belief is that they only use laugh tracks because sitcom writers know that they're not funny enough to hold an audience on their own, so they need to tell us when to laugh which tricks us into thinking that their boring jokes are funny.
They're trying to exploit the whole "laughter is contagious" thing
strange tiger
well it doesn’t work on me, unless their intent is to anger me
bold echo
There's videos on YouTube that remove the laugh tracks from Big Bang Theory, and shits just depressing. Removing the laugh track just turns all the roommates into sarcastic assholes that really seem to hate each other.

It makes everything really awkward because they still wait for the laugh track before they continue talking, so after each sentence there's just an uncomfortable silence

Basically the category of games where to win you basically had to be in on quite a few references and inside jokes you would have no way of knowing

even pausing games was a novelty in those days, hardly ever saw it
reef cobalt
Hell you couldnt even just leave them running because the image would burn into your monitor or something
devout cedar
A lot of NES games were "one-sitting"
jovial marsh
Ah so thats why there are a good bit of them
lusty spruce
at the end of a level you were given password
jovial marsh
Ohhh so u put the password for a level
brazen basalt
short answer, the password was translated through a parser that basically kicked off from a kind of save state
lusty spruce
by typing it in the main menu you are "teleported " to that level
reef cobalt
Basically each level had an associated password you could put in to skip to it
brazen basalt
so the right password would tell the game to run 'Start from Level X like completing the previous stage, or similar
brazen basalt
some had more complex password parsing (Metroid comes to mind), but most didnt get that granular
brave elk
Did you have a piece of paper with all the codes on it? Primitive saving at its finest.

who didnt XD

jovial marsh
Were the passwords different for each copy of a given game or was it universal
reef cobalt
Universal
reef cobalt
It was coded into the game itself
brazen basalt
like i said it was translated through parser, basically
game took the "password" and ran it as code that it understood, provided you put in one that it recognized the format of
lusty spruce
Were the passwords different for each copy of a given game or was it universal
the only way of knowing the code before passing the level was a friend that passed them before you
jovial marsh
Yea just wanted to know if you could like ask ur friend to get to like the good parts
if they did already
reef cobalt
You totally could
brazen basalt
yea that was common. lot of game magazines (physical ones) had sections with passwords in em
or hintbooks
reef cobalt
Hell, today the password lists are easily accessible online if you really wanted to skip to a spot

Corona shot the prices up for retro media because nostalgia and collectors

Sweeet ozone mhmm

strange tiger
“a bit”
jovial marsh
Get the lead blankets kids we are watching on the CRT tv
devout cedar
I've felt static shock, but I don't remember smelling ozone or hearing a whine
brazen basalt
i mean its a bit hyperbolic to get upset over radioactive TVs. Bananas are radioactive too, no one complains about that :p
jovial marsh
I dont mind even unsafe levels

My current CRT and my old one were Emerson brand.. maybe that has something to do with it

strange tiger
did you know crt has built in msaa
devout cedar
I got rid of it because it had no S-Video
brazen basalt
or those stupid boxes with the C-shaped hooks you had to screw onto the antenna
strange tiger
except it works on hardware level aka you don’t lose fps
jovial marsh
Does the fresnel lens do that
strange tiger
idk
brazen basalt
@strange tiger that's not MSAA, that's CRT having basically no fidelity to speak of 😛
jovial marsh
Do those have fresnel lens in them
brazen basalt
crt was fuzzy
devout cedar
My current CRT is one of those DTV-ready models.. so if I ever get an antenna one day..
brazen basalt
wont matter, no tv stations broadcast via airwaves anymore
only thing youll get is static, and possibly Ring-style ghosts

There are digital antennas you put on the wall

Cable/satellite TV doesn't have the same allure anymore, considering that I don't watch Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon anymore
brazen basalt
tv today sucks lol
sick bloom
Yes
strange tiger
you pay for tv and get a fuck tonn of ads
jovial marsh

Ok that doesn’t mean everyone has to have it done to them just because.
It’s literally non consensual amputation of a body part. I’m surprised it’s still legal.

Gravity gun is the best part of HL2
