Not a problem for me. How about an article on how devs release shittier, messier, harder to use GUIs every goddamn release. I swear its like four buttons to power it off.

3D graphics were incredibly primitive back then. There really weren't "3D processors" as we know them today.
On top of that, CRTs masked many of the weirdest graphical artifacts - the shimmering we see on modern screens was much more of a blur on screens at the time.
It's fun to look back at the PlayStation and the N64, and to see how each of them handled limitations in a different way.
Resident evil for N64 is mind boggling how they were able to shrink it down enough to fit on that tiny rom chip.
This Noodle video on how old games were developed with CRT in mind was absolutely mind-blowing to me.
Yeah, for example when emulating GB/GBC/GBA games, simulating the slow LCD response time makes all the difference. Jittery shaking animations become soft blurs, and everything feels much closer to the authentic hardware
Gimme that wobble and the glow of a CRT and y'all can keep your fancy HD
You could play Belatro and set CRT settings on the graphics. That at least one option somewhere in the void.
It wasn't the CRT giving the PS1 its unique look. It was a lack of floating point integers.
Floating point numbers. Floating point integer is an oxymoron 🤓
Whole numbers don't float? 🤷♂️
Depends on who you ask I guess. 
Which emulator fixes the wobbling and upscale the textures again? The games I've seen in that emulator look great, nearly as good as PS2 games.
Any emulator that supports PGXP, which is most of them. Duckstation is the one most people recommend, but that one has weird licensing issues and a dev who loves to start drama.

I know Duckstation has some wobble-fixing ability.
