As a person that grew up with crts I can assure you that I did not like how crts made things bleed into each other. I always preferred the display to be crisp as in I could see the individual pixels themselves for somefucking reason, donno why I just did. This is the main reason why I look down upon people who use filters and crt hipsters.Beautiful pixel art, like for example in Legend of Kyrandia games, always makes me warm and fuzzy inside.
I also wonder if I'm in the minority when it comes to emulation/DOSboxing - as in I never use any "advanced scalers/shaders" that in my opinion only distort the original. I only use "normal" scalers, which scale pixels in a linear fashion. Take a look here for example and tell me with a straight face that supersai or advmame looks good?
Not sure if you are being sarcastic but in case you aren't - this is exactly what I'm talking about - looks like shit.Beautiful pixel art, like for example in Legend of Kyrandia games, always makes me warm and fuzzy inside.

Sometimes I use hq3x and it works great, like the Quest for Glory 2 remake.
I am perfectly aware how it looked on CRTs (I got my first PC in 1990) and I don't remember such bleeding. And I didn't have a top monitor either (the brand was A-MATIC, lol) - in fact I'm quite sure that CRT is the main culprit I'm wearing glasses today, heh.As a person that grew up with crts I can assure you that I did not like how crts made things bleed into each other.

Maybe I'm thinking of console games instead since those CRT hipsters are just obsessed with CRT tvs as well, and the fact somebody that my family knew gave us an assload of NES games as a kid. Although I can say with confidence I miss the degaussing button on that were on CRT monitors, I liked the spilt second screen distortion and the sound it made as well.I am perfectly aware how it looked on CRTs (I got my first PC in 1990) and I don't remember such bleeding.

Take a look at that ridiculous screenshot above.
Or at this shit:
My choice was to either resurrect this thread or the 2D Art Appreciation thread started in 2014 --- and that one wasn't specifically about pixel art.Is this considered pixel art?

Youngfags will think the game is supposed to look like this. Thanks inx1le.
Anything is better than anything InXile touched.
