I didn’t think to experiment with the shaders much, so I’ll give that a shot. I briefly tried the cell shading shader, but that looked way too unnatural for me – but it is neat.

(As an aside, I have my original PlayStation 1 and I really want to snag a real CRT at some point for some true nostalgia.)

I played around with upscaling PS1 games in retroarch last night and I was pleasantly surprised. There are some YouTube videos that talk through the process https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6yDWYeuQ2pI

It can breathe new life into some dated looking games. Highly recommend giving it a try

I’d upload a few languages. Instantly being able to speak and read an array of languages and traveling the world would be fun.

Shower thought with no evidence:

Perhaps some big news will come out that distracts us from this soon. It’ll have to be pretty wild to distract us, so buckle up.

Helps increase the pleasure.
