    She’s onto something. CRT displays and VHS recordings are very imperfect in the best way; they lie to us so sweetly. There’s a lot of production mistakes and fakery that is really hard to spot with old tech. These things stand out in ways unforeseen on digital remasters all the time - it kind of kills the magic of it all, really.

      CRT displays with old pixel art are something I taught her about very early on. Scanlines made things look different; and art looked better on CRTs because they were designed with them in mind.
