Even with a small library of 100 games I wouldn't want to handle data on a phone. Games have so many different attributes tied to them that even thinking about going through them on a tiny phone screen feels like a type of hell described in Dante's unreleased poems.

Finished playing Elden Ring DLC. Started going through Kenshi in Japanese and continued MH Stories (in Japaneseas well).

I don't even see the optimising problem as bad probably because I'm used to it. Evil Within for example ran terribly on launch but since then I have upgraded my setup and played through it. Checking the benchmarks just is something you should do on PC. Reviewers usually are pretty out of touch with rest of the world or average gamer just doesn't care about drops and sub 30 framerates.

I feel like a worse problem currently is how games are made with TAA in mind or with forced TAA so you just can't make them look good even with time and more powerful hardware. It's either blurry mess with artifacts thrown in or something that doesn't even look like 1080p on 4K resolution.

Sure it wastes your resources but the devs don't need to do much so it speeds up their workflow. You are a sacrifice they are willing to make.

My favorite overall is Black Flag but it's not really an AC game so Brotherhood. AC really died with Desmond

I wouldn't even consider a headset that has under 120hz refresh. Huge downgrade

The meat certainly was elsewhere and you even got punished for clearing the main quest early. I've always loved the Daedric prince quests as they are all kind of wacky and Dark Brotherhood is pretty good. Best thing about Oblivion has to be Shivering Isles though and I will fight anyone who dares to say otherwise.

Cat?

That looks bad sure but I wouldn't look at that closely anyway and the filtered one looks even worse. I have played that game without any filters and I didn't get any urges to use any. I have also played it on CRT but there wasn't any choice back then.

That's not better. That's more accurate. Is preference really this foreign of a concept to you?

There is no "looks objectively better" since it's a subjective thing. I've seen those examples multiple times and they look as blurry as ever.

What makes you push this tech to these limits?

I said that it doesn't matter. Only the end result does. There is no game I would play on a CRT simply because it looks worse. It's not an objective fact but my preference. I don't care how you are trying achieve the "CRT look" since it looks like shit and I don't want to see it.
