That’s true, but I didn’t say that was the native “frame rate” of the TVs, just a very commonly used frame rate at the time. And, at least in my experience, desync’ed frame rate and refresh rate is less of a problem on CRTs than LCDs - you don’t “feel” it as much generally.
Out of curiosity, did you have an actual N64 hooked up to a modern TV? A lot of those old games meant to be played on a CRT will look like absolute dog shit on a modern LCD panel. Text is harder to read, it is harder to tell what a shape is supposed to be, it’s really bad.
Part of it is about how close you are to the target FPS. They likely made the old N64 games to run somewhere around 24 FPS since that was an extremely common “frame rate” for CRT TVs common at the time. Therefore, the animations of, well, basically everything that moves in the game can be tuned to that frame rate. It would probably look like jank crap if they made the animations have 120 frames for 1 second of animation, but they didn’t.
On to Fallout 4… Oh boy. Bethesda jank. Creation engine game speed is tied to frame rate. They had several problems with the launch of Fallout76 because if you had a really powerful computer and unlocked your frame rate, you would be moving 2-3 times faster than you should have been. It’s a funny little thing to do in a single-player game, but absolutely devastating in a multi-player game. So, if your machine is chugging a bit and the frame rate slows down, it isn’t just your visual rate of new images appearing that is slowing down, it’s the speed at which the entire game does stuff that slowed down. It feels bad.
And also, as others have said, frame time, dropped frames, and how stable the frame rate is makes a huge difference too in how it “feels”.
Jesus. Basically everything about it. We use the web client at work, so might be a different set of annoyances.
deep breath
I use slashes in 70% of the e-mails I write as the punctuation mark that they are - I have never and will never want it to start randomly guessing what files I want to attach to the e-mail when I type a slash.
I actually didn’t hate that if you typed something like “23rd” it would make the rd super-script - until the day it started doing it so incredibly wrong that it would super-script the ‘3’ and the ‘r’ and change the ‘d’ to a ‘th’ so it read “23rth”.
Several times per day it will show a folder name in bold with a number in parenthesis telling me I have new messages in that folder, but when I click on the folder it highlights nothing as new messages, so I have to just remember what the last message I actually read was.
Search sucks.
Rarely can I open attachments. I told a coworker just yesterday that if they want to keep something secret from me, their best bet is to put the secret in an e-mail attachment and e-mail it to me.
I mostly browse while at work to kill time… I don’t have access to the avatar I would use at work. Also I don’t think I see people’s avatars with the front end I use?
My dude, this picture has clarified nothing, lol.
