Why do people think that pixels are some sort of "aesthetic" rather than graphical limitations? Does this mean we will also see 7th Gen era graphics as an "aesthetic" in the future?

Nobody really knows what is an isn't a "graphical limitation" so all they have to go on is just making things pixelated plus some "enhancements" are kind of nice like in your NES looking indie game that has multiple scrolling backgrounds or something.
they are both an "aesthetic" and also used to be a graphical limitation, they aren't mutually exclusive
just play indies on a crt like the autist you are
It is an easthetic. Yes, just we will see a throwback just like low poly and eighties music.
Feels like we missed 90's music and went onto 2000's over produced pop. Kinda shit now as it was back then
Reminder that the Famicom had an AV edition which cleaned up the image significantly from RF and after that the SNES/SFC had RGB which made games look like the right on a CRT, pixel perfect.
These "uhhh videogames were never intended to look pixel perfect" arguments are moronic.
CRTs tv don't display images with squares. Especially NES/SNES because of the 8;7 rendering ratio being streched to be displayed at 4;3. Then theres color dithering.

Do you realize that having the power to process more advanced graphics doesn't mean that your average small indie team is able to do them? Pixel art in current year games is still coming from limitations, in this case budget and skills limitations.
It's nothing but an excuse to have shitty low-effort graphics. If shitty low-effort "pixelart" becomes considered an "aesthetic", then talentless indie devs can shit out more quirky earthbound-inspired JRPGs and never need to put any effort into their product.
>never need to put any effort into their product.
Because only graphics take any effort when creating a game?
Are you saying they have anything else going for them?

This game is pretty but I heard it wasn’t anything special outside of the visuals.
The art is well-made but not really well-designed, everything looks generic. Luckily the main character had a tumblr nose to warn me, otherwise my hopes would have been raised for nothing.
>Why do people think that pixels are some sort of "aesthetic" rather than graphical limitations?
Because people like how it looks.
why do we need to keep making this thread
50% newbies, 25% autistic redditors/shitposters who like seeing the same thing repeatedly, and 25% bots.
They are an aesthetic whether you put quotation marks around that word or not.
Why does his sword look like a dick?
crt autism is too advanced for me, all of these look fine
You might be blind.
The more I learn about Mania and its devs the more based they become
How does being lazy equal based in your head?
I assume they included the CRT shader in their game?
Only the shit scanlines. The text on the right literally says which one is Mania and which one isn't.
What do you want them to do? Make completely new sprites? He obviously assumed low functioning autists that care that much can apply their own filters.
If he did try to change the sprites completely it'd probably look like complete shit

>He thinks the elite will let people take part in reality when they could just shove everyone into VR pods to do iwhatever they want.
You will enjoy your segmented imagination inside the pod and you will be happy.
Right. The tech looks neat but this kind of software leads to nothing good. Should all be burned and illegal to produce
How the frick... does it change texture when you zoom in? Or is it a gigantic resolution?
Wait, sorry, I meant to reply to
The CRT bulbs. It seems like a really cool trick.
i smiled at them messing with each other but then realized how fricked this whole thing is in context
>Bloody Roar is dead
There's a better game, it's Fricking Raw
I wish this were easier to set up.
Because they can be both.
Sepia tone color palettes in photographs were born from the technological limitations of the time, but people liked the look of them enough to keep taking Sepia-toned photographs long after color became possible.
Lo-fi recording equipment can actually be harder to find than decent stuff these days, but a lot of people like the way it sounds, and so use it intentionally.
Crayon drawings are something little kids do, but that look can be used to great effect to ellict certain emotions or aesthetics.
The first step to ascension is understanding that something being higher resolution or technologically "better" doesn't make it any better or worse on an aesthetic level.
