First of all, nobody's damaging a historical piece of art by applying filters to a game during playback. A more suitable analogy here would be to look at the Mona Lisa through a certain type of glasses.

Secondly, the Mona Lisa's development didn't suffer from lack of technical advancement. We still use brushes and paint today. So to improve the analogy once more, we could say it's like adding color to an originally black and white picture or movie.

Thirdly, the graphics of a video game are not (always) a primary aspect of its artistic value. So depending on the game, the picture or movie that has color added to it post-hoc may be something like a documentary, where the visuals aren't part of its artistic value.

So there. Stop making ridiculous analogies. Depending on the game, using a filter to turn the pixels into smoother graphics may be a perfectly legitimate way to improve the game's graphics. HqX works great in DQ1, FF1, and LoZ from what I've seen so far, all of which have utterly nasty graphics otherwise.

I don't have a problem with filters and I mostly agree with you you, but you're wrong on this point

Pigments and other media have changed and improved tremendously over the centuries. For example, life like portraiture only became possible on a wide spread basis due to advancements in pigments post renaissance.

No we won't. The most talented people are either making AAA games or their passion projects. I severely doubt anyone with passion for gaming has thought "hmm lets make a new game like Adventure Island." Shit and mediocre developers probably have butI don't want a shit or mediocre Adventure Island. I have doubts about any franchise that has been dead for more than a decade ever getting a good entry ever again never mind surpassing the old installments unless the original creators/team pour their heart and soul into it

Memorization's the only way to define something which requires skill, in single-player games anyway. If you don't need to memorize, the game is probably too easy.

That's not a casual filter so much as it is the worst part of the game.

There's no excuse to use filters. Just use a real CRT or just deal with stretched LCD images.

It's really not that hard, it just has two projectile based enemies placed in locations that fuck you over if you're moving too fast without paying attention because you can't simply roll or jump into them like damn near any other enemy in the game.

You think you're cool? You sound like a fucking hermit that just graduated high school. In this fucking world all that matters is other people's opinion about you, nothing else. I don't hate myself or feel insecure at all, I'm fit, I'm tall, I'm built, I lift daily, and I have a beautiful girlfriend of two years who also takes care of herself. Sex with a fit girl is god damn amazing, those fucks in porn only care about how big their breasts are and tire out after five minutes. Sex lasts an average of thirty minutes for us, constant pounding and everlasting endurance on both ends.

We also didn't meet at a bar/gym or any of those shitty places where you need to get high off working out or drunk to find another opposite sex, we met on a hiking trail and decided to stick around for each other. It's truly pathetic and sad to see so many of you fucks whinge on the internet just because you are insecure about yourself not fitting in, I work out to make myself acceptable in society, and to potential protect and help those I care about. I know that is the true meaning for our human civilization, to be accepted into other people's lives
