it's not mine btw, I just didn't want to open the thread with my setup cause it's not very retro. I'll post mine once the thread fills up some more, in the meantime I'll post some I've got saved.

I never understood why some people line flight simulator so much. Not judging, just seems weird to me. Especially when you go through the trouble to build such a setup, it is impressive though.

[Anonymous No.5786843]

>>5786837
It's the same as stuff like truck simulator, once you've put in the time to learn how it works, which can be very satisfying, it's relaxing to just go on a flight and observe all the proper protocols and procedures. One day I'd like to build a nice helicopter sim setup.

[Anonymous No.5786851]

I like this one but PS3 is probably not the best console to be playing on an SD set and it's not /vr/ but the TV sure as hell is.

They might be working out of home and even be pretty good at it. If they're a really good freelance programmer who can work 20 hours a day when necessary, nobody cares if they're an utter wacko.

This shit is straight crazy. I wonder what kind of resolution is being pushed to each of these monitors that these people didn't just use projectors. Could retro era computers even push combined resolutions that high, even with stacked video cards?

Demon's Souls runs at what, 480p? SD screens are precisely what it was designed to run on.
Let me check... oh, it's 720p. Well, it would still probably look better on a CRT than on a 1080p LCD display.

[Anonymous No.5786906]

>>5786898
I'm pretty confident that these are professional training simulators. They're for real pilots, not gaming.

[Funcoland Clown No.5786909]

Dat background on the OP though. On closer examination I see they're running on like eight full PCs simultaneously.

I knew a guy that was very into flight simulators, since childhood. Today, he's a commercial airline pilot. That's the appeal of simulators, to train while you don't have access to the real thing.

>>5787673
it's a sansui 27" that I bought in 2008 on clearance from sears.

It has component as well as s-video (which is what the SNES super game boy being displayed is running over). The picture has some issues but I can't fix the color or the geometry as it has no service menu, so I'm just enjoying it as it is until it inevitably dies one day. Not sure what I'm gonna do then, most of the good bigger TVs I find now are 32" and up, which I find hard to own as they're just so impossible to move.

[Anonymous No.5787745]

The original stand broke, all I had was the wall mount. I had some scrap wood so I decided to just make something out of that instead of wasting money on that.

>wasting money on that
You bought a Switch, retard, you have no understanding of money's worth.

[Anonymous No.5788374]

>>5788362
Utilitarian I guess. It was easier to build a stand than to wait a week waiting online for a new one.
In fact I'd say its sturdier than the original stand, and at a better height.
Also I cant play Mario Odyssey on a tv stand so I dont get your point.

[Anonymous No.5788395]

You said you already had a wall mount though. That would look infinitely better than your retard's first try at woodworking.

I didn't want to skrew it in the wall. I'm moving soon and would prefer the walls be as pristine as possible. You cant just thumbtack it to the wall like a picture or what have you, you need screws and a stuf.

Yeah, let's show how I'm totally an adult, so I can move bottles out of the way before I can plug in controllers. It's not the bottles themselves that are fucking stupid, it's the placement of them right in front of the consoles.

It's funny how people on this board will jump down everyone's throat about an action figure, yet defend mini bottles. You think mini bottles are cool or something?

Just shows that the average age on here is about 14.

Why is it cringe? We like booze in my house and the lights look great imo. The white 64 glows in the dark too so the led charges it. I think minis are less cringe than having naked anime statues everywhere. The photo is from a halloween event at a theme park. Thought we would dress up because I enjoy having fun and a laugh opposed to criticising shit on a Moroccan basket weaving forum.

[Anonymous No.5793321]

>>5791352
Moving the bottles isn't really a chore, nor am I in the game of feeling like I gotta prove I'm an adult either. In fact I like the juxtaposition of it all in a way and it's another one of my excuses as to why I havent had kids myself yet. Makes me feel good knowing I can have this stuff out and no little womb goblin be fucking with it.

Awesome setup anon. You're lucky to find a consumer set that's stable and doesn't discolor when in tate. I would recommend you get a black cloth and staple it to the back of your shelves so you can't see all the wires behind it. Also, I would unplug the controllers when they're not in use, it looks less colored in my opinion. Similarly, putting the games back on the shelf would achieve the same effect. Lastly, print some end labels for your N64 cartridges goddamnit.
