Wait is this fucking serious? I had no idea that they actually talked like this... I mean, I've always been pretty liberal or whatever but holy shit. Where should I go to learn more? I cannot fucking believe they actually think like this. My blood is boiling

Uh... it doesn't sound like it. It sounds like unironic, intense bigotry backed with a plan and a certain view of history. Is what you said the best rebuttal to what I'm obviously seeing? Because if so I'm going to /pol/ for the first time ever.

Of course. Real hardware is cool, I've just spent half the night playing PS1 games on a PS2 it's close enough and actually supports component easily without modification but emulation absolutely has its place. I'm not hauling a PS1 or SNES with me on the train, but a Vita fits the bill nicely. Ultimately what's really important is the games themselves. I don't begrudge people for wanting boosted performance and res in N64 games or Z-axis stability in PS1 games.
>>5933750
Also this. Mainly this.

>>5933390
yeah. Real Hardware is like vinyl, good and fun to use, but not needed to enjoy the medium. High quality emulation is akin to downloading flac rips of stuff, while poor quality stuff (think zsnes) is like those poor bitcrushed Sara Bareilles mp3 rips your mom listens to in the car.

Unironically the best description for real hardware and emulation.
I never seen the reason why people have the need to bash on either when both are fine to use for their own reasons.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 7 20:36:01 2019 No.5934817 >>5934683 That's really the important point. Emulation is fine, but poor quality emulation, like a shitty clone system or whatever, is distinctly not fine because it's compromising the game itself.

It's because some are elitist purists, and the others are a reaction to the purists, with a smidge of class warfare to flavor.l
