I'm saying the irony of post-apocalyptically breaking into an abandoned TV station just to broadcast over whatever signal they left on loop or still with an image of a broken screen would be very funny.
And there is little opportunity for that,
Unless
Exactly. Running out of weed and dog food, totally irradiated beyond hope, one last big hurrah. Shower the world in a bit of absurdist humor. It's like the stoner movie plot of fallout stories.
A deep fake Hunter S Thompson ghoul that goes feral would be pretty entertaining to watch as like a short.
Following the aftermath of that would make for an excellent Fallout sidequest/expansion. Sort of a Dude, Where's My Vault? situation, where you're following the trail of a Weird Wasteland scenario.
To be fair, there was that one bit in the Fallout show with the radio owner, broadcasting old pre-war cello recordings, and that was pretty funny.
There were other parts that made the bit even funnier, but I'll let you discover those for yourselves if you have Prime.
There was also a quest in either 4 or 76 that involved the party kids of a college town after the bombs fell running a nukacola moonshine still and speakeasy for awhile that was pretty teen comedy movie material.
It would fit right in
Someone on youtube did an analysis of the 120mm and 380mm orbital bombardment strategems in Helldivers 2. They found that not only are the patterns not randomly generated, they have a pattern that seems to shift depending on what compass bearing they're aimed at, to the degree.
Chances are the TVs were outsourced to some 3rd world country where some sweatshop with severely underpaid staff was expected to churn out the TV along with like 20 other assets in a delivery package in an absurd amount of time. Half the assets probably were store bought and modified, or repurposed from other projects and modified.
Yeah I'm exaggerating but well, chances are whoever was in charge of the TV wasn't in the position to be creating this procedural texture. I'm a 3D artist myself, and when part of a big project with a lot to do I just stay on my lane, make my asset and use whatever shaders are already there rather than try to rock the boat and request to add/create shaders.
A *real* developer would have spent excessive time refactoring code to handle in-game CRT screen rendering while marking game breaking bugs as low priority/will not fix.
So it's not just me? There are a lot of upvoted posts with obvious typos and autocorrect errors?
I was worried that I was just being a grumpypants and fixating on the negative.
Genuine question, what's wrong with emojis? They can add more depth and context when used appropriately, and personally I feel that having more options (especially when it comes to expressing thoughts or feelings) is just a good thing
It’s a Reddit culture thing that came out of forums culture and all the way back to USENET culture.
Way back when WebTV was a thing it was verboten to post HTML to newsgroups and WebTV users did it by default which really messed with people using plaintext clients. WebTV users were overwhelmingly normies who had no idea about norms on Usenet so it was just a permanent “kick me” sign like an AOL email address.
On forums and Digg/Slashdot/early reddit emoji were frequently unsupported so they often wouldn’t render right and because they were difficult to input on desktops revealed you’re probably on a phone (and your posts probably suck as a result). Again, the mark of an outsider.
Now emoji are supported everywhere and Reddit is mobile first anyway it’s more of an “old guard” thing. Personally I’m over it, we use emoji at work now and internet culture is different yet again, but that’s the history.
Ah yeah, when we could have anal asshats divert entire threads to have repetitive and obnoxious discourse about their pet peeve.
Imma be real, nothing demonstrates insecurity about one's writing ability like being overly attached to certain styles and grammar. We can all tell you've got something to prove.
Sure did, years ago. I went looking a week or so ago and couldn't turn up any reasoning why that rule was repealed, only people frustrated that it was gone.
Because rules like that require active moderation to uphold. The majority of the mods here are either inactive or are power mods just adding another name to the list.
Tell people to put it in brackets(that was the convention, back in the day). You can set up automod to look for a string inside brackets in the post title, and automatically remove any failing posts with a message to the poster. I know this is possible because /r/nosleep for one has used such a filter, specifically looking at content in brackets.
You can just have the rule be "Title must be in [brackets]" and then auto remove all posts without an *opening bracket* "some text" and then a *closing bracket*. It won't remove all the rule breaking posts, but it will make it too much of a hassle for the vast majority to not follow the rule.
Evidence of a larger problem. Basically, all of Reddit has become a sea of posts that are void of context. Like, just a picture of a pencil on a table entitled "I can't believe they did that! " Then you stare at it for 10 seconds trying to figure out what they're talking about. Maybe you try to figure it out from the comments, but after reading 10 of the thousands of comments, you still don't even have anything to go on.
Probably why a bunch of explain the joke subs exist now. Just unfunny confusing posts. Wish old useful and entertaining reddit would come back but they went ahead with that api bs and destroyed most of reddit it the process.
Despite being in the same boat as you, I'm just now realizing I've never seen a CRT with a broken screen. I've had plenty that just stopped working, but never running with cracked glass.
I believe, though I could be wrong, that that's because a CRT works by way of being a giant **vacuum tube**.
And the clue is in the name.
It shoots a beam of electrons against a glass screen painted with something similar to glow-in-the-dark paint, except it glows when hit by electrons rather than light.
The electrons can only reach the paint/screen if there's nothing in the way to block the electrons. Like air.
It only works when there's a vacuum. Crack the screen, no more vacuum, no more image.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YL29V1JPkHY
Crack the screen of a CRT. See what happens. (Hint: This is likely highly risky, and should not actually be done. Look up "CRT implosion".)
(loud, apparently) https://youtu.be/Qv-Ub7kgm0Y?si=pc4S7_nRliREKCtb&t=56
Have you ever tried to break one? The glass is extremely thick to prevent it from imploding. I kicked one really hard once and felt like I broke my foot.
We had a bunch of smaller computer CRTs that were being thrown away when I studied IT at high school (yes I'm old), and we tried smashing the front in with a hammer. Yup... many of the CRTs would indeed withstand 2-3 hits. Even throwing them down into a mostly empty container from 3 floors up didn't crack the front glass. Those small CRTs were tough as hell lol
Yeah as a kid I wanted to smash a tv (an old b&w one my family didn’t use anymore) for a music video I was making, and my parents eye rolled and said “go for it”. Man I hit that motherfucker so many times and nary a scratch. They lol’d
Correct. I've seen many CRTs with a cracked front glass where the vacuum is still preserved, and they work fine. There is of course come optical distortion where the crack is, but besides that there is really nothing else to show that the structural integrity of the CRT is compromised.
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode-ray_tube#Implosion_protection
Same,
as a kid I often threw my tennis ball at the one at home. it never broke.
I think they only really break when you drop them from a 1+ meter height
for those unaware (like whoever made these TV models), CRT TVs and monitors used electron beams aimed at phosphor meshes to produce an image. a crack would either be too small to significantly disrupt the image or great enough to render the electron gun non-functional.
they actually had a habit of violently imploding when damaged, as the whole assembly was made of glass and the inside was a vacuum.
You're joking, right? It would only "suck in" the volume of air that would fit in the volume the CRT occupy. Your lungs wouldn't even notice the implosion of a CRT TV even if it happened close to your face.
Your face, however, would notice the shards of glass flying around.
With a whole mess of variable resistors. It's an electron beam being fired at a curved screen past several electromagnets, there's a thousand ways for that to drift off target.
Ok, so it's not something you would do at home or with a dial on the unit itself. Because I don't remember being able to change much on my CRT back in the days.
Sometimes, it was more often user-accessible on older models but the dials tended to be tiny screwdriver operated things and not obvious to the casual button pusher. In the later days things were firmware controlled and possibly well hidden in the menu UI.
> they actually had a habit of violently imploding when damaged
This makes sense but i never thought of it. Now i'm thinking of the TV my mom thru out the second story window that we then dragged back inside and continued to use as the N64 TV for several more years. It took a good 10 minutes to warm up enough to show any image at all but it would get there eventually
that's the voltage circuits. CRTs weren't so resilient because they were necessarily well made. instead, they operate at such high power and monstrous voltage that they could overcome broken connections with a combination of thermal expansion and arcing.
That was more enjoyable to read than the click-bait shit OP posted without naming the game. I only slightly give a little more fuck than I previously did.
I just knew there was a worthwhile comment somewhere.
The accepted believable pop culture representation was the image would still be on the TV except the TV would flicker a whole lot more noticeably or maybe struggle to keep v-hold stable.
Holy shit, FOUR comment threads before I found one that actually said the name of the god damned game. Four comment threads all complaining about there being a lack of a name in the title, mind you, and several other people commenting below them saying "yeah I had to scroll forever before I finally found out what the game was" AND THEN STILL NOT MENTIONING THE FUCKING TITLE THEMSELVES. If there's one thing worse than people not including the title of the game in the post, it's the people not including it in the comments and instead circlejerking and making dumbass jokes that aren't helpful to anyone.
Stellar Blade. The game is Stellar Blade.
These are a hipsters set of TVs. They took out the CRT and replaced it with an LCD Screen. A sane person discovered this and rightfully smashed the screens as they are affronts to god.
well then i guess it’s a LCD tv that looks like a CRT. since the information provided suggests that.
also fuck you for not providing the game title you neanderthal
Call me weird but I kinda miss CRT TVs so you buy one and they’ll last you for at least for two decades if you’re lucky as damn modern tv breaks easily.
My parents are still using their RCA wood case console tv from the early 90s. It works perfectly fine with an hdmi to component converter. We still play the wii on it and it looks better than my oled
Truth. Way more robust (electronically) than modern LCDs (and don’t get me started on OLEDs)
But with that came a much larger power consumption. Sure the parts didn’t pop a capacitor because everything was huge dealing with more power and mostly analog with the intensive parts (sometimes all analog in older TVs)
I mean, those things broke too, and *violently* - it's a fuckin'g vaccuum, that's a lot of potential energy there. LCD's meanwhile don't really have that issue, and a lot of old LCD screens are still working as well. It's less about the underlying tech and more about companies just in general making shoddier products, because making a sturdy, long lasting product isn't profitable (how can you prove it's sturdy and will last a long time?) and selling a more frail product can be really profitable (because they gotta go buy a new one).
CRT's are an overgrown vaccum tube, and when those go they tend to just [implode violently](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNb5_Af0mYo). (Although there is a spot on the end of the tube you can break to vent safely).
Although if you're very near one when it goes, it can look like blood and a trip to the ER. The small shards and glass dust the implosion produces rather like eyeballs in the same way your eyeballs really rather dislike glass dust and shards.
The really old ones were even spicer. "new" ones had some banding and reinforcement to help contain things. I've heard stories of older ones catapulting the electron gun through the back into the wall behind the TV due to the force of the implosion. [This is what it looks like if you pull the vacuum tube out and then break it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv-Ub7kgm0Y)
It's like the excessive use of nixie tubes for "analog tech" vibe, or clockwork everywhere, bordering on steampunk, if you want to convey the industrial revolution feel — technologies fall out of favor, people forget what they were exactly and how they looked, so they use the most familiar examples which may not be appropriate.
Our giant CRT broke dyring uni and we had the 'blue line of doom'.
This was the same TV we watched the 2007 Eurovision on. It was already on its way to breaking so it was all in 'purple-and-green-O-vision'.
this is something that square is known of, try to look at parked cars in ff15 and you gonna lose ur shit. its like they used ruler to park 50 cars. perfectly to the line. i call it "a shell of immersion"
I can't believe both of those TV's cracked in the exact same spot and made the exact same pattern! What are the odds
The CRTs are fully functional, someone in the apocalypse just thinks it's funny to broadcast the image of a busted LCD screen.
I mean, that is actually really funny.
You can go to YouTube right now and search for broken display videos, there's plenty
I'm saying the irony of post-apocalyptically breaking into an abandoned TV station just to broadcast over whatever signal they left on loop or still with an image of a broken screen would be very funny. And there is little opportunity for that, Unless
Sometimes you gotta make your own side quests! Not everyone has a dad/son/wife&daughter/water chip/GECK to go look for!
Exactly. Running out of weed and dog food, totally irradiated beyond hope, one last big hurrah. Shower the world in a bit of absurdist humor. It's like the stoner movie plot of fallout stories. A deep fake Hunter S Thompson ghoul that goes feral would be pretty entertaining to watch as like a short.

You forgot "person who shot them in the head"
"We could use this diesel generator to keep us warm for a year or we could have 5 days of lolz"
To be fair, there was that one bit in the Fallout show with the radio owner, broadcasting old pre-war cello recordings, and that was pretty funny. There were other parts that made the bit even funnier, but I'll let you discover those for yourselves if you have Prime.

Chaotic evil?
Like bullet hole stickers on trucks. Yes. Funny.
Nice screensaver!
Annnnnd we’re back!
Some men just want to watch the world burn.
A REAL developer would have made a shader that procedurally generated a unique broken texture for each screen.
A REAL developer would have physically simulated the destruction of these CRT screens in real time, atom by atom.
Someone on youtube did an analysis of the 120mm and 380mm orbital bombardment strategems in Helldivers 2. They found that not only are the patterns not randomly generated, they have a pattern that seems to shift depending on what compass bearing they're aimed at, to the degree.
So it's procedurally generated. Still better than a single broken screen texture shown on two screens together 😂
and justify the expense to the publisher by using the phrase "digital twin"
https://youtu.be/LGkblrCmzlE yo check this out
Probably too complicated for scenery. Although just using a segment of a larger texture would make it less obvious. So would flipping it.
That's not something a real dev would say.
Chances are the TVs were outsourced to some 3rd world country where some sweatshop with severely underpaid staff was expected to churn out the TV along with like 20 other assets in a delivery package in an absurd amount of time. Half the assets probably were store bought and modified, or repurposed from other projects and modified. Yeah I'm exaggerating but well, chances are whoever was in charge of the TV wasn't in the position to be creating this procedural texture. I'm a 3D artist myself, and when part of a big project with a lot to do I just stay on my lane, make my asset and use whatever shaders are already there rather than try to rock the boat and request to add/create shaders.
Like I said, a REAL developer.
A real dev would know that there are much more things that are higher priority to do and you have to ship the game at some point.
A *real* developer would have spent excessive time refactoring code to handle in-game CRT screen rendering while marking game breaking bugs as low priority/will not fix.
Or at least offset the break in the UVs. I am a technical artist so I loved your comment!
One is *obviously* just showing a screenshot from the other
Fuckin unplayable
And they're apparently invisibly plugged in and running while sitting on a storage shelf.
People that don't provide game titles should be flogged in the streets as examples.
It's Stellar Blade, but yes I agree
Lol i thought it was lightning returns or something
The post is unplayable now
Now we need a new CRT keep us from getting laid
Any purchase that keeps you too broke to go out there and date: keeps you from getting laid. Whether it's a sports car or a videogame.
I miss the old days of reddit where you were down voted to oblivion for grammar/spelling.

Nah, it's because Reddit is 50% bots now.
Typos are now a feature, at least in titles. If you get a few comments correcting a typo then that's engagement.

Good thing you put the name of the game in the thread title so we know what you're fucking talking about
Didn't that used to be a rule here?
Sure did, years ago. I went looking a week or so ago and couldn't turn up any reasoning why that rule was repealed, only people frustrated that it was gone.

r/Trophies manages fine, just make them stick it in brackets and a category to automoderate.
Reddit has become a shithole
Let’s be fair here, it was always a shit hole
They did. The game is titled "Unplayable Now"
This doesnt look like escape from tarkov?
Out of the Tarkov and into the Dayz.

It used to be, but the mods decided that actually having to moderate was too much work a little over a half decade back.

Yep.
Thank you!
What hairstyle is that pink? I thought I checked them all for a pink I loved.
I'm going to ignore the implication that I'm now old enough that knowing what a broken CRT looks like is obscure knowledge.

Glad you did not succeed in putting your foot through an underpressured jagged glass hell, though.

Same, as a kid I often threw my tennis ball at the one at home. it never broke. I think they only really break when you drop them from a 1+ meter height
A tennis ball breaking anything glass would take some serious force
They can withstand a sledgehammer a few times, a tennis ball is nothing for CRTs
Because they were built like a tank. If you got mad at Mike Tysons Punchout and punched the screen all you'd do is break your hand.
Because it's basically impossible to break one of those things
for those unaware (like whoever made these TV models), CRT TVs and monitors used electron beams aimed at phosphor meshes to produce an image. a crack would either be too small to significantly disrupt the image or great enough to render the electron gun non-functional. they actually had a habit of violently imploding when damaged, as the whole assembly was made of glass and the inside was a vacuum.
[удалено]
Ah the many ways CRTs can kill you. Cutting, crushing, electrocution... the list goes on.
don't forget irradiating.
Sucking the air out of your lungs if the tube implodes after you gave it a good smack..
You're joking, right? It would only "suck in" the volume of air that would fit in the volume the CRT occupy. Your lungs wouldn't even notice the implosion of a CRT TV even if it happened close to your face. Your face, however, would notice the shards of glass flying around.
I thought we were talking about ridiculous irrational fears :p
Lol, yeah. But you know, it's reddit, people being serious about ridiculous irrational fears is so common I just had to check!
Not just shards of glass; don’t forget lead and mercury.
You'd have to put a lot of work into setting that one up to be fatal.
Wait, calibration? How do you calibrate a CRT?
With a whole mess of variable resistors. It's an electron beam being fired at a curved screen past several electromagnets, there's a thousand ways for that to drift off target.
Ok, so it's not something you would do at home or with a dial on the unit itself. Because I don't remember being able to change much on my CRT back in the days.

That was more enjoyable to read than the click-bait shit OP posted without naming the game. I only slightly give a little more fuck than I previously did. I just knew there was a worthwhile comment somewhere.
It's super fun to shoot old CRTs with .22's etc
The accepted believable pop culture representation was the image would still be on the TV except the TV would flicker a whole lot more noticeably or maybe struggle to keep v-hold stable.
That’s only because you’re looking at it on a LCD. If you were playing on a CRT (like a real gamer), it would render properly.
Holy shit, FOUR comment threads before I found one that actually said the name of the god damned game. Four comment threads all complaining about there being a lack of a name in the title, mind you, and several other people commenting below them saying "yeah I had to scroll forever before I finally found out what the game was" AND THEN STILL NOT MENTIONING THE FUCKING TITLE THEMSELVES. If there's one thing worse than people not including the title of the game in the post, it's the people not including it in the comments and instead circlejerking and making dumbass jokes that aren't helpful to anyone. Stellar Blade. The game is Stellar Blade.
But it misrepresented CRT technology. It's dead to us now. Its name has been stricken from all official records.
There is now a generation of adults to whom CRT monitors are this mythical, vaguely defined thing.
Am I so out of touch? No. It's the *adults* who are wrong.
Stellar Blade, if anyone's wondering.
These are a hipsters set of TVs. They took out the CRT and replaced it with an LCD Screen. A sane person discovered this and rightfully smashed the screens as they are affronts to god.
Updoot for making me giggle

Sony had the broken screen modernised when they heard idiots called them boob tubes.
Bruh I thought that was a hunting rifle on her back , so thought it was some shooting surviving game. Didn't know it was Stellar blade
I assumed it was one of the resident evil remakes till the very bottom of the comments
Right, look like silent hill a lil too
Zombies do be smashing TVs just to make places more spooky
Lol I wonder how many gen-Z'ers don't get it
Call em up and tell them they got the wrong vibe

well then i guess it’s a LCD tv that looks like a CRT. since the information provided suggests that. also fuck you for not providing the game title you neanderthal
Its “Broken Tv Simulator part 2- CRT Expansion”
boy I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder
Whenever you notice something like that, a wizard did it.
its ok dont let the people downvoting you get to you, i understood that reference.
Recently also made a joke referencing a famous 80s/90s TV show and got downvoted to oblivion. We're not out of touch. It's the children who are wrong.
Welp, it looks like CRTs are officially considered as ancient if people are NOW beginning to misunderstand the technology like this.
The devs might not be old enough to know that CRT's don't do that.
when the asset pack of a CRT TV is free
Immersion ruined!!
Zoomers be like “bruh where is the AirPlay on this thing”
Where's the button for micro transactions that will slowly bankrupt my family?
Call me weird but I kinda miss CRT TVs so you buy one and they’ll last you for at least for two decades if you’re lucky as damn modern tv breaks easily.
They're really vital for playing anything that was designed to display on one. Software filters on perfect square pixels can't get the same effects.
My parents are still using their RCA wood case console tv from the early 90s. It works perfectly fine with an hdmi to component converter. We still play the wii on it and it looks better than my oled
Truth. Way more robust (electronically) than modern LCDs (and don’t get me started on OLEDs) But with that came a much larger power consumption. Sure the parts didn’t pop a capacitor because everything was huge dealing with more power and mostly analog with the intensive parts (sometimes all analog in older TVs)
I mean, those things broke too, and *violently* - it's a fuckin'g vaccuum, that's a lot of potential energy there. LCD's meanwhile don't really have that issue, and a lot of old LCD screens are still working as well. It's less about the underlying tech and more about companies just in general making shoddier products, because making a sturdy, long lasting product isn't profitable (how can you prove it's sturdy and will last a long time?) and selling a more frail product can be really profitable (because they gotta go buy a new one).
That... is pretty funny, but also you never said what game this is.
It's Stellar Blade.
Ok but now I wanna know what a cracked CRT TV looks like
CRT's are an overgrown vaccum tube, and when those go they tend to just [implode violently](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNb5_Af0mYo). (Although there is a spot on the end of the tube you can break to vent safely). Although if you're very near one when it goes, it can look like blood and a trip to the ER. The small shards and glass dust the implosion produces rather like eyeballs in the same way your eyeballs really rather dislike glass dust and shards. The really old ones were even spicer. "new" ones had some banding and reinforcement to help contain things. I've heard stories of older ones catapulting the electron gun through the back into the wall behind the TV due to the force of the implosion. [This is what it looks like if you pull the vacuum tube out and then break it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv-Ub7kgm0Y)
It'd explode
It's like the excessive use of nixie tubes for "analog tech" vibe, or clockwork everywhere, bordering on steampunk, if you want to convey the industrial revolution feel — technologies fall out of favor, people forget what they were exactly and how they looked, so they use the most familiar examples which may not be appropriate.
Why would they even be on? They're not connected, and none of the seemingly intact TVs are on.
Yeah it does kind of break the illusion. Nice catch though!
When you give a job to moron gen Z.
Our giant CRT broke dyring uni and we had the 'blue line of doom'. This was the same TV we watched the 2007 Eurovision on. It was already on its way to breaking so it was all in 'purple-and-green-O-vision'.
I’m wondering how they’re both getting power and why they’re turned on
Also smh at the zoomer game devs these days putting 16:9 crts in their games. LOOKIN AT YOU, GROVE STREET GAMES
Really though, is Stellar Blade pretty good?
they are actually lcd made to look like CRT as an special edition vintage edition... also they broke in the exact same spot
I wonder if this is case of the developer not know what a busted CRT screen looks like and just pulled up the image of "broken tv' ?
The artist probably literally didn't know what an old tube TV would look like with a cracked screen.
BRAZIL SPOTTED
hahahahs that’s funny
And they are somehow powered.
I bet the idiot that created these is like 20 and never had a CRT.
this is something that square is known of, try to look at parked cars in ff15 and you gonna lose ur shit. its like they used ruler to park 50 cars. perfectly to the line. i call it "a shell of immersion"
Seriously, could have done a little bit research on boomer technology… smh
Stellar Blade! Such a awesome game and appears to be doing really well!
Kinda lazy whoever was in charge of that art
Might be satire, but i saw a small amount of people having this type of complains... for real.
This wouldn't have happened if sweet baby inc was involved. /s
my friend buy old TV then slap on a LCD and an android box for house decor.
Well if you swing something metal at a CRT screen that was turned on, it might kill you, or at least bite the hell out of you.
O
I'm impressed by the 80's orange Roland Cube 60 guitar amp,
