  • I picked up winsor newton acrylic paints from the craft store.

    I probably should have watched a YouTube video on painting or something.

    The white paint has pretty good coverage. I just need to learn brush control.

    The red paint has good coverage as well, but it does need more than one coat and it appears much darker than I expected. The more paint I add the darker it looks. There are two shades of red down and they look identical on the paper.

    It looks like for me going over the lines with the paint marker than painting inside that works ok for me.

    The yellow is not going to work. It’s transparent and I worry it will be dark ans muddy by the time enough layers are built up. I’ll try painting white under, then yellow over.





  • There were many other formats that came and went between vhs and dvd. There is a lot of media history being conveniently forgotten to make it seem like VHS was the only video format until 1995.

    I owned many of them at the time they came out. They all had advantages and drawbacks.

    when using the tv’s in most homes at the time, the advantages didn’t matter. You needed to use high resolution composite computer monitors with the video sources and surround sounds equipped receivers to get a significantly different experience. That was such an expensive niche .

    The killer thing that vhs had over the numerous formats that came and went was price.

    Once dvd got inexpensive enough it took over. That was about a decade after DVD’s introduction.

    I agree that dvd will likely outlive the legacy of VHS in pure years.




  • Maybe I haven’t used it enough, but I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. I may just need to game more, or play the ‘right’ games. I DO like the crt I have. I don’t at all feel issue jumping on to a modern OLED 55" LG.

    I went though quote a hassle and around $900 getting the CRT I have working. If this was for gaming it wouldn’t have been worth it.

    I have
