    I'm old so the photo gives me nostalgia about tech that's (basically) obsolete in people's homes now: VCR, stereo, turntable, cd player, fat back tv...

    I seriously wonder how many people have a fat back tv.

      The only ones i know also have an NES and say it doesn't work well with anything newer.

        It's a real pain in the ass to get it hooked up to TVs with only HDMI connections. I wish I still had a CRT

        Indeed, retro consoles from back in the day look best on tube tvs. But some people like the crisp pixels also so they don't mind playing on an LCD.

        Damn, I really hope I can come across a CRT HDTV. They're not very common

          They are rare, but they are really worth it, I'm also lucky enough for my to have a singular HDMI port. Allows me to run a Pi as a media center.

      There’s two VCRs there unless my eyes are just totally fucked. Time to dub some tapes.

      Also, I think everyone of a certain age had that AIWA stereo. I know I did.

      NVM I think that’s a dvd or Blu-ray player

      Besides my melee player friends, nobody.

      I have all the items you listed, but it was probably obvious from my username

        I see now. And I guess I shouldn't admit this but I use a white theme and the usernames are very hard to read so I tend to forget all about them.
