No RIGHT..on occasion.   Every example is different.    Monitors were beyond the original code.   This much you cannot deny..and you didn't.

but that wasn't what you said, so why would I bother denying it ?

Uh Xiaou2 still didn't answer my question and you seem to continue to be DIM to this.   You don't even know what I am talking about.   Here is a grasp of it.   The original monitors have a curve.   Pixel distortion. 

The only thing that is noticed is the reflections from the curved surface, and a slight depth perception.   A 19"  CRT viewed at 2ft away with only a slight round face leads very little to no Illusion related distortions.

Seems to me that he has it nailed. And he isn't part of my little cult.

Am I getting through here??  This is one example.  You are impossible to explain to.    So ignorant, that you wouldn't have even posted if you knew what I was saying.

Uh huh ...

What a tool...so you post that stupid beam of light thing again.   Wow even after I warned you.  What good is that if I admitted my mistake?  You obviously have still not learned how to read.

No, you said that I had only caught you in a single inaccuracy and then challenged me to provide examples. If thinking that there are beams of light inside a CRT isn't an example of an inaccuracy, then I'm not sure what is. It is perhaps the single most obvious mistake that you have made. It is 100% incorrect. I don't really give a crap if you *warned* me ... there are facts and there are errors. One is your friend and one is mine.

next..

IF THERE WAS A 15hz monitor.   I wasn't wrong was I.   Another "kicking your ass" dillusion.

My mistake ... I was thinking that we were talking about REALITY. I was entirely my DELUSION.

next..

The Tron light cycle was meant to be played 4 way hence the restrictor.   And you think it wasn't?   The "give" was for the spider level and cone.   HMMMMMM   the Koolaid man strikes again.   This was really too easy.

Wait, what, that wasn't what you said before when you railed against both Lew and myself for indicating that you needed 4-way restriction. (Hell, you questionned my statement that there was a special restrictor).

I know that saint doesn't have the time to dig out the thread, but please push this soem more if you are willing and maybe he will.

As I say, I'm not afraid of my post history.

EDIT: For misattribution of a quote to Xiaou2.

PS: Do you guys understand that you're both right and it all depended on the quality of the TV you had? Say the tv had poor focus, it would blur/blend everything.

Yeah it must be nice to change your story.   Don't worry, that is what quotes will be for in the future and you can try to edit all you want.

Oh and for sure all that throwing in my face...it was just blinding.  :laugh2:

One of us (i.e. not you) still has full editing priviledges because we make notes about what we edit so that it is clear that we are not changing the story after the fact. I will always admit to my mistakes, whether they be factual or attitudinal, so I am still allowed to EDIT my posts.

Why is it that you can't EDIT again ?  :dunno

Why/how would a person get this ridiculously worked up over a subject like this? Seriously??

Cheffo,

You just quoted me.  That is what I said..just READ.   They were made to the limitation...translation MONITORS WERE BEYOND THE CODE.   So obviously they were not the limiting factor.   I can't explain it any better then that.   Again COMPREHEND.

next..

Wow you even highlighted it in bold and you don't get it still.   Here let me break it down Barney style...  Do you agree that curve in the screen causes percieved pixel distortion.  If yes...then the next step is that the code is uniform...meaning unchanged when moving pacman from right to left.

So therefore....TADA the coders did not account for this.    Same with other non-uniform flaws.   Are you getting it yet?  Xiaou2 never adressed this FACT.

next..

I challenged you to find 10 errors that I didn't adress.  It was a TYPO in that I was writing one thing out of habit and meaning another.  I explained this fully, so this is not an error.   This is the only thing you can come up with, and it is pitiful.    That would be like being so stupid as to keep bringing up something that you admitted being in error.   That isn't a gotcha, I explained what happened.   

The challenge was to find something that I didn't adress.   So far you have found nothing.  NADA ZILCH.   DIM

next...

Kicking ---my bottom---....again more dellusions.    Do you know how bad you sound?   You keep repeating and you have shown no evidence that you even understand my point.    I suggest you read closer, because it just keeps getting lost on you.

next..

I never said there wasn't a 4 way restrictor.   I said that it played best that way and there is no proof...just like with now that it wasn't meant to be restricted in that part.    Hence me saying that for the PART and the game for my accounts, it could be fine.   HMMMM

By the way, as usual you failed to grasp that I admitted my question was answered...not ERROR because I never said definitively I like now just questioned it.    When I saw the mold made and the obvious problems I submitted.   If I didn't, why would I make my mod?   Again another stupid example.   

You take being inquisitive as insisting that something is stone cold the way I see it.    No...get this through your skull, I want evidence before I make a defininite decision.    Noone is always right, and accepting blind answers without even questioning make you a sheep like you...sorry, I will never work that way.   

Wow.....that was really good... :laugh2: :laugh2:

Me worked up?  No warmed up is more like it.   I like hitting these softballs.   But oh no I can't edit...oh no...Cheffo is so much cooler.   :laugh2:   Dude you should edit your posts more to not sound so tard.  It just isn't working for you.

Hey I tried to end it.   I said it plainly.  And I am the bad guy for defending myself? 

Oh ok.   GOOD, then I guess I am "bad".   

Meanwhile back at the ranch Cheffo insists everyone is ignoring me...but is he?   It is sad when someone puts out a hand and they are refused.   "he wants it...well he gets it...I don't enjoy it any more then you do"

Actually, back at CasaCheffo, I was picking up the kids from school and,since they know more about arcade games than you do, I figure that they deserve more attention.

But that's me.  :dunno

Cheffo,

You can quit at any time...all you gotta do is *GASP* show me some respect and just leave it be.   You aren't proving a thing.   You are no better then I as much as you like to think that you are.

Admirable that you pick up your kids..but mine actually don't need to be driven and they actually collect a paycheck...hmmm that age sure is showing isn't it.

Though it is troubling that it is the measure of how you give attention.

Spend time with your kids..by all means....

And just remember, I didn't say you were a chicken and you weren't beat.   You have shown good sense.

Well, my oldest are 9 and the youngest is 6. Again, I'm reasonably certain that you don't want to say *anything* about my kids and not only because it is in poor taste.

You want to come after me, that is fine. Hell, I encourage it.

If you mention Mrs. Cheffo or the little Cheffos, then you should be prepared for me to show up on your doorstep and hold you to account for what you say.

If you are older than I am, then cool ... I'll get off of your lawn, relinquish my title of the grumpy old man and continue to call you out.

What.  Now you are going to threaten me?

Dude you got issues..big ones.

I am encouraging you to spend time with your kids and telling you to be smart and don't waste your time on a useless debate with me..and what do you do..threaten me?

PSYCHO...I repeat PSYCHO.

First of all, I can tell you right now, if you even THINK of showing up on my doorstep it will be the last mistake you ever make.  The absolute last.   Don't threaten me again punk.   That is your first warning.   As far as your family don't bring them up cause I couldn't care less.   This is the second time you have tried this tactic with me.

This is the sign of someone that doesn't know how to take what they get.   You are unstable and need to hit the doc quick.

For the record calling you Rainman is not calling your kids that.   I apologized out of caring how you felt in being sensitive.   BUT that has nothing to do with your situation.  If you had all blind kids and I said that you needed a seeing eye dog because you are being a blind man...that has still no bearing on your offspring.   

LEARN THIS FACT.

I'm out.

EDIT: I hate posting from PMs and have never done so here except for today. Xiaou and I have had some colourful (!)n exchanges via PM, but each of us at least made an effort for the other to hear our side, even though we don't agree, so those exchanges stay private.

genesim, on the other hand, only want to fight ... and crossed the line that I won't.

C'mon wimp post some more.

To everyone else..yep he is still going hence him posting this quote.

sweet now you'll stop ---smurfing--- triple posting.

 As for my silence, I was at work , and had to get some done, then drive. now I don't feel like being in here anymore. Genesism, you are too pig-headed to have a discussion with, you cant differentiate FACT from OPINION so its more effective to  talk to a wall. And before you say I'm name calling, pig-headed is an adjective to describe someone who is stupidity obstinate; perverse; and or stubborn. Also its quite annoying to see randomly capitalized words like I did back there with fact and opinion, and its a habit I cant ever see you breaking.

As for being ignored, click on my name....0 members ignoring me. click on cheffo's name, 0 members ignoring him....click on your name. One of these things is not like the other two.

Do the world a favor, shut the ---fudgesicle--- up, READ about CRTs from sources other then here, get a clue, then post more threads like this one, last part optional. Actually, look at the slashdot article, see the comments ? they explain a lot of stuff that you get wrong and maybe you'll believe it since its not from here or cheffo's posse/clan/kliq/group/etc


EDIT:grammar and spacing

If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

Why not lock this while you're at it? I've avoided this place today for a reason.
