It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

capitalizing "GUN" as though it mattered looked rather like hoplophobia

I most certainly used a wrong term somewhere, but here’s a caveat: what if you plug your Nintendo yellow wire into the 50” or if you were lucky enough to have a crt with dvi-d or hdmi input back in the day?

For the Nintendo to 50”, it uses a frame buffer. The tv stores incoming lines in a buffer until there’s enough of em to make a frame, then it reads em out and uses different ways of mangling the frame to fit it to the native resolution and turns on and off the shutters or light sources. This is one of the reasons that some old game people complain about panel lag, there’s others, but that’s one.

When you jam hdmi into your cutting edge late game crt, the same thing happens but in reverse. The signal comes in as a frame and the tv mangles it to make it into an analog raster signal it can feed into an electron gun and then does its thing. This also ads delay!
