"You’re making it pretty obvious that you don’t know what you’re talking about below a surface level."

You're right because I absolutely do not give a shit -- if other people wanna judge me for liking "Lower Quality Files" let them. I don't care. If you can tell the difference between a FLAC and a 320kbps MP3 - great! Good for you. But I can't. I failed ~most~ of these.

Is analogue better because it can have more "organic subtlety in the waveform" or whatever??? I guess??? Probably????

I don't really care. I personally cannot hear those "organic subtleties." And I'm not going to go to bed angry about it. I like what ~I~ like. If I wanna play an 8bit or 16bit game with a 2xSAI pixel smoothing filter. I WILL.

If I wanna play it stretched out of its natural 4:3 Aspect Ratio and FORCE it into 16:9 so that it fills out edge to edge. I WILL.

AND NOBODY CAN STOP ME.

BUWAHAHAHAH!!!!!
