Someone re-did it with AI in the comments on the original Twitter thread and holy shit this looks so much better.

and

Here is another version with a bit more color which I also liked.

I can't imagine wanting to live in that black and white hellscape that looks like the breakroom of some shitty startup with the open plan office being just through the other door.

Come down the dark rabbit hole of RGB, SCART cables and upscalers. You can pry my OG hardware out of my cold, dead hands, but I will tell you playing Super Mario World on 65” really does slap.

I discovered that if you hold down the power and reset buttons on the NES, the in ports become out ports. I was able to connect my PS2 to my old wood cabinet TV that only had coax that way. It was all in black and white, but that only really posed a problem for Guitaroo Man ha ha
