Have you ever get nostalgic feeling of playing old games, but people around you are annoyed by it. For example, put a retro computer inside another person room.

CRT flicker is highly annoying and stressing, especially when it comes from the side of the sight range.
For this reason in the past I often have left with some polite excuse, if somebody wanted to show me his Amiga (probably the most flicker-intensive computer ever made) and this took more than the few minutes I can bear.

My roommates get very annoyed when I move my retro computer into their rooms. I just don't understand it!

Maybe Muz is using Google Translate for everything, and all of his posts are just one big example of bad Engrish.

dont forget the 15KHz CRT squeek
But as cyclone3d mention it, it might be the 'hey, did you know Im a vegan' thing.

Sometimes I get the feeling that the potato is near the Excel spreadsheet. For example, it didn't make sense until I played the record backwards.

My computer has feelings of nostalgia. I know it. It tells me all the time.

I don't mind retro computers but I find Muz to be annoying.
