    Should have used https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term instead of gterm for the real flickery tiny terminal experience

      I would have just switched to a TTY.

        I agree, that would be more authentic. Or rig up an actual line printer.

        But I think the fuzzy old terminal emulator at full screen gives you a more accurate view of an old curved, flickery, low-res screen.

        Event a TTY on a modern screen is going to be higher res (far more than 80x24), nice crisp fonts, colors, etc.
