Do you remember old CRT screens? I imagine you do. If you were anything like me, you used to wait (maybe even set an alarm) for that glorious 30 minute mark. Because that's when you could degauss again for a real big FIREWORK explosion. 10 minutes scratched that itch but man, 30 minutes was when poo poo got interesting. Longer was better. I'd leave my screen on all night so I could get a proper "THUMP" that you could see and feel in the morning. Psychedelics can do the same for your brain.

I guess what I'm asking is: have you tried LSD?

i never actually degaussed. i didnt know it was a thing until well after lcds were popular.

my grandpa and i dumped hundreds of hours in to Doom 2 and Baldurs Gate and never noticed any change so idk maybe we had some fancy model that degaussed its self

You didn't have to do it very often and a big part of the "thrumb" of a CRT monitor setting up was a degaussing. But it was a cool thing to see and I miss it. To me that's real computer poo poo. A C:\ and a loud THRUUUMB
