I got yelled at one of the N64 Groups on Facebook by saying don't stretch it

Leave that group, and never return.
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Maybe nullity can create a little logo for me.  The wooden indian photoshop job he did was f*cking awesome, but is no bueno as a logo.

I can't even imagine how idiotic an N64 Facebook group would be.

As to the original question: everything should always be the original intended aspect ratio. There are no exceptions. Only utter f*ckheads would argue this.

I can.  I check out the N64 sub-reddit from time to time.  90% of the posts are just collectards posting pictures of their games, all laid out on the floor.

Leave the aspect ratio alone.  Distortion is never an improvement.

That's honestly a lot of Facebook groups. The Laserdisc one is particularly bad. Just 90's punks with their Total Recalls and Ninja Turtles junk all fresh from the flea market, didn't even peal the price tags off yet, all asking if the shit is good despite the fact that they already own it so therefore there is no better judge than themselves. Rarely is anything intelligent or in-depth mentioned.

Just a giant consumerist circle-jerk, then.
