Playing on a CRT monitor, perhaps?
ironically if you took screenshots of the game while playing on an actual CRT monitor it would look nothing like those screenshots
My main reason for using the shader was to remove the pixelated look and jagged lines with scanlines. Personally I'm not interested in accurately imitating CRT monitors.

I've been messing around with shaders for quite some time, what I ultimately opted in for is a simple bilinear filter. basically, all games with a smaller resolution than my monitor will get "zoomed in" and blurred. I did this to have a consistent visual across games that do not support shaders, and also because the brain can compensate for things being blurry, wheras a scanline shader or similar does cause some eyestrain, at least on my 1080p display, I've heard 1440p and 4k are much better for retro shaders.

Anyway, after years of experimenting with different things for older games, this simple method of simply scaling to fit my screen is what I like best. One thing I am contemplating is to go full stretch and scale 4:3 games to 16:9 effectively ruining the aspect ratio, I think it's an interesting idea and curious if my brain can compensate for stretched visuals as well, alas I am not yet ready to go that far :P

Civitatem. It's like a scuffed medieval Rimworld.

Is it any good? I've been looking for a medieval Rimworld without all the hassle of needing all of the mods Rimworld needs to be good.

So far I've tried or looked into the following:
Going Medieval
First Feudal
Clanfolk
Lords and Villiens (was okay until they added gays)
Founders Fortune (possibly the tranniest game I've ever seen)

Only Going Medieval is halfway decent, but still in shaky early access.

Eeeehhhhhhhh...

Its very barebones and feels slow. So my gut reaction would be "No".

The writers of Harvester certainly had their fun:

If Harvester was a cartoon, it'd be on Adult Swim. That's the kind of vibe I get from it.

If I recall right, Harvester was made by the same guys that made the Fortress of Dr Radiaki, so they had a track record for very "humorous" writing.

A good thing too because you can't. I tried, there's no way.

It's a Loathing game, I'm guessing West of Loathing?

The graphics and level design for Painkiller still hold up. Im not sure what even happened to the series, it should be more successful. Granted, starting the game in a drab graveyard followed by a drab mine was a shit idea.

Now that I'm more aware, I can't see Harvester as anything but another Jewish "stable white societies are evil" subversion.

The creator of the purple dinosaur was a devout christian and he helped distribute Veggietales. His death was partly responsible for the bankruptcy of Veggietale's creators.
