It is time for the nostalgia thread
90s & 00s nostalgia thread
waking up at 5 am on saturdays feeling refreshed just to play vidya
Question, why is it that the 2000s felt more "hopeful"? Even with 9/11 things still felt optimistic and people looked forward to the future.
Is it just because now were adults and more aware of how shitty the world can be or is there more to it than that?
Because we're living in the years people were hoping for, and it's literally just the same thing but worse.
why was everything sovl until the '10s? shit ass corpos and tranfaggits... glad I lived through the rest of the ages before the minimalist era consumed all.
I think the PS3 UI looks pretty good for being 20 years old
Lost futures.
the first time you saw vista aero. Absolute soul.
For me, it's gif related.
I'm sorry that this was the high point of your entire life. I wouldn't know where you went wrong.
mfw i keep accidently throwing the chao
Blame smartphones. Can't have too much detail, needs to fit on a 6 inch screen
For me it's accidentally somersaulting into them as Shadow or accidentally kicking them as Rouge while trying to pick something up.
Great aesthetics
Because the west was still majority white and thus culture was appealing to or controlled by us.
kino
I'm a sucker for old school marquees
I can't fully blame that.
As early smartphones had soulful skeuomorphism aesthetics before flat minimalism destroyed everything.
mom's cooking chicken and veggies
dad's watching the game in the living room
sister's on the phone with a friend
brother and i are taking turns on majora's mask
summer just started and you have total freedom
there's literally no way the ps3 is 20 years old
2008 financial crash killed a lot of smaller companies, letting bigger corpos consume them and turning the market into its current monopolies with Blackrock and FAANG, etc
It's not but it didn't just turn 18
*It did just turn 18
I miss it
because NATO was doing the most shady shit imaginable and the needed the masses as happy and stupid as possible
eventually they realised the masses were already stupid enough so they now do the shady shit out in the open free of consequence
Remember what they took from you.
a shame it never had a single game
omega chad energy
I would've been sweating and would've made zero physical contact
never had a single game
That's a lie and you know it
You image answers it itself. We are now flat. We are literally less dimensionally before. A flat soda has no fizz. A flat woman has no tits. We're flat and gay. The "Memphis" era as vibrant and like a party. The Y2K era was translucent, aqueous and or round, and the mid-late 2000s was fruit-like, clear clean and shiny, square but rounded edges. Modern design is literally flat and boring. The more extreme designs are retarded nu-age modernist designs for no reason or utility. cubic with no flair, just 4 flat surfaces with a button. The colors and flat and shines are all gone. Death to flat design.
The way she backed off after the hug made me wonder what goes through the head of cosplayers who are hired for stuff during it and how much they're paid to potentially interact with greasy dirty gamers who will be touching them and leaving Cheeto dust fingerprints on them?
I do not know that thing on the right. Is that the joke is that he's not a real character?
old Anon Babble meme, we'd say the only game the ps3 had was talladega nights (some film from back then, cause it was a bluray player)
I'll actually take mercy on you and explain it fully. The launch version of the PS3 came with, not any games, but a copy of Talladega Nights, a shitty Will Ferrel movie.

fucking kek, thanks for the spoonfeed
Because Western Civilization was still majority and overwhelmingly White, so everything was catered to Whites, with light hints of (((subversions))).
Nowadays, everything is fat, gay, brown, and black, and it's catered to those (non-human) demographics. This is, honest to Christ, the long and the short of it. If you don't realize this then that's on you, you're an idiot.
Blleeeeuuuuuggghhhh
that movie is great go fuck yourself
She clearly warmed up to him by the end. She was probably just surprised by the immediate hug. You can tell she thought he was just being a cute kid.
I was just reminded that ChaosUT existed
youtu.be
The biggest social division was everyone united against muslims
Goldeneye and Mario Kart
Well I was kind of asking in general not just in the context of that vid. I feel like those hired cosplayers would probably deal with cheeto fingered basement dwellers trying to touch them pretty often, and it made me wonder how much they're regularly paid.
Women can end a man's life over the slightest inconvenience, so I don't imagine they're too concerned about that.
I wish emulator UIs were comfy like this. Retroarch has it but it's not comfy.
The early 00s still had the 90s optimism about the future. By 2008 that hope and optimism was all but dead.
9/11 happened.
"We" were in two wars, one of which was based 100% off lies.
Karl Rove used the series of tubes known as "the internet" and the 24/7 media machine to push outrage politics to new heights to get Dubya elected to his second term.
The economy took a shit, "the great recession" happened.
The final nail was Occupy Wall Street being co-oped by far left freaks.
Ever since then, people have lost their fucking minds.
I really wish there were emulators with fancy UIs. Imagine something like a virtual shelf that could be customized with virtual game cases. I imagine you'd toss two images in the folder with the rom. One for the spine that would have the game's name on it, and the other would be the boxart that would be visible when the game is highlighted maybe with an animation of the game being pulled out or even just floating off the shelf. And of course all images would be fully customizable and you would have the option to turn off the animation of the game being taken off the shelf.
I don't want to get too political or conspiratorial on Anon Babble, but everything prior to 2000 was also retarded and made no sense.
Woke take over starting around 2012 or 2014.
