Guys. GUYS. What if...there was a video game...but with THE FRUTIGER AERO AESTHETIC?! HOOOOOOLY! INDIE DEVS, TAKE MY WALLET! I'M GOING TO MAKE A TIKTOK VIDEO ABOUT THIS RIGHT AWAY!
Guys. GUYS. What if...there was a video game...but with THE FRUTIGER AERO AESTHETIC?! HOOOOOOLY! INDIE DEVS...
thats final fantasy xi playonline launcher
this but unironically
please can some indie game dev make some sloppa where im trapped in ze bubble
the only things that come kinda close are ports of games from said era
This guy still makes games doesn't he?
Mirror's Edge.
yeah, released a game called parking garage rally circuit last year
solid little arcade racer
Whats wrong with frutiger aero, noob?
That'd be nice
aren't there thousands of games to play from the era?
THE FRUTIGER AERO AESTHETIC
what the fuck does this even mean? wasn't frutiger aero just high fidelity, gloss and glass?
The audience on Anon Babble for shitting on Frutiger Aero aesthetics specifically are disenfranchised neurotypical 2016ers who already witnessed the flourishing and eventually left-wing extremification of the Y2K aesthetic scene and see shitting on Aero as a way of counteracting that/stitching the activistic seam with the anti-“I <3 WEIRD/OBSCURE THING” crowd
Guys. GUYS. What if...there was a video game...but with THE FRUTIGER AERO AESTHETIC
shut up and take my money
Is there even a video game that look like this?
I hate it when Zoomoid niggers make gay Frutiger Aero/90's playlists and it's all post 2010's sloppa music that's been made by their troon friends who weren't even alive at this time instead of shit that actually encapsulates the eras of this time even if it's just incredibly basic bitch like Green Day or MCR.
What a weird thing to be mad about
Pokemon XY
Don't you mean all those beach games from the dreamcast GameCube era?
frutiger aero era was the dawn of the normalfag influx into the internet and the end of the good ole days of the internet wild west.
Any game designed for Windows Vista.
from that era? oh yeah plenty, even after half of them went offline (fuckin rip little big planet)
frutiger aero in particular, that one is harder to find. i think theres potential for an otherworldly feeling game by making on centered around this romanticized, hyper specific, niche version of ideals/visual identity of the early 10s
Stfu zoomer tranny
Frutiger Aero playlist
what the fuck would even make music "frutiger aero"? unironically my first thought was 2000s new age like enya, or something like the cisco hold music.
youtube.com
little big planet was 2008
christ i thought it came out later than that.
Seriously, how did the general aesthetic go from something bright and full of life to the most bland and simple shit known to man?
Sure, it would be nice if someone made a game around it, but I can't picture it selling well.
wasnt that mario sunshine and wave race
... yume 2kki?
Frutiger aero
This is literally ecco the dolpin
This modern era's obsession with abstract 'aesthetics' that just means 'vaguely similar old things' should be fucking studied. It speaks volumes for the sheer disgust people today have at the modern world and themselves and the lack for any hope for the future since they try to comfort themselves by regurgitating the past over and over.
frutiger aero reminds me of browsing gaia, shady download buttons on advertisements and laggy ui interfaces
the modern world should be better then
The same thing happened during all the communist takeovers in europe and russia. And it's usually because of jewish influence and hubris. I'm not kidding when I say that, art dies whenever they take over anything. Documented as far back as Judas.
so far the only one i can think of is purble place.
That's always the case when zoomies make fake nostalgic bullshits.
Still looks like early 2000s
Why actually research what people were into at the time when you can just grab the first few tracks that come up when you search liminal spaces on tiktok.
Fucking hilarious when the next gen gets nostalgic for 2010s and 2020s.
Things used to be better. That's not bias, it's reality.
Things used to be for white people
Fixed.
Would starfy count as frutiger aero
yeah. games that are a hyper specific time capsule like that tends to sell poorly but i like the small community it creates and could be good for learning a few new gamedev related things. ive been humoring learning unity for a sandbox art project where i throw general 2000s scifi and beach aesthetic for me to play around with periodically. id imagine if someone did make a game, it would be for a similar reason
a lot of the main aesthetics associated with the 2000s is just a shiny chrome version of 60s retrofuturism. most aesthetics feed into each other, which is really nifty. but i do think its a massive disservice to the late 00s to only describe it as frutiger aero. there was all sorts of cool shit happening now that everyone was starting to get the hang of photoshop. like frutiger metro
FORGET FRUITGAY ASSTHETIC
WHERE MY MEMPHIS CHADS AT?
It does make sense though.
Nostalgia moves in 20 year intervals, cause the people 'defining' culture through media are in their 30's-40's and they're nostalgic about their childhood/ youth, 20 years ago.
It's why the 80's were obsessed with the 50's with stuff like grease, or why generational wars online in the 2010's were all about being a 90's kid.
The only anomaly is the 30 year long 80's wankery that's due to gen X absolutely refusing to pass the torch and continuing to dominate any position of real significance in movies, music, fashion etc.
a lot of the main aesthetics associated with the 2000s is just a shiny chrome version of 60s retrofuturism
The 60's were massive in the early 2000's.
When did Fruit-Tiger Aero die anyway
Feels like it just sort of evaporated one day in a random Windows 10 patch
More like Windows 8.
The current style was an attempt to resurrect it.
I think we're better off leaving it a memory.
Early Windows 10 still had the see-through windows IIRC. They were glitchy as heck.
It takes more effort and money to actually design cool shit rather than do flat minimalism like everybody else and corpos have no penalties for not giving a shit cause the people are cattle who have no choice/ don't know any better.
Plus, All this gay 'wow, nature and plants and fish and shit' was a shallow attempt to greenwash big tech corpos before everyone pretty much accepted they're transparently evil and resigned to their fate that we'll all get ball cancer at age 30 from microplastics and never know how a pure apple tastes like.
Mirrors' Edge
What if...there was a video game...but with THE FRUTIGER AERO AESTHETIC?!
There was a game service, at least.
Melting Encyclopedia is a good contender among the modern ones.
abstract 'aesthetics' that just means 'vaguely similar old things'
should be fucking studied.
It was studied, sort of. Read Retromania: Pop Culture’s Addiction to Its Own Past and Ghosts of My Life by Mark Fisher for a great overview of "vaguely similar to old things". Fisher's a dirty commie who pulls out a 0.01% frequency word every third sentence like it's nothing, but his interviews with various 2000s scene guys are sublime. Lots of interesting things with some composers like early The Caretaker just going on interesting talks about angels and memories and shit. Reynolds is easier on your eyes, but you gotta have a bit of melomania to fully "get" him. Hauntology is a bit commie-coded since it implies that you have to imagine a future past the dogshit situation we have right now, but it's a fun thing to use as an analysis tool.
there aint no aesthetic to look at in the modern day, mass media is as bland as ever and independent media is so fractured that its difficult to get more than a handful of examples that fit within a visual niche (and 3/4ths of them are also just aping prior styles)
Retromania: Pop Culture’s Addiction to Its Own Past and Ghosts of My Life by Mark Fisher
You mean Simon Reynolds?
Yeah, i've written "Retromania by Simon Reynolds" and then edited it to have the full name of the book and somehow left the author now. Fucking embarrassing.
You sound like a fruitcake alright
It's fine, anon! I was just a bit confused
Also
imagining a future past the dogshit situation we have right now is commie magical thinking
Grim.
Why is there suddenly some gay name for Y2K or 2000s aesthetic?
implying Y2K doesnt already sound gay
I want a game where you play as the msn people
It's definitely a lot less gay than "frutiger".
Plus, the term actually existed back then.
Plus plus, the font used in Windows 7 isn't even Frutiger, it's Segoe Ui.
No Anon Babble retard has made so far clones of basic windows apps like paint or notepad or file browser or picture viewer, a word processor or music player with the Y2K aesthetic of windows xp multimedia player and winamp anime skin banner autismo of Y2K php forum signatures with windows 7 aero theme
Someone just posted CP again -_-
Fucking take me back.
You just said the same thing.
Does stuff like pic rel count? For me its just the glossiness of the buttons that do it for me
Anon its mostly the zoomers that were born in like 2010 that do that, those dudes didnt even experience the aesthetic in the first place
zoomers
2010
You mean gen alpha
Without a hint of irony I call that Memphis revival "globohomo". It's just anti human at its core.
I always assumed gen alpha was like 10 years old at most at this very moment, is there a official cut off point for any of these generations?
Opoona on Wii.
pic related is what I call car design.
Ecco the dolphin is one of those games you swim around the starting area in, then shut if off and never play it again.
microsoft kind of raped aero out of windows so you can't do those effects anymore
What, exactly, prompted this autistic fit?
Man, why the fuck we can't go back to this?
I miss GT5 so damn much.
Only fucking propgamers had the platinum for this game.
you can just use winamp thoughbeit
Minimalistic aesthetics genuinely disturb the shit out of me. The fact that every piece of two-dimensional media is just degenerating into empty, effortless garbage has extremely scary existential implications. Granted, I am a Homestuck fan and that started back when skeuo was still popular, but I mean, fuck, it’s really not the same thing.
Thats what I did as a kid
Going deep underwater and stressing about air was too much for me
What, exactly, prompted this autistic fit?
Generally a good and enjoyably lifestyle + tech in general and thus "it can only get better from here" mindset.
Its what everybody did anon. I played the dreamcast 3D game recently, and did the exact same thing I did with the original.
y 2 k > fruitygaylmao
I think Final Fantasy XIII-2 was the closest
XIII too
youtube.com
look to the future stop sucking off the past. Make things better
I was talking about OP's meltdown, but thanks for your reply.
I kind of understood this post but dont like what I did get and think you should kys.
OP is probably just rage baiting, it's the only way to get threads running on Anon Babble
K I N O
i have no clue what it is you're sperging about, contextless faggot, so your post is being disrespectfully saged until it hits the bumplimit and prunes off the board, next time don't be a fat ugly nigger when making a thread
Frutiger Aero sucks, can we get to the real meat? Y2K and Metalheart is where the real shit is
You're a fucking retard. It was advertising. It's always fucking doing that. You're a cherry picking mong.
modern era
Art Deco is the same thing, it was a term coined retroactively in the 60s. Nothing you're talking about is a new phenomenon.
No different when millenial hipsters did Vaporwave ten years ago.
In fact, both subgenres parallel each other.
DUDE.........IS THAT FRUITIGER AERO......
youtube.com
The Y2K aesthetic was everywhere in games at the time, but the only game I can think of the had a definite fruitger look is wii sports resort.
dude... never meet your heroes.
Already exists, zoomoid.
I genuinely like this mix of music. Thought I'd share, see if you guys liked it as well.
Been listening to it on loop while slaving away.
youtube.com
Someone’s going to actually do this very soon and it’s going to inspire a million billion indie clones in much the same way that everyone’s trying to make a shitty PS1-looking game.
Why is gen z so obsessed with fake nostalgia?
some fag did the vaporwave game and nothing came out of it
I think you're overestimating how much people care about these
Elaborate.
Good. GOOD. Vaporwave is gay. I hate when people enjoy things I don’t like, and I am not being sarcastic or ironic.
For me, it's
youtube.com
you sound like a faggot
And you actually ARE a faggot, you don't just sound like one
haha zoomies have to deal with pozzed boring shit
is that a zoomie...liking (OLD THING)?????? HOLY FUCK YOU CANNOT DO THAT BLOODY BASTARD BITCH YOU ARE THE FAKE NOSTALGIA! AIIIIIIIIIIE
yeah just ignore the fact that 1997-2000 zoom zooms actually grew up with this type of design you grumpy ragebaiting aging faggot
kys zoomer
I'm actually happy that young people are discovering this stuff and recognizing it as being superior to the shit they have today.
checking these out
i really liked that car as a little kid. too bad it would be considered gay driving one
Zoomoids would lose their fucking minds when they realize this shit doesn't have a dark mode. They literally can't use anything without dark mode.
pure kino
idk idc i just love the hyper realism aesthetic melee gave.
This one is great, already in my list.
Yeah, but appreciating the past still doesn't really fix the issues we're facing now. We're in an era where a large portion of culture is just simulacrums or remakes of the past. On top of this, we have to deal with the existential cultural crisis of generative slop.
omgggggg is this a generation war thread?? I love generation wars!!! KEK, (that means LOL) zoomers (note:anyone younger than me), amirite??? did anyone else notice zoomers do <literally anything> (source: my own deranged imagination). OMG they are such freaks! ROFLMAO ITS SO FUN GETTING ANGRY @ PEOPLE 2 YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME!!!! (lol, i am a middle class american so i cant get mad at the rich like everyone else... becuz IM RICH)
BTW this isn't a marketing thread, right?? i just need 2 check... because i know the 2x speed threads were marketing threads (ugh embarassing...) but this CANT be one RITE??? nobody would ever try to sell me this.....
whatever floats your boat, faggot
t. seething zoomie
Embarrassing.
okay fagman
Uh excuse me I cannot be a zoomie because I used official oldfag terminology like ROFLCOPTER??
Anon Babbletards would rather slap another totally not flavour of the month literally who and totally original looking girl onto a program skin than do something that creative
It's called Anon Babble because they're Anon Babbleay
Melee looks like real life and Brawl looks better than real life. Technology is so fucking scary.
ok fag
Please be kinder to me.
You're right. I'm sorry.
Would Pangya count?
Be the change you want to see, bro.
Thank you.
Fruitger Aero
Why does this term make millennials so pissed off?
Any form of normalfag hates any form of nerd stuff
there was youtu.be
this place becomes more and more like bluesky
yas queen
this place should be more like twiiter and sharty
slay!
how bout skeumorphism?
I guess, yeah
I miss Aero Glass on Windows.
AHHHH TAKE ME BACK
Soulless.
god I forgot how good the soundtrack to this game was
Storm is builllding momentum!
youtu.be
Yep. Some stages gave me bit of a frutiger aero feeling i suppose. Can't say i ever had that word for it back then but yeah. Glossy, naturey, futuristic and shit brah.
I don't think "water and sun" is all it takes to fit into this aesthetic. There are lots of things that fit that description that exist and are being made right now. Maybe zoomers should stop engaging in grimdark jaded stuff like Game of Thrones or whatever and branch out to see the sun and the waves.
Also I'm starting to realize that this is becoming more and more about a "beach aesthetic." Do zoomers just not go to the beach or something?
it depends on whether they actually research the design philosophy or just look at the same 5 images over and over again
(also what games are you referencing with this post anyway?)
Guys they made a IRL location out of Frutiger Aero :D
I really need to go to hawaii at least once before I die.
finally we can be set free from our liminal spaces and unwalkable cities and creepy suburbs...
You can always come home.
Halo 1 has some good frutiger aero aesthetic levels but a lot of the zones are too much like liminal spaces. I get an unironic bad vibe when I play this game because it feels so empty in a creepy kind of way.
Now edit in some futuristic houses with clean white surfaces, without features, just lots of glass, solarpanels and smooth surfaces. Add a squirt of water, some rainbows and more grass.
Hmm, what is the definition of frutiger aero proper?
Halo 1 is a good game.
I like this aesthetic but hate every soul who talks about it or obsesses over this, obnoxious people
30+ here
Is "frutiger" just brainrot for zoomers? Everything here looks like pregnant elsa slop
i never liked frutiger, always found it tacky
pregnant elsa
Lol wtf I just googled this and it low key slaps some good frutiger aero ngl
I'm just mad about the term "frutiger aero"
It sounds retarded as fuck
What do you like?
There won't be anything to be nostalgic about since everything is based on nostalgia and remakes these days
If you were actually 30 you would know what this is. It's the DS/Wii era of UI and art design.
Is this frutiger aero or not? It popped up on my feed and I would have kept scrolling except since we were talking about frutiger aero something in its aesthetic caught my eye. It looks a little similar, no? It has similar elements.
I was busy adulting when the kiddy tendie consoles became popular
The piano 3d graphics are frutiger aero but everything else is flat and liminal space pilled.
Ah so fruity gayro refers to nintendo shit, makes sense
The Vista/Windows 7 theme was called Aero, which would be fine by itself without the fruitnigger
adulting
okay i believe you since you type like a millennial faggot
I still don't understand what defines it. Gimme some key set of words that form the bedrock of the style.
"Pregnant Elsa."
Oh, seems like all the aesthetic connoisseurs have assembled.
Does this sort of aesthetic have a name yet? I just call it "Alien heya hoya".
the binaries are gone from windows 10. it's a gutted version of 7
Oddworld
i miss old word
look at how nice it looks compared to the current one
Um, I own the digital rights to that.
You need to pay me 7 million dollars or I'll Mary you.
bump
not if you drive it like a race car
Fuck I do miss these Blue+Green combination
How do you "fake" nostalgia????
Why are millenialtroons so bitter and enraged by zoomers reminiscing on old graphic design, do they think nostalgia is their special little thing that no one else is allowed to have? I get older generations like to get all pissy in regards to younger generations but this is just retarded.
theres also florida keys
It's a combination of zoomers being fucking retarded and annoying
fuck yeah I love fruttiger aero
It's the OS that does the window composing, not the app
i mean you can still use it if you torrent. i am using it still on windows 11 olol
winamp
the real frutiger aero player of choice was REALPLAYER
Wasn't it also beaches and mesh of tech and nature?
millennials dont even post on Anon Babble anymore. you cannot tell me in full sincerity that there are 50 year old men among us
no idea but i like this. reminds me of old graphic cards tests and mata nui online
Expecting the same board that labels you a troon for using arch for customization to give a shit about non-bland aesthetics
Frutiger Aero is hated because people who remember it know it was the most obnoxious normalfag shit ever. That's why it's seen as pathetic when Zoomers gawk at it. It would be like when Gen Alpha gets nostalgic for modern flat corporate designs when something inevitably worse comes to take it's place.
Is this fruity aero? Or is it something else?
its close but this is more a child girls aesthetic from 90s lol
