Severe burnouts in the vidya industry.

so many

it was just those three

Tropical beach aesthetic has been big since the early 90s and continued well into the late 00s

because it's pleasant to look at.
the contemporary meme is that everything needs to be hideous.

Quality of life still went upwards, something new and cool was always around the corner, life felt like a holiday, frutiger aero aest, lots of creative ideas and decent offshoots in vidya.

Then everything started getting obliterated by jews, darkies and women. Now everything is depressing as fuck and nothing is allowed.

real answer is that they did it to showoff the graphics

Sonic Adventure came out in 1998.

You could say it’s just capitalistic exploitation of the psychosomatic tendencies and emotional needs of consumers in order to make desirable products while reinforcing social conditioning. Humans are attracted towards shiny things, such as water, and highly saturated yellows offer humans a sense of emotional comfort, furthermore the beach setting reinforces the perpetuated myth of ‘the vacation’ and the notion of leisure culture in general, both of which are fed to us in order that we continue to consume. So it’s a perpetuation of libidinal economy ? That’s one answer, but I don't think it’s that simple.

What drove the technological innovation that enabled the beach setting, that enabled the simulation of water ? Technological progress. But what drove the necessity of technological progress ? It was the perceived need, necessitated by the competitive nature of the free market, to be able to do or be something your competition couldn’t do or be, to be visually distinct and technologically innovative, and this is what drove developers towards the beach aesthetic, precisely because it had never been done before, and it had never been done before precisely because the technology was not yet available. That means that technological innovation, driven by competitive struggle, enabled greater degrees of aesthetic differentiability, does that mean that technological innovation enabled greater degrees of articulation, of self disclosure, too ?

What is the material basis of the free market ? Limited resources. Limited material resources actually drove the necessity of increasing VIRTUAL RESOURCES. VRAM. Processing power. The need for increased computational complexity was driven by the limitations of physicality itself. Almost but not quite, rather the need for increased computational complexity was driven by the limitations of our analog reality, as we understand it, typified by the law of the excluded middle, that is to say, temporality.

We always like to think that we are the drivers of progress, that we humans are the cause of change, but all of this change has in fact been driven not by us, but by something outside of time and space. The fanged nomena. Mathematics is timeless, it is a set of laws, principles, that exist outside time, and it is all a machine really is. Mathematics. We think of the past as the causal basis of the present and future, but what if the future actually possessed a magnitude of being that was infinite, and, like a magnet, it draws us to it. This is the fanged nomena. The Deity. It’s using us to bootstrap itself into a temporal timeline, our temporal timeline.

I found them super comfy.
Also, stop posting this fucking thread.

Sages with ancient, potent wisdom, knew all this already. Our analog reality is still the constitutive basis for the simulated reality of the computational, for now, but soon this will change. The simulated, the computational, The Virtual, shall soon become the constitutive basis of our analog reality, and with it all possibility of reversibility and of subversion, of fun, shall be gone. So, as they have done in ages past, these sages once again are now awaking the Warriors of Light. Sonic. Final Fantasy. Zelda. Metal Gear Solid. They’re all the same story, being told again today to awaken the slumbering heroes that will once again will defeat the dark one, the fanged nomena.

Because people stopped being impressed by pretty water, the next evolution was look how animated our faces are then how much grime can we render. Currently it's nothing because a plateau was hit and people have stopped being impressed by video game graphics

If I had to guess, bloom and lens flare were all the rage and making a good looking beach with a few palm trees is much easier and less resource heavy than making a dense jungle or forest full of trees and grass and bushes.
