The backrooms for boomers
>>220908753>the mouse
>>220908753keeeeeeeeekylol, that'as actually true
i like to make realistic versions of screenshots from old games and it often becomes zoomer horror.
milleni-boomers thought a doom wad of a house was scary too haha

>>220908853i was just lazy for this one
>>220908833>GeminiYou didn't create it
>>220908838that gay wad was popularized by zoomers and YouTubers
>>220908838no one heard of that shit until some tuber made a video about it sperging about how mysterious and "deep" it was. the whole point is that it "quietly went under the radar" for 30 years or whatever, when in reality, it was just that no one gave a shit until zoomers made it popular.
>>220908833Could you do this with Jurassic Park Tresspasser?

>>220908883If James had any balls he would find a game to to this skit in.Then again he might just be too old to be funny like this in a skit.
>>220908753>be kid>figure out how to change maze walls to any image>feel like a hacker
>>220909522AVGN hasn't been funny for like 15 years now, idk what you're expecting.
>>220908833>makeit's a stone, luigi. you didn't make it
>>220908753Correct. That was when the Backrooms had SOVL.
>>220908753>backrooms for Japanese
>>220908753No cap fr fr
>>220908753It's still better than muh hidden trauma aka the Backrooms lolol
>>220908753eh, kind of. most kids wanted to actually explore this and pretended it was a real game while customizing it with new tilesets. backrooms implies they were scared shitless
>>220908753The backrooms for soillennials
>>220909376>>220908910Cope. Everyone who watched and played that shit is like 30+
>>220908753Wrong!!! This is backrooms for boomers
>>220908838How much have they been paying you for generational divide and conquer threads today? You've clearly been working overtime.
>this made the Silent Generation scream in terror
>>220908838Your generation grew up getting scared by fucking Chuck E. Cheese and Grover.
>>220908833RE3 NEMESIS?!
>>220908753Is that Wolfenstein 3D (1992)?Released by id Software in 1992, Wolfenstein 3D is the "grandfather of 3D shooters". It revolutionized PC gaming by pioneering fast-paced first-person combat, the shareware distribution model, and the iconic run-and-gun formula that laid the blueprint for the entire FPS (First-Person Shooter) genre.Pioneered the FPS Genre: It codified the basic gameplay loop of navigating maze-like levels, finding keys, and shooting enemies from a first-person perspective.Revolutionized 3D Graphics: Utilizing a raycasting engine, it introduced immersive, texture-mapped 3D environments that were unprecedented on home PCs at the time.Laid the Foundation for Doom: The technical success and fast-paced mechanics of Wolfenstein directly established the standard of action that id Software perfected the following year with Doom.
>>220908753the backrooms for boomer is... the backroomsthe concept has always been about 90s nostalgia
>>220908838Wasn't that wad made in like 2023
>>220910945It's an actual screen saver that generates a 3d maze. It's from the old windows alongside pipes.

>>220908753>boomersWindows 95/98 was only like 10 years ago, right?
>>220912454What's so interesting about them, all they do is swim around in circles and shit.
the good days.see you in the lesbian AOL chatroom 32 and marilyn Manson 13
>>220912097>banging alt slutsHey now, that sounds based!
>>220910335Oh shit. We need a reskin of this game to be the Backrooms cryptids. Zoomies would go ape over this.
Backrooms baby!
>>220911799hey grok, what's the hoose of leaves about
>>220913015canada's parliament
>>220910476true. it was an effective jump scare in 1927
>>220908753for me, it was the haunted mansion and the baseball game ones
>>220908753popped my old ass
For me, it was pipes.
>>220912412Have sex asap
i find vast open indoor spaces to be unsettling, even if it's well-lit and obviously a vidya game.
>>220910945My first pc was a windows 95 one I got as a hand-me-down from my cousin with both that red brick screensaver and the free trial version of Wolfenstein 3D on it. It was sovl.
>>220913681>*holds up spork*>*raises eyebrow*Ummm... randumb much XD
>>220914009What makes it unsettling is how empty it is, no people, no activity. Always thought SM64 was creepy even as a kid, although I didn't know why at the time.
>>220908753IS THAT HECKEN ENCARTAI'M GONNA PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
>>220908833>i like to makeyou will never know what it feels like to be a creative person
>>220914009>>220914513>be zoomer>shit your pants because of the Mario 64 castle or the Spongebob ending themeI think kids need to be exposed to at least a little bit of real danger to get some perspective, because this generation is fuckin' embarrassing.
>>220909441
I used to have mavis beacon and go to the sea level just to listen to the music
>slenderman for boomers
>>220914800that is just an unhealthy amount of mold
>>220908753this makes zoomers shit, piss and cum their diapers
>>220908753Oh shit oh fuck is that a BRICKROOM I am actually going FUCKING INSANEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I don't get the backrooms but House of Leaves unsettled the fuck out of me, even though it's not technically a horror novel and has a similar concept. Is my brain just broked?
>>220914885no that means your brain works
>>220914885unc got scared by words LMFAO watch out gramps: BOO
>>220914885It means you're a contrarian
>>220914981Based zoomer retard with no imagination due to sensory overload and constant screen time from a young age.
>you are contrarian if you don't consoom the slopzoomers really are cattle
>>220908753I miss screenssavers. Zoomers can't fathom how comfy they were.
>>220914786I'm a millennial and I played the game in 1996
>>220908833do this one please
>>220910945This whole post sounds like the script from a GVMERS video on YouTube

>>220908753i remember going to a child psychologist when i was 5 and ignoring her the whole time to watch the screensaver for like an hour each time
>>220908782Burnt Peanut for boomers
Boomers: omg is that in 3D? Neat!Zoomers: aaah so lonely and sad and scary, I.. peed ;_;
>>220909759>it's a stone, luigi. you didn't make itgod damn between this and the KotH thread with YTP references y'all mfs taking me BACK to 2006-2011
>>220914819could you actually outski the yeti or would he always homing rape you?
>>220916780Yeah there is a boost button, i didn't know that when i was like 6 but figured it out a couple of years later when i played it again
>>220908753>>220911971>>220912373>>220913526Ever notice that the world started going to shit coincidentally when these screensavers stopped being common?
>>220909803I wish we cpuld get a Blame! movie. It would be hours of walkong alone in a desolate post singularity empty doomed city planet. Parts of Twin Peaks The Return reminded me of it. That stop motion movie Junkhead did too. Pandorum reminded me a bit of Blame! and a bit of Metroid.
>>220911971>>220908753I kept it classic.
>>220912373Take to the air!Damn. After Dark movie when?!
>>220917141I never realized how I missed this.
>>220912707>Windows 95/98 was only like 10 years ago, right?anon... I...
What's so scary about an empty room with no one in it?
>>220917159the fuck, never seen this one
WISH WE COULD TURN BACK TIME
>>220917141Man, I had forgotten about this gem.>>220917305I only know it because it was the Comic Book Guy's screensaver in one of the classic episodes.
Millenial eldritch horror.
>>220908753there was a webm with audio that someone posted in gif a very long time ago where the took footage of someone (a cop or hoodrat) running up in a house and blasting black dudes and put Doom music and sound effects over it. if anyone has this i beg you to link me up.
>>220908753
>>220914009>>220914786Yes, Mario IS scary. Zoomer contrarians will never understand it because they have no frame of reference of a pre-Internet, pre-datamining, pre-AI world.
>>220908753I'm old and you're right. I can't find the backrooms scary because that's my version of relaxing.
*jumps*
>>220909722I've been there
>>220917546I've seen my hopes and dreamsLying on the grooooound
imagine one of the rooms having a monster but it plays Doom music at maximum volume so you aren't scared
>>220917599>Doom musicNEDM
>>220914786>real dangerit's precisely because we lacked exposure to *real* danger that we find stupid fake virtual shit to be scary. also lack of guns/weapons training going on your first hunt as a kid, potentially getting attacked by a wild boar, puts things into perspective.
>>220908753Do screensavers like this even exist anymore?
>>220908753>the motion sickness rooms
>>220909803
>>220910476>this made the Silent Hill generation scream in terror
>>220917380>>220917305I still have the box for it too
>>220918200Do screensavers even exist anymore?
>>220919118holy kino kek
>>220919131doubt it, my monitor just turns off after i dont click anything in like 5 minsi guess you can still set it to a screensaver, but i havent seen AYNONE do it in like a decade and a half
>>220911971
>>220908753OUTTA MY WAY ZOOMER FUCKING SHITS
>>220908753I wish the theme behind liminal space stuff was more about being stuck in this endless space with no food or resources. That's a lot more scary than being hunted by a spoopy monster.
>>220919243【* EAR SHATTERING FART NOISE *]
>>220919263>I wish liminal things were all retellings of 127 hours.
>>220909455and here we have our next blockbuster
>>220917447This made Mycenaean boomers shit and piss and cum in their pants
>>220908833what is this from?
>>220919263It looks like this is where it will be headed if it gets franchised. Exploring the actual nature of the backrooms. It's probably going to be like Alien and Aliens though
>>220917455This just proves that zoomers and younger lack imagination. That lack of imagination of filling in the gaps in what you’re shown/told can make any place seem empty or spooky. Not everything has to be explainedEither the castle has been abandoned for safety/they were taken hostage because Peach was kidnapped or there are people still there and they’re hiding somewhere. How you see the castle in the game isn’t how the castle always was. That sign makes perfect sense
>>220919243I'm a zoomer and remember this THOUGH and I guarantee my score on Lunatic Fringe was higher than yoursMy grandfather got a CD full of pirated software from taiwan with every afterdark up to 3.2 on it
>>220908833>I make realistic screenshots >how? By telling an AI program to do everything>but I made it I'm the one that typed in the prompt!AIfags are such lolcows
>>220912373>>220911971The cheers when this little nibba perfectly hit the corner were always insane
>>220919118blessed post
Nonironically yes.The whole point of the original backrooms was to mimic what happens when games glitch. especially the older games
>>220920184No, not like that at all. I want a movie about a singular person who gets lost in a liminal space for a while and they explore for a bit and after a while they start to go hungry and they don't know what to do. It's much more existential than just being lost in the desert or something because there's absolutely no resources to use or a sense of day and night so you lose track of how long you're there. There's just empty hallways and corridors and eventually you get driven mad trying to search for a way out.
>>220908833wow this really triggered the artrannies kek
>>220908753My niece is pregnant with a new half black baby again.
>>220908753when does it end it keeps looping AAAAAAHHHH
>>220917237Almost clicked that shit before I remembered
>>220908833>make>*beg to daddy AI to generate for you in a way he's allowed toFIFY
>>220910945
>>220909722>The Bethrooms
>>220909803Never thought about that, Blame must be a straight up horror manga for zoomers. Endless liminal spaces and no internet access
>>220917507holy shit my friends and i used to change the character sprites to south park characters and other retarded shit into this
>>220908833>>220909722cool
3rd dimensional gaming is pretty fuckin cool not gunna lie
>>220917802i give this post 5 stars and fav'd
>>220908753Isn't Sad Satan another one? There's also that weird Chatroom/MMO that /x/ played all the time using freaky avatars and making weird subrooms using ingame tools.
>>220920493dark savior on saturn
>>220916157for me it's the exteriors in this game
>>220908833didn't know they were so sensitive about verbs too
>>220908753I spent so much time on the old computers back in the day that I actually used to dream in 8-bit graphics in 3-bit colour, (that's only a choice of 8 colours to you fags, black, yellow, cyan, magenta, green, blue, red, and white).I'd be happy living in a VR environment like that just due to nostalgia. There's something so cool about bright primary colours like that. I actually hated the 16-bit era when the graphics got technically better, but they looked shaded and muddy, (while still being blocky but with an ugly 'rounded blockiness'. There was one of these 'shades of brown' eras back then because of it too.I just liked the pure green grass, deep blue water, and pure white ice, etc. Especially when it came to landscapes. Everything is so easily identifiable, bright, and 'pure' looking. Dreaming in that colour palette is a hella comfy.It's a wonder someone didn't come up with some kind of Backrooms type liminal shit back then considering how stark the scenes necessarily were just due to a lack of computing power. Also notice how many liminal images have a tendency to use strong primary colours and a limited palette. Like the original Backrooms yellow wallpaper is kinda leaning in that direction, or at least a more simplistic palette, like if you compress a jpg with enough lossy compression you'll wind up with very few different colours and shade variation.Picrel compressed to only use 11 colours and you can't see a lot of overall difference. Though the software I used used black to shade with stippling.
>>220908883>>220909759When you bake a donut, you don't actually create the dough neither warm it with your hands.You mix a bunch of stuff and the oven bakes it.
>>220914687>>220916442>>220920802Artniggers get the rope
>>220920842HAHA I KNOW RIGHT
>>220925126I don't remember an eight color scheme. CGA was four colors, EGA was sixteen and VGA was 256. CGA had all the colors EGA had but could only display any four at a time.
>>220915017I think it's a joke bro
>>220924909ye but do that one >>220916157
>>220917141It makes no sense though. It's as if those starts are actually really tiny dots that pass really close to you, instead of massive fireballs far away
>>220927037They are really small anon, big science is selling people lies
>>220908833you didn't make shit retard
>>220908833Congratulations on practising a relevant skill that enrages the luddfags
>>220922025Your niece fucks white guys?
for me its ns_eclipse
>>220926612The cheers when you rope will be insane too :)
>>220928134not very tolerant, you wouldnt post this on reddit...
>>220917447I hate political cartoons.
>>220908753true lmao
>>220920508It has nothing to do with imagination. Suspending disbelief is one thing, a giant building of empty quiet rooms is just creepy on an instictive level.
>>220928330https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03yL_JCeQBI
>>220908753not really, as this didn't instill existental dread in us like similar themes do for zoomers for some reason. >Is that an empty room?>AAAAAAAAHHHH NIGGERMAN SAVE METhe windows maze was comfy, and was amazing to have something 3D on your pc
>>220926351and when you bake stuff you must get a faggot robot to mix it and put it in the over for you.
>>220928884Now that is a pool room I can get into.Actually, I found a Japanese book about it.
>>220909722>player cock testing hallTodd-sama...
The apartment that pool is in is really nice.
>>220908833>i asked a tool other people made to change a screenshot of a game that other people madeYeah, you sure "made" something bud
>>220930302i also generated many (You)s
>>2209266694 and 16 colours have a similar feel, especially when something like a C64 is not using all available colours, but 8 colour has a particular quirk to it:https://youtu.be/WrOwZhzpNuk?t=109Beachhead BBC micro, (3-bit):https://youtu.be/WRPEf8IEZv0?t=141Beachhead C64 (4-bit):https://youtu.be/Ex9mchOPG1o?t=278At least the BBC Micro was effectively 3-bit colour since it had a quirky system for colour display that included 8 solid + 8 'flashing' colours, (solid red was different to flashing red). So technically 16 colour but effectively 8.The funny thing is, I barely played any games on it at all, just spent a lot of time programming shit, and was also exposed to true 16-colour systems, but in my dreams my brain would use 8-colour. Like I'd be walking along a yellow road surrounded by green grass beneath a cyan sky with a yellow sun and white clouds, come to a blue lake with white shimmer dots/lines, etc. There really is something comfy/liminal about oversimplified reality.Could be part of the appeal of Minecraft, though that has that brownish dull look I'm not a fan of, and I never actually played it before either. What I'm talking about is more an inversion of that when you have simplified colours but less blockiness.I got AI to make something like what I mean, but it cheated by making stipple grey and black outlining shit spoils the effect a little. But you get the idea.
