>This feelThe feel of a fake, staged photo meant to look like it's from the late 90s?
>>719374634Prove it>>719374554No
>>719374461I want to go back.
>>719374634there are several pics exactly like this in my family photo albums. It's a good recreation if so.
>>719374461>this used to be every friday night into the weekend
>>719374461I've talked about his on /pol/ yesterday, but I think the reason why this era feels so cozy is because of the camera quality. 80s-2000s Polaroid/grainy pics have this certainly feel to it. Maybe they make the colors pop? Idk but something about current day high def camera quality feels soulless and sanitized.I unironically believe that depression rates among zoomers might drop if society as a whole went back to using cameras from that era.
>>719374461I still do this once or twice a week. I got a kid now whos finally old enough to play games with my friends too.

>>719374461>shoes in the middle of the room and not at the front entrance
>>719374852weird, I was watching a tribute to king cobra jfs last night and saw a super old clip of him. It had that y2k era softness to it. Of course it's just a camera/nostalgia thing but for some reason that's what it felt like back then too. And now I see the world very vividly. Sanitized. Clinical.
>>719374461Were houses in the 90s really painted inside like this? I thought Rugrats was just a stylized cartoon
>>719374852>>719374461>>719375032Yeah this is it. It's almost entirely about the camera. If OP pic was taken using a smartphone cam it won't evoke that same comfy feeling. Is it a purely nostalgic thing or was there something about old cameras that made them better than new ones? I
>>719374461>wake up first>have breakfast with my friend's single mom while he's sleeping like a baby >she asks me if I have a girlfriend
>>719375032>Sanitized. Clinical.Yeah that's what I meant when I said that depression rates might unironically drop if everyone went back to using old cameras. It unironically makes it feels like you're living it.
>>719374775This makes no sense, Link likely married Malon in OoT after being sent back and nothing happens at the end of WW, Ganon dies, things go back to normal, Link goes back to his life and continues to be friends with Medli.
>>719374852Maybe one of the Fuji filters might scratch the itch?
>>719375510Nohttps://zelda.fandom.com/wiki/Hero_of_Time#The_Hero_of_Time's_Terrible_Fate
>>719374852Thats def an aspect, but for everyone who lived in it, the world was so much different and it was cozier. Connections with people were so much realer, politics was something you could generally tune out, computer tech was going crazy and it felt like every day something incredible was being put out into the ether, and last but not least, we all still had massive buying power even if you were working a part time job for minimum wage and things were affordable. We still had well founded hope for the future. Now things are just rough around the edges everywhere and we've all finally seen behind the curtain. We're in the future now, and its nothing like we expected. Everyone is aggressive, hungry, broke. Even the middle class is suffering. And what was once hope is now despair as we drift further and further from our dream, like being trapped in a car with no brakes and poor steering heading towards a cliff.
>>719374461>mario 64 puts an entire room of children to sleepSeems about right.
>>719374461It's never coming backEvery good moment we've ever had is just an increasingly distorted memory and then we pass to the next stage of this eternal trap.
>>719374461>shoes indoors.That room must fucking stink. I bet there's a dog in there somewhere too.American's are disgusting.
>>719375850None of your economics is actually true but thats your brain on pol.
>>719374634Everything about this picture is period correct. In fact the only thing edited into this picture is whats on the tv. There is no game in the n64.Which makes sense because no one would reset the game and leave it on and go to bed.
>>719376119Nice try zoomie, but don't even understand your own chart.
>>719374461>The feel of a fake, staged photo meant to look like it's from the late 90s?Yeah could be fake, unless you're purposely adjusting your cameras shutterspeed to match that of the refresh rate of the CRT tv, you won't get a pic like that.tl;dr mite b fake mite not be
if you want this feel you have to play Procreation>inb4 co-op friendslop
>reminiscing when you were a child living under the boot of the how dare you disagree generation No.
>>719376119Okay, so zoomie median income is approximately 40,000 dollars at age 20. That's, what, 15 dollars an hour? It sounds high if you don't count fucking INFLATION and just look at the raw numbers like a braindead retard.Of course the numbers are higher, the cash supply is getting inflated. The actual buying power of those dollars has constantly decreased for the past 80 years. Older generations got more effective buying power per hour than younger ones, and had more access to schooling, housing, luxuries, and so on without going into massive debt.
>>71937627164 has no game, Dino poster seems off, kid 3rd from the right has 2 left arms.I thought it was real till someone mentioned the 64.
play some shenmue :)
>>719376484the graph says "2019 prices" so it's supposedly controlled for inflation
>>719376484>2019 pricesWhy are the most uneducated retards always the most confidently incorrect. We both know you are poor and too dumb to get into college, furthermore take a single econ course. Yet here you are, calling others retards, bizarrely angerly, becuase it goes against your poltarded narrative. Absolute pottery.Best part is you actually thought inflation was that low that incomes were 35k in 1975... Yikes!
Reminder you can go back at any time. You just have to really want to. Sell everything modern you have. Stop using smartphones. Stop using streaming apps. Throw out that 4k flatscreen and get yourself a CRT. Decorate your room or whole house in a 2000s style. Only play older games and watch older media. I feel like if most people who grew up in this era did this they would be a lot less depressed about whatever trivial shit goes on in their life. Sometimes the best way to move forward is by going backwards. An example of this, oddly enough is the whole Cracker Barrel logo controversy.If you suddenly started living this lifestyle you'll find that you have more money because you aren't constantly spending it on new pointless shit and you'll be happier because you're living your nostalgia.
>>719376748>bizarrely angerlyFucking kek
>>719376832No, you can't. It wasn't about the products.
>>719376180there are multiple N64s in the picture and one has a cartridge in it
>>719374852>current day high def camera quality feels soulless and sanitized.With film-cameras, the effects of the photons of light at that moment in time are captured on the film, only really being lost once once the image is turned from the a negative into a photograph. Unless it's a Polaroid which captures and processes all in one.With digital cameras it's all 1's and 0's, everything is lost during conversion.I think for that reason, film photography has a genuine soul, plate photography even more so..
>>719376849Nice try zoomie, but don't even understand
>>719376878You say that and I already know what you mean, but you can still capture a sliver of that nostalgia and that enough will be worth more than living in this modernist slop hellhole. Yeah you won't magically be a kid again and you can go back but no one will be there but it's still worth going back to.
>>719376832the food and prices aren't the same bros
>>719374461This just looks fucking gay
>no more blockbuster and pizza nights
>>719374461what is that red power cord even going to?
>>719377138Turns out you'll have more money if you aren't spending it on new "AAA" slop and gachashit
>>719377446>more money but everything is more expensive
>>719377282
>>719377446To be fair, consumer goods and entertainment have gotten significantly cheaper since the 90s while the most expensive part of being alive in 2025 is rent, food, insurance, etc.
>>719374461>You will never be a kid again, skateboarding with your friends outside the community center>You will never get to play against every kid in your town again in little league>You will never be carefree again, not worrying about marriage, buying a home, and your job.
>>719374461>shoes indoorsDo white's really?
>>719376748>inflation can be "adjusted" for by scaling by one number only and the government would never ever lie about it
>>719376832It's not the same.>nothing new to look forward to>none of the stores or restaurants as you knew them exist>everytime you leave, it's a brown majority hellscape>you're all alone
>>719377750oh yes
>>719377750Our yards aren't covered in needles and dog shit so we can safely walk in our house after wiping our shoes on the door mat.
>>719377786>nothing new to look forward toIf you suddenly started playing only 2000s games and only watching 2000s media you wouldn't get through a fraction of them in your lifetime>none of the stores or restaurants as you knew them existPersonally the only ones I miss are Hollywood Video and Pizza Hut's old interior>everytime you leave, it's a brown majority hellscapeThen move or simply don't go outside>you're all aloneGo play some 2000s online multiplayer games or older MMOs and socialize in them or find others who are likeminded about the 2000s lifestyle
>>719374461Imagine the smell
>>719377762Yea, but its still pretty close. It also doesn't take into account houses used to have 1 bathroom and 800 square feet. Cars were death traps. We now have super computers in our pockets. By every metric this is the most prosperous time to be alive but we are too prosperous. Now we lounge around on social media getting more and more upset.

>>719378256Someone who washes dishes in a restaurant used to be able to afford a small home in a safe neighborhood.
>>719375236Maybe fashionable rich kid houses where they make the play room in the nickolodean colors. Otherwise, stuff in the 90s looked like what parents had from the 80s, cause dad sure as hell wasn't going to spend to redecorate for every decade
(you) can go back right now. Remember what it was like staying up late watching Adult Swim? You'd fall asleep then wake up to the end credits of Inuyasha or Boondocks.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2tjIrdNk2ARemember what it was like playing Ragnarok Online and Maplestory. Remember watching some Ruthless Aggression era wrestling and hearing and hearing this on a Fridayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcKIAAtmVfY&list=RDjcKIAAtmVfY&start_radio=1
>>719378256You have to be sheltered posting this shit. Thing have gone to hell for anyone not well off.
>>719378403Home yes, but you are comparing smaller populations to bigger populations. It's complicated but valid.Safety, no fucking chance. You should see 80's and 90's crime statistics. It was the purge. By every metric but petty theft crime is significantly down. Im talking multiples.This is what I mean. Social media is designed to upset you, statistics bore you. So we ignore the obvious benefits becuase they don't grab people's attention.
>>719379027Why is there a sea of homeless people that didn't exist in the 90s.
You should only care about owning a house if you plan on raising a family
>>719379027>crime statsThat was almost entirely isolated to inner cities. Sure less gang violence is good, but didn't affect the average person.
>>719379094Why are you trying the define reality using the most extreme 1% of the population?Anyways we shut down the institutions due to the inhuman conditions and high costs. This is the effect of that 40 years latter. Again a complicated problem.
>>719379191New York is the wild one but it was everywhere.
>>719374461>shoes in the housedo americans really
>>719379257They were shut down in the fucking 80s. This is extremely recent, and happening everywhere.
>>719379341Alabama has a disproportionately high nigger population.
>>719374852i never cared about the camera grain/quality meme but you might be onto something regarding the colors.Whenever i watch 90's-2010s shows they are surprisingly cozy to look at, while most modern shit has that sterile, lifeless and cheap feel to it i cant describe, and adding some grain would not fucking do it because the actual problem is in the colors.
>>719378256how come we aren't allowed to buy deathtrap cars any more?what if I don't want to spend 5x the price on a "safe" car?what if I want to be spiritually indian?
>>719374461imagine the price of that house vs the wage you could make just having a regular ass job back theneven all those kids now are grown up and have their shit together and own property but we'll never get that shit unless we get a windfall of income or inherit it
>>719379886Shit made in China is much cheaper quality. You can find some similarly made stuff from places like the Amish but it's extremely expensive. Also some "rich person brands" that basically give you access to what everyone used to have.
>>719379897I know it's bs, i want to buy a 3,000 dollar chinese van that I could live in and drive across the country.
>>719376180There are two N64s in the frame, dipshit
>>719377960>We don't have dangerous crap on the floor>so we need protection upon entering???
>>719374461Me and the boys playing Battletanx: Global Assault with a few boxes of pizza and a 2 liter bottle of coke until 2am
>>719379886Yeah it's the colors really. Movies from back then weren't that grainy but the colors really popped
>>719376832>me watching tv while the cp I'm downloading from limewire finishes downloading
>>719376832Does anyone sell incandescent light bulbs
>>719375032I feel this when I watch old sports footage (WWE, football, etc), there's a sense of warmth, fuzz, and just general energy to it all that is gone in the hyper clean, bright, sanitized footage of today.
>>719375358And? Did you tap or not?

>>719374775wow it's liek Zac Gorman except not "animated"
>>719374461For me it was playing Pokemon Emerald the first time
>>719377167>This just looks fucking gayfirst post nails it
>>719379113What if I get a house and never have a family?
>>719386845nah, I was just a young awkward retard at the time and it fumbled into her giving me advice with girls. Looking back, that was an actual opportunity and I think she was hinting at taking my virginity. Also she did have a really huge ass for a thin white woman.
>>719374461Bump
>>719374852style over substance. The same reason why a game with slightly worse graphics, but with a more interesting and interpretive art style will always look better than just a hyper realistic game with the generic unreal look
>>719379897a used shitbox is like 1500 for anything worthwhile which is far cheaper than even the gayest and indianest death trap immaginable.
>>719374775>Marin wasnt even real and maybe got to be a seagull>The Hero of Time and Malon are the progenitors of Ordon>The Hero of Winds is for brown girls>Mipha is DEAD. SHE'S A FISH!
>>719380519 It's the ritual, bro. You wipe your feet not because you're dodging debris from a post-apocalyptic wasteland, but because reverence for clean floors runs deep. Grandma didn't knit that doormat just for aesthetics-it's the threshold guardian. The sanctity of socks on clean tile demands obedience.
