Why do zoomers have fake nostalgia for 90's vidya?
>>730677984>>730677984Because fake 90s vidya is still better than whatever is being released nowadays.
>>730678367Holy FPBPhow are the zoomoid zillenials going to rebut this one?
>>730677984>haha zoomers are so retarded, all they do is play shitty modern slop and none of the based games from my childhood>NOOOOO!!! WHY ARE ZOOMERS PLAYING GAMES FROM MY CHILDHOOD!!!
>>730677984>beige cases with disgusting glass panelsI think I'm going to be sick, why ruin something like that
>>730677984Because old tech was ass but it was charming both by visuals and sounds. https://youtu.be/miZHa7ZC6Z0
>>730677984>fakeI was house poor as a kid (lol 2008) so all my games were handmedowns from my uncle.
>>730678367/thread
>>730678463malding incel moment
>>730677984I was a 90s kid and I have nostalgia for the 80s still. Nostalgia isn't really the right word come to think of it, but it's definitely a sort of longing and an appreciation for the style and culture of the time period. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
>>730678367Based. 90s and early 2000s were full of life
>>730680197I remember going straight to my favorite game store after school to play the halo demo stand
>millennial find some random ass young person post a PSP or play some old ass game>GUIZ LOOK THE ENTIRE GENERATION IS LIKE THIS, THIS PROVES MY CHILDHOOD WAS THE BESTEST!!!!!!!!stop making these shitty threads already
>>730678367Holy shit you destroyed OP
idk. honestly it just looks cool. im not a zoom tho
post an actual fake 90's case and not the faggy shit you posted faggot op, oh i guess not since you ran away with your dick between your legs after getting btfo by the first post
>>730678409Those beige cases were not made with user manageability in mind. I had an old compaq Pentium III PC with no ventilation other than the shroud to the PC and maybe the PSU's exhaust, but the thing was metal and just touching the back would give you a jolt.
why wouldn't you just use an old case if you wanted to do this?
>>730678367>>730678409>>730678463reddit top comments ahhh niggers
>>730683743Shit airflow
>>730683743>why not use some old yellowed to hell shit not made to fit modern components instead of an actual good premium case thats just styled like an old one from the outsideKEK
>>730677984>retro case with a glass panel and LCD display baked into itsickening
>>730683972you say that like retro troons don't love yellowed plastic(for pc parts.... never EVER for the heckin funko pops!!!!)
>>730683743modern parts really arent well designed for old cases. sure you can tinker with it until the parts fit but i'd rather have something already designed well for modern parts as well as being brand new
well I have real nostalgia for the 90s so I can't blame them
>>730684102I don't know if I count as a "retro troon" but I'm a millenial, my first consoles were a SNES and GBC, I don't really like the look of yellowed plastic and I think the grey indigo color scheme of the NA SNES is the coolest looking shit ever
Oh you don't know how deep this rabbit whole goes...
vgh... we need to retvrn
>>730684587now this type of shit i dont get. like this is just blatantly just weird ass zoomer behavior.
>>730684587>>730684858These kind of autists have existed forever, even before computers.
>>730684905But its kind of lame
>>730677984not really fake nostalgia, I grew up with 80's and 90's vidya because of my Dad.millennials are just obsessed with zoomers interests for whatever reason.
>>730684587>>730684858first off >blueskylmaosecondly, doing this isnt too out of the ordinary if it genuinely interests you. whats retarded and gay is posting about it online for free internet points especially on bluesky lol
>>730685085I guess I just have an innate disgust for all types of collectionslop
>>730684858Zip disks can be useful for moving files between modern and ancient systems.If he's using it for hipster reasons (likely, bcause he mentioned the beige) he can fuck right off.
>>730677984>90's style front>but with glass side panel and rgb and no disc drivegross
>>730685135at some point i agree with you, this shit can quickly turn a manchild into being a hoarder. you gotta balance your interests and dont let it take over your life
>>730677984I can get faking the floppy drive, it's completely obsolete tech that has almost no use today, but why would you fake the optical drive? Optical drives are still used. You can get a real one with a beige cover for a few bucks.
>>730677984
>>730683848Answer the fucking question.
>>730677984unironically kino, the 90s cant keep a color scheme hostage, good on zoomers doing whatever they want and not giving in to cranky geezers on 4chin
>>730685552>retro tech>holds up a PSP
>>730684587
>>730677984It was the peak of human civilization. Also those look terrible.
>>730685784I wonder how many of them had it just given to them by their dad and then they barely touched it.
>>730685859imagine trying to gatekeep something as corny as video games
>>730685552>>730685784See>>730680374
I love zoomers buying retro consoles because they're retarded and naive and will overpay for pretty much anything.They'll also pay an additional premium if I ship shit the same day because they're impatient.
>>730685552
Of course the retards on /v/ fall for generational warfare and Indian/AI written articles based on a single image found on Twitter. You're hating a group because a puppet show is being put on with them as the villain. And all the villain is doing is liking what you liked. I grew up loving things made decades before I was born. TV programming in the 90s was loaded with syndication. Acting like you didn't just makes you a fag.
>>730685085Twitters over lad. It has a button to generate CP, if you are still down with that shit you might be on an FBI watch list.
>>730677984Fake? They're the ones drowning in ports and remasters as far back as 7th generation, possibly sooner iirc
>>730678367ZASED
>>730677984You realize that in the 90s we were obsessed with 70s retro, right?
>>730677984that side panel window and led eye cancer is like putting a spoiler on a model t
>>730686452>zoomers not understanding what gate-keeping actually meansWhy do you retards dilute words so much?
>>730683265I read that as a the FLOP2
Cowboy Bebop predicated this. His shop actually looks like my basement.
>>730690968no they weren'tt. lived it
>>730677984It's anemoia/romanticism. You can't be nostalgic for a time that you never lived during.
>>730677984>Glass panel>Fake floppy and cd/dvd/bluray rack>Tranny keyboard
>>730677984Cause it wasn't the wild west like before, but there was some cool advancements and tech going on at the time
Bro have you ever fucking PLAYED an old video game on a CRT?It's unreal how much clearer and playable it is. Idk how millennials got old on the flat tech meme. Old tech was better, it had more sovl.
>>730683265Aside from the hideous fake floppy 5.25 bay covers, I appreciate that there's a new case that doesn't have a glass or acrylic side panel. That's actually pretty tasteful.
>>730677984>have an opportunity to get zoomers into decent games and not repeat the stupid mistakes you did that led us to where we are now>N-NO YOU GOTTA PLAY MORROWIND AND FALLOUT, IF A GAME IS OLD THAT MEANS IT CANT BE SLOP, MY CHILDHOOD IS SPECIAL/v/ is an absolute joke and the seething retards that run this place are desperate for history to repeat itself
>>730687049Fargoth lookin ass
>>730692417>Idk how millennials got old on the flat tech meme.We saw:>no scanlines>no crt bleed>just direct pixels without noise>less power consumption>no need to degauss>atop of a form factor that didn't need two people and a dolly to move from place to placeIt was pretty easy to see the upsides while being blind to the downsides, and after a while, it became embarrassing to be the only person on the block that still has a big, chunky CRT. If you were refurnishing, all of the furniture stores were updating to accommodate flatscreens and flat panels, and the big wooden entertainment centers stopped being a thing in favor of single flat-surface dresser-style centers.It wasn't just being sold on one single aspect of media, the technology reshaped the living room dynamic entirely. I'm not celebrating any of this, mind, so much as it's what I explicitly remember when I finally moved out of my parents' place in 2001 and I saw this shit happening firsthand.
>>730692968CRTs are mostly just bad. If you really want to see how far technology has come play ori will of the wisps with hdr and 1440p+. That game looks fucking amazing. The technology is simply being used the wrong way. CRTs are really only useful insofar as properly displaying dithering in old games, but obviously new games don't use those techniques because, well, why would they. And obviously games look better than ever, just look at these rendershttps://youtu.be/D0d2gC0zzkULike something like Command and Conquer gets totally blown the fuck out by this, Westwood never made anything that looks this good and they were the kings of this sort of thing. And it looks best on modern high resolution display.I think shitposters on /v/ just selectively ignore everything new that looks great.
>>730692570problem is, most of the "good" games of the past are solid stories that lasted in my mind for 30+ years, while the shit gameplay vanished days later.but more modern games have then redone those stories, or stolen them outright, and done them with better gameplay.so what was once a REALLY interesting and surprising story about betrayal is now "ANOTHER game where the mentor is actually the villain, lame", because the first game literally invented the trope that the newer games ran into the ground.and a zoomer/whatever the newer ones are called aren't going to slog through half-life 2 to experience the outstanding development of "video game physics", let alone some story heavy game like return to zork or dust: wired west.even the more recent stuff only get 'consumed' as someone else streaming the game and explaining the lore with the bonus of hindsight, 3 additional pieces of media, and information from the creator 20 years after the fact.
>>730693702Honestly, the only thing I really miss from CRT are the refresh rates. Flat panels have been the norm for two decades, and we're only just now getting refresh rates comparable to what we had as the norm 30+ years ago.I still have a couple of my old CRTs, but I don't really feel that compelled to use them unless I'm explicitly wanting to revisit some old norm as a novelty.>"yep, that's a crt alright"
>>730693702but i dont want to play factorio right now, i want to play donkeykong, and playing it on my monitor looks wrong compared to how real it looked on my parents 16 inch crt.
>>730694298The time to play donkey kong was 20+ years ago, it's time to let go of childish things and git gud.
>>730694541i dont want to git gudi want to git banana
>>730694234I stopped reading your post at "stories"
the problem is that all of the CRTs left are the ones that were magically perfect.I grew up with CRTs and they were fucking shit until you got lucky and found a good one. Most people trashed the shitty ones and kept the magic CRTs with a perfect picture.Those are all that's left. It's a similar reason to people claiming old cars were always better, because the 80s/90s cars you often seen online are well maintained. Reality is the 80s/90s had a fuckton of horseshit cars.Remember 90s chevy interiors? They were fucking terrible.
>>730694617Boring, you're just scraping the barrel of the past for casual slop to consume, eventually you'll get bored of old games too. Can't just brainlessly consume forever.
>>730677984Why did every European power larp as the Roman Empire?
>>730684587>rabbit whole
>>730678367FPBPNotice how the zoomers have no response for this
>>730694897You'll shit your pants and cry like a baby if I respond to this. And you don't deserve recs either because you never play anything and have shit taste to begin with.
>>730684858Old and outdated tech is interesting. It serves no practical purpose in the current year, but its a neat relic of how things were, and its fun to mess around with. Surely you have some pointless hobby that you do just for fun.
>>730685290The disc drive is what's really unforgivable here.
>>730691761Saying the opposite of what I said doesn't make what I said wrong
>playing and evaluating old games in the present day is stolen valor>you WERENT THERE>THATS NOT YOURS
>>730691651can you post a screencap that isn't made for ants?
