HAHAHHAHAHHAHA OH NO NO NOMIXTAPE DEVS REVEALED TO HAVE NEVER ACTUALLY USED A CASSETTE
>>738538345oh, they have you doing it counter clockwise
>>738538345Do they... do they think that top part of the tape is a grip? Is that why the writing is upside down?
>>738538345For a game about millenial nostalgia, that's pretty bad.>>738538663I don't even see a gap for the tape to be exposed.
i did with fingers but pencil is probably better way
>>738538345What do you expect from a 90s babby zoomzoom developer?
>>738538345Why isn't the reel exposed? Are these people just fucking hipsters who haven't even seen a casette tape before?
>>738538776Not just that, look at how it's being rewound. Even if the tape were exposed, that would just make it come out and ribbon all over the fucking place.
>>738538776Yes.
OH NO NO NOThey really just fucking grabbed a reference image off of fucking google.
>>738538345any uncs care to explain what's going on here
This game is just millenials being nostalgic for a childhood they never had
>>738538345ive never seen a tape like that before, but google images is filled with stock images of these. i assume they saw le heckin fag colors and just copied it, even though most blank tapes were very plain.
>>738538890Tape isn't exposed. Writing is upside down. Tape is being forcefully rewound in the wrong direction which would just make the tape spill out of the cassette.
>>738538890Nostalgiaslop devs got outed for never having used the thing they feel nostalgia for
>>738538856>just change a couple of answers so it looks like your homework
Zoomer nostalgia will be about that time they donated to an eceleb and pewdipie saying nigger.
>>738538905Most likely late millennials and early zoomers who can scarcely even remember the late 90s when CDs were already phasing tapes out.
>>738538905Millennials would know how cassette tapes work, niggerfaggot.
>>738538890Using a pencil to rewind a casette tape would work, but the analog stick prompt at the bottom means you'd be unwinding the tape. Imagine what'd happen to the right reel inside the transparent cassette if you did what OP's image shows.
>>738538345unc is getting heated
>>738538937The writing is upside down on what
>>738539075Are you retarded like the devs?
>>738539075are you too stupid to see the only thing in the image that has writing on it?
>>738538775I'm a zoomer and I've lived a decade through tapes, vhs, dvds, cds, etc, hell my first console was a ps1 up until the ds released, and my brother's first computer had a floppy drive.
>>738538890They're rewinding the tape from the wrong side, doing that irl would cause the whole thing to get messed up and jammed
>>738538345the slop devs were prolly sitting there like "I wonder what those two wheels inside the the window do anyway" lmao
The writing is whatever, I've had tapes with writing both ways up because I was a dumb kid who didn't think about storage, but the unspooling prompt is an egregious blunder
>>738539063Hipsters deserve mockery when they expose themselves as being performative fans of a "vibe" with no actual experience with the technology they're nostalgic for. Any real enthusiast wouldn't make a mistake like this.
>>738538345>Don't care, still going to buy Mixtape and relive my youth through this amazing nostalgia trip.
>>738539182I don't care that you had a bunch of antiques in your trailer park home, faggot. You are not the exception that disproves the rule.
>>738538345I’m so sick of zoomoids appropriating our generation’s culture and tech. So this is what it feels like when a nip sees some disgusting fat weeaboo subhuman in a kimono with his nip gf. It’s not my fault zoomer’s grew up in such a bland and soulless timeline.
>>738538345The tape isn't even exposed how the fuck do they think these work
>>738539075cassettes writing was always this orientation
wake me when we get to the Real Shit nostalgia format
>>738539054>Using a pencil to rewind a casette tape would workIt would work, but it would be a lot faster and easier to just play the other side of the tape. I only rewound tape with pencils when it came out of the cassette.
>>738539126>>738539130I really don't get it, do you think it only works if someone writes on it in the correct orientation
>>738539221Zoomers are 29 yo already, most of them would have interacted with those things during their childhood you fucking nigger.
>>738539075here, i fixed it.
>>738539284Oh I see now. You're rage baiting.
>>738538970Zoomers just pick whatever they think is cool and then act like it was their childhood thing, same with CRTs and soon video casettesEverything they do is performative
>>738539284You DO get it, since you understand it's not the "correct orientation." Stop lying.
>>73853877590s babies are millennials dumdum, people in their mid-30s aren't zoomers
Why the fuck do people have such a hard time understanding analog technology? I was never taught how to use a can opener and I figured it out, I was never taught how to use a rotary phone and it took me all of about a minute to understand how to dial on phone - like, you should just be able to look at something, mess with it a bit and figure out how it works, it's not rocket science.
>>738539265it never made sense because it goes in the other way in to the player. anyway the whole point of that 3d visual novel is how you disremember nostalgic things
>>738539339It's still wrong
>>738539367Gen Z starts around 1996, dumdum.
I honestly don't remember how a cassette works. I barely got into them before discs became a thing. But then I wasn't into music as much as I was into video games. I think I had this though. I used it to record Chrono Trigger music so I could play the music without playing the video game. Used to go to sleep with this playing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_S6z1LsGM8
>>738539354If you can't prove I'm baiting, then claiming otherwise is simply a concession on your part that you cannot outdebate me.
>>738539495*yawn*
>>738539265Really did no one put a label on the other side, especially for what seems to be a blank tape
>>738539529I accept your concession.
>>738538345That looks like a combination of a floppy and a cassette, casettes still were pretty damn thick.
>I accept your concession.
were the 90's really full of angry lesbians and pro gay attitudes among transgender teenagers?
>>738539270nobody used that in the west outside of karaoke
>>738539404that's a phenomenon I've never understood myself. Analog bullshit wasn't exactly complicatedeven old semi-digital shit like the holy grail of boomer tech difficulty "programming the VCR" was something you could pick up in a minute or two
>>738539615Racism outside of /b/ is against the rules, you'd do well to remember that, and to remember your place.
>>738539419>it goes in the other way in to the playerTapes can go into decks in like 6 different ways. But the original shoeboxes looked like this, and pretty much anything with a transparent cassette tray was oriented this way.
>>738539616Angry lesbians in universities, maybe.Transgenders? Not so much.
>>738538345what the fuck is a casette old ass nigger
>>738539419-Every home theater system and boombox I've used has it with the tape facing down. That text would be oriented correctly.-Every desktop tape player I've used had the tape heads to the front of the system, so the cassette would be lying flat with the tape facing you. That text would be oriented correctly.-Every Walkman and car stereo I've used had the cassette inserted sideways, so no matter how you wrote it the text would be rotated 90°.If you have some model where the tape heads are along the top of the unit, I'd want to see it.
>>738539672Pretty sure mine went the other way to the buttons, it's not like it really matters
>>738538345Certified woman moment.
>>738539464the talkboy was sick. i used it to make shitty mixtapes off the radio/mtv.
>"90's">stomp clap hey music>everyone is a faggy effeminate social outcast>nobody uses "gay" or "retarded" to describe anything bad>the arcades are full of modern indie pixelslop instead of actual arcade gamesThis game is like a dumbass zoomer hipsters conception of the 90's as filtered through the lens of modernity and what they've heard of it from pop culture.
>>738539615Yo me veo asi y digo esto.
>>738539770It doesn't matter, but writing on the tape in the OP's image is still upside down considering the norm of the era.
>>738539673Back then trannies were just guys that wanted to be women as well, rather than a massively authoritarian movement.
>>738538890https://youtu.be/VtLpc_71vtA
>>738539770The exposed tape faces down for obvious reasons. In that picture it is laying horizontally, but imagine it standing upright.
ITT: unc boomers unc'ing out
>>738539672all the ones i used were opposite
>>738539843They existed, but were extremely rare, and called "transsexuals" instead of "transgender."
>>738539741Boom boxes with tape players always ejected tape up
>>738539843I think I heard of trannies a sum of about 8 times before 2010, and it was almost entirely joking or ragging on them, never encountered one once anywhere and there was zero support for that shit. If you called someone a tranny in 1995 there would be a pretty big chance that they had no idea what the fuck that even means.
the game is still rated 10/10 and it's your fault for letting transllennials ruin this hobby
>>738539896>image still shows the orientation of the text being with the cassette exposed tape down
>>738539893Stow it, zunc.
Uncs ITT are just trolling, the 90's were very left leaning and transcore friendly.
Is there a word for this specific type of weird cultural fetishization where everything is very superficial, like the obsession with cassettes, VCR's and whatnot? It's so artificial and forced.
>>738540069tumblr + pinterest = onions
>>738539961yea but the text is upside down
>>738538937>Tape isn't exposed.This one is excusable since it's just too many useless polygons.
>>738539896A communist cassette recorder isn't an original shoebox just because they both have one speaker.
Do you think in 20 years we will see nostalgiacore games about playing with fidget spinners and scrolling tiktok all day while feasting on the finest Door Dash cuisines? Maybe a cutscene where your character watches the GrubHub ad with glee and delight.
>>738540069Poseurs
>>738539987Trannies were paradoxically less controversial because they were seen as a rare novelty and obviously victims of mental illness.

crusty ass boomers itt lmao
when are we permabanning boomers for being too old to post here?
>>738538345How often do you guys actually rewind a tape? These things come with two sides for a reason
>>738540586I accept your concessionAs opposed to your LARPing ass, I actually grew up like that (1994) and had friends younger than me (95-97) and we all did the same things together and used the same tech.
zoomkeks getting BODIED ITT
>>738538663To address this specific thing, there used to be cassette players (like the walkman) where you have to put the cassette upside down.Maybe the person who write on the label tape had one of those, was an edgelord, or a retard.
>>738540689I'm going to listen to side A on repeat and you can't stop me.
>>738540689Sometimes the tape would get messed up and pulled out of the enclosure and you would have to wind it back in
There'a fuckhuge radio like this at my grandparents empty house
I'm really getting tired of seeing posters on here openly admitting to being born after me. If you aren't at least 38 you need to leave.
>Mixtape Derangement Syndrome, thread no. 4
>>738540394Yep anon, you're right. This is completely manufactured bait and not AT ALL the continued incompetence that modern faggot devs have displayed for the last decade. All publicity is definitely good publicity, and people talking about demonstrable, objectively awful issues with a game and saying it looks like shit means they'll actually buy it! Discussion of massive flaws will surely translate to trillions of sales, just as it did for Concord. And Dustborn. And Relooted. And Forspoken. And Saint's Row reboot. And AC Odyssey. And
>>738540069Posers.
Anyone born after 2000 is forever underage to me.
>>738540247Trannism is still mental illness, like actual legitimate mental illness. Body dysmorphia / Gender dysphoria is in the DCM on the same vein as people who want to amputate themselves. But I think trannies managed to convince the people behind the DCM to stop categorizing being trans as a mental illness
>>738540178Oh you're ragebaiting.
yooo these funcs be like bomb mixtape bomb!!! but we deadass be like :skull: :skull: like sheeeesh why you tryna kill our vibe fr
Nostalgia is retarded, if you have been moved in any way by this you are even dumber.
>>738540689Any good tape player had a rewind button and it only takes a couple secondsIt was vhs that was a bigger pain in the ass because they were way longer
>>738539186Didn't stop 6y/o me from doing it and ruining mixtape consisting of my all Queen and Michael Jackson favorites
>>738539438I don't know what's more sad, a zoom zoom claiming to be the most elder zoomer in existence to have firsthand experience of millennial childhood, or a tail end millennial claiming to be a zoomer to be part of the younger gen.
>>738540710I was born in 85. Unlike your poor ass, I had that stuff when it was still being made.
>>738540847Look at how emotional you are, it's pathetic, like a woman

>>738540689Well, back in the early 90's all our cassette players at home had a rewind button, but I do still recall using a pencil to pull the tape taut whenever playback got a bit screwey.Suddenly getting flashbacks of spaghetti tape.
>>738539336The 29 year old zoomers were barely sentient when 9/11 happened, when cassettes were basically dead and fully replaced by CDs.

>>738541141If they lived somewhere where it took ages for new technology to filter out to them, sure, I guess, but that's pretty rare. Those people don't experience nostalgia like this, these are just hipsters looking at analog technology more recently because it's a fashionable trend.

>>738538345you would never rewind a cassete manually unless the tape got unravelled or stuck in the mechanism, it's much easier to rewind using the tape player itself
>>738539464Yeah, I'm a 40 year old millenial and I barely remember casettesThey were something my dad had and I didn't fuck with, I barely even saw or used them, it was all CD players. Casettes are more of an 80s thing I'm pretty sure.

>>738541776Phew, made the deadline by a matter of days
>>738540732That still doesn't address the issue that the top is a solid piece and has no tape exposed for where the walkman would read and play the tape.

>>738541983
>>738541947No. You only ever wound the tape to fix it when it got loose since the automatic winder rotated both wheels at the same rate. This is literally just hipster shit they heard of and didn't even get the direction right, winding clockwise unspools the fucking tape.
>>738542101>cd and digital flash of around 2010Were you living in fucking Russia or what?
>>738538663>Do they... do they thinkI definately know that you don't.
What bothers me is how they claim it's the 90s, but it looks like the fucking 80s.
>>738540903Trannies didn't convince anyone. Corporate suits and the elites of society saw a group they could peddle pills and cosmetic surgery to and have been pulling strings to ensure the movement didn't fall flat on it's face so they can keep their new cash cow.
>>738542251Only western europe got cool tech early (and could afford it), excluding portugal and spain
>>738542293The "80s" as an aesthetic didn't really get started until a few years into the decade, and lasted a few years into the 90s. They didn't just decide on the aesthetic for the decade on Jan 1st 1980 and put it all away on Jan 1st 1990
>>738542293yeah it's definitely not the 90sthe big things in the 90s were, what - pog, beyblades(?), gameboys, pokemon red/blue, jurassic park and dinosaurs, christmas actually being christmas with streets full of christmas lights and going out to cut down a christmas tree, and halloween actually being halloween too
>>738541830If you wanted to record music from the radio you'd need a cassette. I had tons of CDs by '89 but for actual you know "mixtapes" you needed cassettes.
Why do zoomers try to feel nostalgic for an era they never even experienced?This is so fucking weird to me.
>>738542354This, they basically need a permanent regimen of pain killers and anti-psychotics just so they don't kill themselves, and that's before the multiple corrective surgeries they require to keep their mangled flesh from going necrotic. Even at 0.02% of any given population, that's still a lot of money on the table.
>>738539559This is basically like a ko scream in a fighting game or beat em up or conan movie.
>>738542635the current gen has no culture of their own, it's a black hole borrowing random things from every other time period, except appropriated and revised to fit the current agenda. Because by itself, those old cultures would directly contradict the immorality and perversion of the current one.
>Love the look of physical media and chunky tech before everything tried to be a phone>All these gay faggot retards keep fagging thise things up ARRRRRRG
>>738542538The period of the 90s being depicted had less neon colors in the fashion and more earthen colors and plaid.These kids are dressed like alternative rock fans from the mid 80s.
>>738542635They grew up in a hellish post-modern nightmare with literally no chance and no hope for a better future. It doesn't surprise me, and I don't blame them.
>>738542635>>738539356
>>738542778But they're not even nostalgic for the actual era, just some bullshit they made up in their heads.It's like an entire generation of faggy skinwalkers.
>>738542635They have no subculture. No music genres. No organic trends. No unique language quirks.Nothing.
>>73853834510/10 from IGN!
>>738542635because they're realizing how soulless the world is thanks to techtards
keep raging and giving them tons of free publicity, surely that will stop them
>>738542749for me, it's the buttons and dials on thingsI fucking hate touchscreens I hate buttons I can't feel and they're everywhere now because it's cheaper to slap a touchscreen and LCD on something than to have analog controls plus they can fuck with it through enshittifying online updates to make your perfectly functional equipment into fucking garbage overnight.
>>738542926Yea bro, here's your free publicity.
>>738542832Obviously since they never experienced it, they have to imagine what it was like purely based on second hand sources. Again, doesn't surprise me that it's inaccurate, lots of people have an inaccurate understanding of history they never lived, there's little difference between imagining what the 80s and 90s were like compared to imagining the 18th or 19th century.
>>738538345no one was using cassettes in the 90s
>>738543046You were if you were poor. They were cheap and not prone to skipping, and anti-skipping technology wasn't in cheap CD players.
>>738540903People who want to amputate themselves report immediate cessation of mental anguish after amputation.Unfortunately, trans people need both to amputate, and to add something, and the technology to add those somethings aren't there yet, despite 80s Science Fiction telling us that by the 2020s there'd be widespread augmentation.
>>738541947Yes. If you were a poorfag kid with a portable player and your parents gave your a very limited battery allowance. Also in large families with multiple children that had to share a single casette player and they would tear apart your tapes if you made them wait until they rewind. It's typical poor subhuman problems.

>>738542936Co-signed, because that’s some real shit you just said
>>738538345If you used cassette tapes unironically, you're too old to be here, and you should be busy fixing the world you fucked up.
>>738539054But anon, Casettes have two sides. If you unwind one, it rewind the other track.
>>738543147>People who want to amputate themselves report immediate cessation of mental anguish after amputation.A schizophrenic is a lot calmer when you play along with their delusions as well, but we don't do that, we put them on meds to manage the condition at best, and subject them to electroshock at worst. There's strong indications that dysphoria is literally just caused by hormonal imbalance, and can be corrected entirely by just addressing that with the correct hormones. To be specific, NOT the hormones they think they want.
did they really sell albums on cassette tape? like could you actually go into walmart or whatever and buy thriller on cassette tape?
>>738543515Singles not full albums
No-one rewound cassette tapes with a pencil. You could do it with a pen, but not really with a pencil.https://youtu.be/58EitSEFzo8?si=tZzbVmpE44ngWfrX&t=234
>>738543495B sides were almost always complete garbage filler. Often the second half of A side was also trash.
>>738538345You have youtube videos where they show you how to rewind a tape, there's no fucking excuse for modern devs
>>738543661>Devs who cared enough to make an entire game about this shit: "Errrm who fucking cares chudigga?"
>>738538663The writing looks fine, but maybe is a country by country thing since google showed a lot of "upside down" cassette players.He's rewinding it wrong though and any cassette player will rewind it much faster than a retard with a pencil
>>738543147cybernetic augmentation is genuinely never going to happenYou can't just slap mechanical parts on a body; the body is a cohesive whole. Let's take replacing an arm for example. Take a look at pic related, these are the muscles you need to replace so that an arm can move properly. All popular media shows an arm replacement as just something you throw on the stump and it works fine, but for full range of motion and power it needs to be part of the torso. All we can do are basically sophisticated peglegsWe can't even integrate mechanical parts into the body without necrosis and rejection. Skin either has to seal completely or the openings need to be wet mucousy bacteria filled slime pits that kill pathogens.We will have lab grown organs and arms and muscles and shit like that which just naturally grows into/integrates with your body before we have any cybernetics like in desu ex or cyberpunk.If we ever get cybernetics for real it's going to be like a fusion of tech and biology, like warframes, organo-technic

>>738543953It's pretentious theater kid slop by 31 year old hipsters nostalgiafagging about an era they weren't alive in.
every other thread right now has like 20 replies at most. there's 4 threads about this game with over 200 replies each.
>>738543861>cybernetic augmentation is genuinely never going to happenWe already have rudimentary stuff. The more advanced prosthetics we can make have electrodes that read nerve impulses through the skin and translate it to the prosthetic's mechanical motion. The difficulty is powering the thing and miniaturising the actuators so you can actually have fine movement comparable to a biological limb.
>>738543636Hell I would just use my finger, the spokes on the reels would grip your finger if you pushed the tip of your finger onto the hole. You had to do this especially if you had a player pull out the tape when you weren't at home.
>>738543861nah were just gonna use exoskeletons (which are already a thing)
>>738543991Sorry slopeater, but the cassette in the OP is still wrong and done by other slopeaters like yourself.
>>738543953Its another pillar of everything wrong with western "game" developers.
why do people born in the 90s think that they are 90s kidsyou weren't old enough to truly experience the greatest decade to be a kid
>>738543953life's strange but even more pretentious and gaywhy? because it didn't exist until IGN started shilling it (yesterday)
>>738538345you just stick your finger in, who the fuck uses a pencil?
>>738543953it's a movie game where you watch your characters go through an on rails movie and sometimes there's optional quick time events on objects in the sceneIt's pretty much not a videogame

>>738538345>pencil
>>738538345rotating that side counter-clockwise would mess the tape up
>>738538345is this another case of "firing the whole bullet"?
I checked and it's true, the stupid game with mixtape in the name doesn't know how tapes work. They don't even have the hole where the tape should be exposed https://youtu.be/kdhrESUZOW8?si=ppzTc-3Gy0uShEbQ
>Colorful stickered cassettes always used in nostalgiabait ass shit>real cassettes were clear 90% of the time or black/white.>colored cassettes and colorful stickers usually were only reserved for specialized ones for specific computers and stuffIt's really interesting how quickly modern humanity forgets its past and just makes up things and guesses on things right now. In an age where we have more data than ever.
>>738543953Here's unedited footage of the game's climax. It's like if Life is Strange did the chase scene from Heavy Rain with inspiration from Ferris Buellerhttps://x.com/ChristinaTasty/status/2052842068465078617
>>738544184Fat fucks with sausage fingers
>>738538345Journalists don't care. Still a 10/10 GOTY
>>738538890You don't fucking "rewind" a tape like that because the tape is two-sided. You either listen to the other side or just put it in your tape deck and hit rewind.You finger the holes if the tape has gone loose, but you're supposed to tighten the spool, not loosen it up like is shown.
>supposedly the 90s>no player with reverse functionogey>>738543046I did because my parents had a huge collection. Also this >>738543235You zoomzooms have no idea how annoying it is when your parents get off the highway and start driving on a bumpy road.
>>738543513You play around with a schizo's delusions one day, he's still deluded the next day. You chop off that amputee's limb (I can't remember the name of the disorder) and the next day they're normal, they don't ask you to chop off another limb.>There's strong indications that dysphoria is literally just caused by hormonal imbalance, and can be corrected entirely by just addressing that with the correct hormones. To be specific, NOT the hormones they think they want.Sauce plz? It would be wonderful if the solution was that simple.
>>738543809The writing being upside down is not the problem. The section that's supposed to expose the tape for reading is just solid plastic.
>>738538345>IGN agitprop slop
>>738539404The browning of Western society, things that should be intuitive simply aren't when your IQ is lower.
>>738539270A pretty big tragedy these didn't come out earlier
>>738544332Most of the cassettes were white because you could add in labels sort of cheap by layering it on the cassette (usually things like band names/track names) usually in ochre color, while actual sticker labels were something you would attach on home tapes or used band label on black cassettes.
>>738538663I'm an old fag, I can explain it to you zoomers.The tape was on a roller, rolled on the left side. The player would unwind and play the music, as it rolled the Tape from left to right (0-->). So once it was all played, you had the roll fully on the right side. To rewind it back to start, you had to insert the pen on the left side and spin counter clock wise to roll the tape back into starting position. (<--0). Unwinding from the right side just causes the tape to bunch up because it isn't being rolled back into the roller with proper friction, since the tape itself is loose and flimsy. (>--<)
>>738539617not trueyou used to get free video game mini CDs from cereal boxes
>>738544332Yeah most people used memorex or what ever cheap brand you could get a bunch of cheap tapes from and most of the tkme those were clear with a white sticker
>>738544413I don't carry the study around, but there was an example of an autistic boy who was experiencing dysphoria being treated with testosterone, and the delusions went away completely, and came back when the testosterone stopped. We know for a fact that hormones influence behavior and thinking, we know for a fact that testosterone levels are falling in boys every generation, and we know for a fact that xenohormones, like the estrogens pumped into animals to fatten them up, do attach to the same receptors in human physiology. So connect the dots.
>>738538920it's upside down
mix tapes are not really a 90s thing. I was born in 1987 and i recall a kid brining his smashing pumpkins cd to the preschool my parents dropped me off at.4 years olds are not making and trading mix tapes in the 90s especially when cds existed.I had cassette tapes as a kid. I had a tape deck with some disney audio books my parents bought. but I also had a cd player with weird al yankovic and nirvana cds.
>>738539464cool vape
>>738544564...no they weren't? They were clear. Almost all blanks were clear back in the day.
>>73854345230 year olds aren't actually boomers, zoomernon
I have a suspicion the devs themselves are itt :)
>>738539656Cry about it brownboy
Kojimbo would have never made this mistake
>>738543452Yeah sure because it wasnt already fucked up when it was handed to us. Blame the real boomers ... the baby boomers not us
>>738541941before the shopping cart theory, it was "do you rewind before returning it?"
>>738544735Not him but I still have a bunch of mixtapes and most of them are solid color. But Sony ones were clear iirc
>>738544750Suuuuure
>>738544735Blanks were clear or black and came with a sticker label you could slap onto them. I was largely talking about commercial tapes for bands and record company policy for most of their tapes which would largely be white/black and either had an illustrated label or used machine printed label on A and B sides.
>>738544662I was born in 89, I copied songs from the radio onto tape all the fucking time. CDs weren't common place until the late 90s. I don't specifically remember my first CD but it was probably something like Big Willi Style. Tapes went away really fast but they still were huge for the first part of the 90s, same as VHS. I was watching everything on VHS (wore the fuck out of my coming out of their shells tour tape) when I was a kid. By like 99 or so though I was already burning CDs and downloading from napster and we had a DVD player. By 2001ish I was using a generic red like sandisk mp3 player with CDs and by 2004ish I had an ipod or something and in 2007 I had an HTC touch and my phones handled music ever since.
>>738544634If that's true, I'm shocked the anti-transition side of the debate hasn't done more research on it. It seems like such a simple solution that someone must have studied it.
>>738538345I love how /v/ fixates on the most inconsequential details while the entire game is a trash fire not even worthy of discussion. If y'all turn this into gone home 2.0 I'm going to be very disappointed with the next generation of /v/irgins ngl.
>>738543046they definitely were, cars still came with tape decks mostly
>>738538345Doesn't surprise me. No one born after 1985 knows how to use a cassette tape anyway.
>>738544662Mate it took until the 2000s for CDs to become a thing. The Dreamcast was the first major console to get wide spread pirated CD copies.
>>738544662it really depends on the localityi had cds just because my neighbour burnt cds.i still have some of the casettes with donald duck on them but we didnt really use them except when toddler size
>>738543636i literally have cassettes on hand and pencil. you are flat out wrong.
>another non-American game set in America
>>738544920Nah commercial tapes were largely clear as well. Pic related I think this was my first tape.
>>738538345That's pretty embarassing
>>738545023Yep and every one had one of these when you could eventually afford a no skip portable cd player
>>738544125US 90 were the the 00 in Europe
>>738544662Tapes stayed alive in children's toys for longer than most people would think. I have a little sister born at the turn of century. One of her favorite toys was a cassette player with microphone. Unlike CDs, tapes were readily rewritable and cheap enough to give them to dumb kids. Recorders with flash memory started spreading a few years later, so cheap home audio recording transitioned straight from tape to flash. I used to have an MP3 player that could be plugged into boomboxes to rip the tracks straight from cassettes too.
>>738538345>pencil is in backwards>turns the track inward>not even a REEL cassette
>>738545159I also owned this one. Not to mention I remember all my moms country artist cassettes being clear (shania twain, garth brooks etc.) and my dads AC/DC, van halen, etc. was all clear.
>>738544280>gameplay
>>738545178The time of those and CD players is extremely short lived because MP3 players weren't skipping and got cheap quickly and the ipod had a quick domination.
>>738544662It was a lot easier to make a mixtape than a mixCD in the 90s. I don't think I did the latter until 1999, when mp3s and burning started getting big.
>>738543861We have prosthetic everywhere, but people not want replace his hips, legs and hearts with mechanical devices.
>>738541265>>738542007>>738542271Jesus christ what the fuck is this shit? Kill yourselves.
>>738543809You don't turn the pencil inside the cassette, you did it like that
>>738544902Who else would unironically be defending this game so vigorously?
>>738545104>No one born after 1985 knows how to use a cassette tapeThe fuck are you talking you retarded zoomer? I have a box of cassettes, pure gold, and i was born after that year.
>>738545318Yep, once mp3s and cd burners became common place then CD domination began. Until then tapes were everywhere.
>>738545178>chews through batteries like a motherfucker>needs to be held uprightCDs are a better medium for stereo systems and whatnot, but I really don't get the appeal of portable players
>>738543184I miss when they would wordfilter lingo that was getting nonstop spammed.
>>738545159The casings varied a lot by region to region as the companies that licensed for manufacturing used a variety of cassette colors from white/clear/black. My country used to have tons of white tapes, even for most of the Maxell blanks, usually the completely clear tapes were more prominent in the US, where most of the blanks were clear and most companies also used the clear blank Sony cassettes for label prints too.
>>738545178>>738545314I used one of those in high school in 2013 because I drove a shitbox
>>738545005It's not known by the wider public because the wider public is generally uneducated in fields that actually matter, and it's been suppressed by institutions because it represents an inconvenient truth the ideologically driven are unable to accept. We live under liberal ideals where people are who they choose to be, spreading awareness that your thoughts and actions are primarily driven by biochemistry undermines Mind over Matter. Then there's a financial component as well because xenohormones are in use in agriculture required to keep literally billions of people alive, when a loss in efficiency means famine and general economic upset, it's an easy choice to sacrifice 0.02% of the population lacking the psychological maturity to steer clear of decisions that will irreversibly harm them.Fun fact, women's birth control practically does the same thing. It's just hormones that trick the body into behaving as if already pregnant, a side effect of that is significant behavioral shifts. This shit is known, well explored science by now, but dysphoria is effectively off limits because going against it will cost you your career and still not make a difference. We don't live in an age of reason.
>>738545178>>738545314My friend has a shit box from the early 90's with a cassette player. He uses one of these to play music from his phone.
>>738543809Note that in your image the "Tape 2" is upside down.
>>738539221>>738541084Youre either some zoomer revisionist or a retard madling boomer. VHS tapes as physical media died out around 2007, cassette tapes (in cars) went extinct by the turn of the second decade in our current millennium. Everyone who's currently an adult today knows what vinyl, CDs, DVD and even Blurays are. Old zoomers and late millennials, knew what they were. Only seething s oylinneials with no way to prove the contrary will say otherwise.
>>738544617>lying about something like this of all stupid thingsCassettes tapes are double sided. You could rewind it manually like a moran, or you could flip the tape and listen to whatever's on the other side.
>>738545583Before I finally got a modern car I always preferred the FM transmitters. They were way nicer when you had a non compliant one. I used to use it in my work van as well. Burnt CDs got old real fast by like 2008 being limited on songs vs mp3 players and even my phones.One of my favorite tech jumps of all time til this day is the release of google music. Being able to listen to my entire music library on my phone anywhere anytime was so fucking mind blowing in 2009.
>>738545005>I'm shocked the anti-transition side of the debate hasn't done more research on it.If you do research into any of this, you get blackballed from the industry. It's like when scientists tried to present findings that circumcision without anesthesia permanently altered the brains of newborns due to trauma response.Science has topics that are VERBOTEN. One of those is the obvious dangers of plastics, it took decades of work before the industry slightly admitted to fault with the whole "microplastics" thing. Did anything change after that? Lol, lmao, even. The whole "they're making the freaking frogs gay" soundbite came from research into xenoestrogens in the 90s, that's how long everyone has known about it and done absolutely nothing, because we can't just stop using cheap plastic from the oil industry! We'd have to go back to things like glass and metal that cost more and are less convenient for profit margins!
>>738545773If you were an oldfag, you'd know what used to be put on the B sides and why nobody wanted to listen to it.
>>738545698You stupid, ignorant retard, the first ipods were rolling off the assembly lines by the end of two thousand and fucking one and were absolutely everywhere by 05. Nobody in the first world was using CDs in 2007 except the poor, the old and the hipsters.
>>738540862People should return calling others "posers" more, holy shit. Nowadays it's like this word doesn't even exist anymore. Posers are everywhere.
>>7385456982007? Lmao, DVDs overtook VHS in like 2000 nigga. In 2007 we were already regularly buying Blu rays.
>>738545314>because MP3 players weren't skippingIt's not because they were MP3 players, it's because flash memory became cheap enough to have large audio buffers in case of a skip.
>millennishits getting defensive over zoomiggers ittLmao, tale as old time
>>738538663>Do they... do theywhy are you talking like this?
>>738545846Bitch please, I'm old enough to be your dad. My tapes back in the day had music on both sides.
>>738545895Was the game even made by zoomers? I get the impression it was made by 30 something millennials.
>>738546008Yes. Garbage filler music with maybe one banger closing track.
>>738543267>Minecraft, Avengers, Fortnite2 of these 3 things are dire and Minecraft fell off long ago
>>738545314>>738545857Oh I thought you were talking about CR-R with MP3 capability.MP3 CDs were a lot cheaper and could contain a lot more music than early MP3 players for a pretty long time. MD is the format which got completely fucked by MP3 players with a large amount of storage.
>>738545857Yeah, that existed for awhile that's literally the whole reason that was possible at all. Pre discman buffered audio portable cd players were common you couldn't really take them anywhere without it being horrible. But most people were just installing cd players in their cars. Like, you had to essentially be ultra fucking poor to not have better alternatives.
>>738541452They're all browns. Every single one. "unc" is unironically a jeet word.Imagine being so lazy and braindead that writing "uncle" is too hard do you have to exclude two letters. Embarrassing.
>>738538345>The entire game is just ''Look at me le quirky retro thing that I didn't experience in my childhood!''Why do zoomers try to claim things they weren't even around for? do they really not have a zeitgeist of their own?
>>738545798>FM transmittersoh yeah, those were also a thing.>One of my favorite tech jumps of all time til this day is the release of google music. Being able to listen to my entire music library on my phone anywhere anytime was so fucking mind blowing in 2009.the early days of music streaming was great. spotify or even deezer were way better then any alternative out there. These days I just listen to stuff off youtube if I listen to anything at all.
>>738546089Skill issue, tastelet. My tapes were great, on both sides.
>>738546173Nah, youtube(google) music is and has always been the best with number 2 being Pandora. Spotify sucks ass and always has sucked. It's the "text bubble color" of streaming where people only use it because they want to fit in not because it's the best.
>>738545698>VHS>2007
>>738546153>do they really not have a zeitgeist of their own?For what? The huge diversity of entertainment devices got replaced by the all in one goyphones which looked and functioned exactly the same for the past 19 years.
>>738546153This game was made by millennials for a specific type of gamer-millennial that's obsessed with "narrative experiences in gaming".
>>738544617The only reason anybody would ever wind a cassette with a pencil is because the tape got pulled out of it.
>>738545798>>738546173>Burnt CDs got old real fastI do kinda miss the feeling of listening to some random ass rap/new-wave radio channel late evening with my finger on the record button to capture some tune I've never heard before.then rewinding to record over it when it turned out lame.
>>738538345>>738544280so not only>tape not exposed>winding it from the wrong side>writing upside down (this ones not that egregious desu)but in the window the tape is transparent and theres some black hourglass things that moves across as it gets rewound? Like they really inverted the colors because they know nothing about tapes
>>738546359NTA but the last time I ever used a VHS tape was in 2006
>>738546431Maybe they are just stupid
>>738545850I don't give a shit what was rolling off the assembly lines in the 2000s, nigger. iPods didn't kill off cassette tapes nor CDs overnight. CDs were still being made and sold during the rise and domination of the iPhone/smartphone where any idiot could get on their music/audio streaming app and listen to music/podcast, etc that way. Whoever was buying them is a moot argument because they were still present during that time. I still remember a BestBuy, Target and Amerimutt favorite consoomer store Walmart still selling CDs during the 2010s. Vinyls, believe it are not are still present and sold in current day. Fuck you people are retarded.>>738545856But did they die out yet? No. VHS tapes were still being produced, home media were still being sold as VHS along side DVDs and On-Demand services. VHS tapes being sold as home media ceased in 2007 but blank tapes were still being manufactured. Shit even young millennials and old zoomers had to know what VHS were since their schools had them in their class room with a giant CRT TV hanging from the corner of their room, or those TVs strapped on a rolling cart.
>>738546153Because nothing good was created during their own childhood
>>738546453>usedWell yeah but claiming they were a thing is an entirely different story.
>>738546431>but in the window the tape is transparent and theres some black hourglass things that moves across as it gets rewound?You are legitimately blind, this is one of the few things they got slightly right. The middle is transparent, the tape isn't.

>>738545560>>738545812There's a huge amount of money and political clout on the anti-transitioning side, which isn't something you see with petrochemicals. You might have noticed the liberals are starting to retreat from their maximalist position because with this issue they finally hit overreach. Transition for adolescents is no longer the default recommendation.Which is why I doubt the hormones claim. If it was that easy, doctors would be giving transtrenders testosterone vials labeled 'estrogen' and everyone would be happy.
>>738546558>I don't care about what the actual reality was only the reality in my headI accept your concession
>>738545202I used to have a mp3 player with an am/fm receiver...I miss those old mixed tech packages.
>>738546594>getting your first indie game written about on Unreal Engine's official siteIndustry plant 100% confirmed
So what is this game actually nostalgia for? I was born in 1989 and don’t care about vhs tapes or cassettes or anything. It’s the kind of thing my dad who was born in the 50s would wax nostalgic for.
>>738546583No? Are you okay in the head?
>>738546558And no one was buying those, just because companies were still trying to sell them doesn't mean they were a thing.
Why do people pretend to care about this literal who of a game?
>>738546359You are now aware that the last VHS tape was produced around 2020.
>>738546453Last time I used one was last week.Because my parents are selling the house, so we have to decide what we're keeping and what we're getting rid of. So we had to go through the tapes to find which ones were worthwhile.
>>738542007If you're going to insult someone, at least have the wherewithal to be accurate about your ridicule. Stuttering is represented by the same syllable repeated and connected by dashes ("c-can you p-p-please go die in a fire?"). Ellipses are used to represent the trailing of an incomplete thought or a mid-sentence recalculation of that sentence. (is he... is he insulting someone when he can't even identify the literary device he's insulting???)So how about you fuck off and don't come back until you get lernt, faggot.
>>738546153Same reason millennials love to LARP living in the 1980s when they barely have any sort of vivid memory the decade, unless you were born before 1985 perhaps. But then again, I guess this also should apply to those who make stories about the American Frontier, Wild West in the 1800s when no soul alive today were around during those times.
>>738546693People watched Stranger Things and wished they had a childhood like that, hence this.
>>738538345This is how I would orientate my tapes. The writing is the right side up. Especially in older walkmans because you would put the tape in with the exposed tape upwards into the door then closed it. The egregious part is the winding. The only times I had to wind tapes was when the ribbon was messed up inside or had come out. Every walkman I had you could fastforward and rewind pretty easy.I remember I got a walkman that could switch tape sides without me taking the tape out and flipping it. That was pretty amazing.
>>738546752Nobody gave you permission to talk back, unc bitch.
>>738546741Completely irrelevant

>>738546809For me, it's 12000BC
>>738546849Shut your mouth kiddo the adults are talking
>>738543636Nobody would rewind them that way, but it was good to use a pen, pencil, or your fingertip/nail when the tape would come loose in the player from time to time, just to tighten it back up.
>>738546558Just because they were produced doesn't mean they mattered, were standard, or were the majority of the market. They were relics and had been relics for almost a decade.
The only time I used a pencil on a tape was when the tape got stuck in the player and pulled out. Why wouldn't you use the rewind button on the player?
>>738546809Anon, a period piece is not the same as nostalgiabait.It's not like those westerns were trying to capture everyday life for some 14 year old farmboy in the 19th century, they usually had an actual story with traditional story structure that followed something actually significant happening.
>>7385461539/11 changed everything for the worse
>>738539054Oh seeing it like that makes it a lot clearer. It'd get fucked up because you'd be pushing a rope.
tired of these fucking activist niggers trying to rewrite history to suit their needsdon't fall for it, brothers.
>>738546628Except it was reality and you are currently displaying your coping mechanism when you have no argument at your disposal.
>>738546359Poor kitten
It's weird how rare 2000s nostalgia bait is when it's a period most of the current working adults making creative projects grew up through. Like, 2000s nostalgia takes on the form of raping your favourite childhood properties with bad remakes but no one's made an unironic Class of '09.
>>738545318A lot of the 90's nostalgia kids were born in the mid-late 80's so their "90's nostalgia" is mostly stuff they were barely conscious for. Who the fuck remembers stuff when you were 4? Their nostalgia is really for post 1999 stuff, but "90's nostalgia" is in so they talk about stuff they barely know.
>>738547031The fact is you were clearly some stupid fucking third worlder at the time lagging behind the rest of the civilised world, whereas me, a superior first world man, actually experienced technology as it came along, and not a decade or more after the fact.
>>738545104I was born in 1990, and we had tons of cassettes and VHS tapes.
>>738547027the 90's were diverse and queer, chud

>>738546716>>738546950>no one was buying them so that means no one knew what they wereLol. OK
>>738543953its "my culture is not your costume" but its uncs getting mad about their childhood music players not being depicted right
>>738546582NTA but he said they died out in 2007, not that they were a thing. My family still used old casettes and vhs tapes in the 2000s, even though we had DVD. No point buying a movie twice, and tapes were easy to make copies of.
>>738546749You should look into getting the keepers digitized as soon as possible. Odds are those tapes are 20+ years old and tapes don't have a life expectancy of much more than that. Especially not if they're just stored on some random shelf.>>738546873Hardly. Being in production for so long means they were used way longer than 2007.
>>738547185Didn't say that? They had already been phased out.
>>738538663>did they write on the "wrong" side of a blank cassette tape?It did not matter. I will preface this by saying that I have not played this game, nor do I intend to. That being said; there wasn't a "right" or "wrong" way to write it on those things. If you were actually storing them in cases, you'd only see the spine of the case, and when it would actually go into the walkman or your stereo system, it'd be out-of-sight out-of-mind. Only the biggest fucking spergs in the world gave a shit if you wrote on the tapes "upside-down".
>>738546716Poor families were buying this shit for their kids. Retarded kids who broke tech gadgets all the time were a huge market. No sane parents would give them the latest, full-price BluRay players or high capacity MP3 players.
>>738540178>portablefags
>>738547185I mean, little kids most likely didn't know what they were unless they lived in a trailer park. Regardless, never was a point I was making so not sure why you brought it up.
>>738547225>getting the keepers digitized as soon as possibleI have a device at my place that can copy VHS to CD or DVD, but unlike my parents VHS player, it didn't immediately start working when I plugged it in so I might have to tinker a bit before I start transferring stuff.
>>738547220>>738547225Or, maybe(most likely(actually the only reason)) companies wanted to squeeze every single drop the production lines had left.
>>738539961why are you hung up on this of all things
>>738546431>black hourglass things that moves across as it gets rewound?are you talking about the spools?
>>738547323>we went from vhs to blu rayGosh
This is a new low for the indie scene
>>738546479i think thats becoming very evident>>738546583here i made a little picture for your retarded ass
>>738547185>so that means no one knew what they wereNo one's saying this. It isn't polite to argue with people you made up in your head when you're in the company of actual people.
Explain the op pic pls boomers.
>>738546594Weird thing to say.
>>738547473Now, this is a work of art.
>>738545178>>738545314Buddy I used one of those because it plugged into my MP3 player. Fucking stereo jacks man
>>738547495Right opresses, left loosens
>>738547136>derails the topicAh, but I lived in the United States for my entire life. Whether you want to consider it a first world country or not is up to you even though it's been considered as such my entire lifetime. But going back on topic my point is that those old forms of physical media still existed up until the 2000s and 2010s. You still can't even disprove it.
>>738547413He's talking about the gap between the reels
Reminder that casettes as a medium are quite literally obsolete. Both Vinyl and CD are just objectively better.
>>738547413see>>738547473
>>738547495Righty tightyLefty looseyIt's fucking upside down
>>738547428>Game is so bad other indie devs are promoting their own games by saying "our game is nothing like this" Holy lmoa
>>738547473Can you seriously not see the window on the other side through the window? That should tell you that you're retarded and can't read the image properly.
>>738547559Are magnetic tapes at least more durable than vinyl or CDs?
>>738547545No one's saying they didn't exist, what we're telling you is that they weren't in common usage in the time periods you're fucking giving us. Fucking everybody had ipods or other entirely digital media players by 07, again, nobody but the poor, the old or the hipsters were walking around with fucking cd players, let alone cassette players.
>>738547220when It comes to VHS it may be a 1st world thing. worldwide they died like in 2010. VCD even with piracy was absolute dogshit compared to VHS. people waited until dvd players were dirt cheap and never moved on. basically the reason ( also streaming ) bluray didn't do much even to this day. also watch movies wasn't the only thing people did with these devices. record tv was a huge part of it. set the VCR to record shit when you were outside was a big plus for many.
>>738538905Nope. Gen X.
>>738547475You clearly are saying that. My argument was that those early zoomerinis and late millenialninis don't know what a VHS is when that demographic were probably the last group of people those even watch home media on it. No one has proven otherwise.
>>738547657I mean, last album on a CD I bought was in 2007 but the first thing I did was copy the files into my mp3 player
>>738547473What? The dark part between the spools is clearly the back side of the plastic of the cassette because the other side isn't transparent for some reason.
>>738546558>Walmart still selling CDs during the 2010sYes, for cars. Nobody was walking around with a CD player in 2010, you could literally get a fucking MP3 player at that point with 64GB of flash memory for under 100 bucks.
>>738547661>people waited until dvd players were dirt cheap and never moved onPeople commonly bought playstations because those really were cheap dvd players. Personally I was still taping shows all the way up to 2008, but I knew it wasn't a common thing, everyone I knew had long moved onto dvds.
>>738547661>2010Bait
>>738547428>>738547587This was my favorite thing about Sunset Overdrive. In the E3 reveal trailer, during the peak of AAA movie slop like Last of Us, Insomniac came out and said "It's a fuckin' videogame." It was the only reason to own an xBone and I'm glad it's finally ported to PC now even if it's missing some context and features like the amazing multiplayerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_LmilGAhaM
>>738547724the sad part is that many of old cds sound better than many songs on official streaming platforms. is not about quality but mixing. all dynamics ruined
>>738542129>defending assmonjeet and p*do trump>using 2016 memes when this site hates trump nowgood goy. Give billions to israel and make everything more expensive like the asmongoy you arego back to twitch and assmonjeets reddit faggot
my car still had a cassette player when I was on my second Ipodthey were a lot cheaper
>>738547767They were selling CD players too. Last time I bought a CD player from them was in about 2016 since I was cleaning out my apartment and found a lot of old CDs me and my siblings burned while we were in high school. Thing cost me about 5 bucks.
>>738547661>record tv was a huge part of it.By 2010 everyone had fucking tivo, dude. DVRs were so cheap by that point.
>>738538345>shill hard for annoying artsy millenial walking simulator>make it a target for chuds that will now put a massive magnifying scope over it>now you can make more clickbait articles about the scary white chud epidemic and make a desperate buck in your dying industry>original game still dies anyways
>>738538345i saw an image in the ign review with a fucking cd-r and cd-rs and cassettes really weren't knocking around at the same time. you already swapped to cds before cd-rs were even a thing.
>>738545853cant shake the feeling that the word stopped being used because corporations pushed towards opening the floodgates in every hobby to increase the amount of potential buyers.>>738540197probably not because culture is pretty much stuck.some try to nostalgia post about the 360/ps3 era but it doesnt stick and comes across as hollow because mainstream games have all been the same shit since then.GTA5 is a fucking PS3 game.
>>738547647Most people here wouldn't admit it, but tapes were a little more retard-proofed than CDs. Other than turning them into spaghetti or overwriting them, it wasn't that easy to damage them. You know how retards would constantly scratch the CDs the minute they took them out of the box.
>>738547473Anon... she's holding it over a black mouse pad.
>>738547817No joke they sound better. CDs had uncompressed audio that probably would be like 50MB+ if the streaming matched it. Probably 20x the file size.
>>738547860The circle of liiiiiife!
>>738546967>Anon, a period piece is not the same as nostalgiabait.Ah so, which brings me to the millennials LARPing about the 1980s with their vaporwave shit ruining 80s hits by slowing them down and reverbing them, paired with a 1980s anime they never knew about when it was new and fresh at the time. Or better yet, retro 8bit games they love to replicate with their shitty indieslop.Yeah the past decade was almost full of that.
>>738545853"larper" has been gaining traction recently from what I've seen, especially around comic books/manga and their animated adaptations. It's basically being used in the same way
>>738538345What a great way to push the tape out of the cassette
>>738547857No they didn't. Maybe your household did, but VCRs were cheap at pawn shops and you could buy blank VHS cassettes from the dollar store in bundles. It wasn't exactly uncommon for people to record shit on their VCRs up to about the early 2010s (late 2000s if you wanna be a little less generous) because it was extremely cheap and affordable.
>>738547741>>738547640>>738547943i would actually kill myself if I were you. Blind and retarded. Look at the fucking pencil and how you can see it after it passes through the spool. then the black shit covers it up after its wound. holy fucking brainrot zoomers
>>738547473??
>>738541502A kid born in 1994 is more likely to remember how much more free the world was before 9/11.
>>738547978I hate my generation, when I was a kid the vast majority would make fun of me for watching cartoons and now all of them are nostalgic about it, fucking posers.
>>738547937I had far more issues with tapes unwinding than I did with discs getting scratched.
>2 hour long visual novel>Anons have spent 20+ hours shitting on it without even playing itMental illness. Y'all need a real hobby.
>>738548090>Y'all
>>738547657I never said they were common usage, niggerbrain. They were STILL PRESENT during that era along side new tech like the iPod and smartphones. I also said whichever demographic using those forms of media was a moot argument.
>>738545853Because the posers absolutely overwhelmed the original fanbases and they will shit all over you if you call them out on it. Go on Reddit right now and tell the dipshits who's first Silent Hill game was the remake of 2 played on a console getting a Halo of the Sun tattoo on their shoulder that they are a poser and watch what happens.
>>738547860Ah you missed a step>make it a target for chuds that will now put a massive magnifying scope over it>>[here is the missed step] Create the agitation you want to see, write slurs to yourself and post on messageboards pretending to be chuds to create the racism you want to rail against>now you can make more clickbait articles about the scary white chud epidemic and make a desperate buck in your dying industrythis is how the media, political, and activist industries work in reality, it's called the Hegelian dialectic
>>73853877590s kids grew up with cassettes and are millenials
>>738548052That's a reflection. Not accurate, but how else can you explain literally being able to see the other side of the window through something you think is opaque?
>>738543809>cassette player is fasterBurn through your own batteries retard
>>738548054yes it is transparent anon. why dont you point to where the magnetic tape is in that image and then find it in the webm. ill wait
It had a good soundtrack for a movie, otherwise it's kinda mid and I don't really understand the conflict of the game. The characters are reaching a divide because one of them isn't going to go on their planned roadtrip because they're going to new york instead but I don't think there's any reason they can't just wait a week and go on the road trip anyways and this is even brought up in the film and there's just no answer for it.
This 5/10 it ok Game Pass fodder I won't even remember next month will live in your heads rent free forever and thats cringe bro.
>>738548083You could easily fix that in most cases. Scratches were forever. You were also very lucky if you didn't have relatives or friends who regularly destroyed everything lent to them.

literally every VCR or audio tape device I ever used had a rewind function so I wouldnt ever do this anyways. maybe fucking with it a little bit in case the tape to scrambled.holding it upside down is weird though.

>>738548459yeah, and you didn't buy them, because if you're a 90s kid you're like 10 fucking years old or youngermillenials weren't old enough to buy and use this shit. Millenials in the 90s are children. If you were born in 1980 and 15 years old in 1995 you aren't a millenial, you're gen x

Generations going forward hate their childhood and can only nostalgialarp a time they never grew up in.
>>738548436Rewinding it with a player was always much faster, it's just the devs trying to nostalgia bait with a "how do you do fellow millennials" shtick despite probably being zoomers.

>>738548169Everyone hated Curt Cobain skaterfags because their entire personalities were shallow, performative husks created by social engineering and astroturfing. Just like this game.

>>738549213aji see..
I remember being obsessed with a fucking barbie and the rockers vhs for one song( do you believe in magic) so my dad finally just gave me his Lovin' Spoonful cassette so I'd stop annoying his ass. Also 'stole' his Doors greatest hits tape around the same time (2nd~3rd grade)

>>738549740>almost no gameplayThis is why. No one gives a fuck about random dudes unless they do something interesting. Would you really want a story about a bunch of guys who have nothing going on except they're just a bunch of friends hanging out?Girls are interesting in their own right because they have tits.
>>738538345>>738538920It's supposedly to be in the '90s? That casette is from the '80s because the '90s ones are like these >>738539054
>>738547909>>738540197Let me tell you how good you have it, son.Back in my days, gaming means sitting room and stare at a screen on the wall or sitting in a desk. Then we use these things call keyboard and mouse or a controller to control the character on the screen.And the early days of VR? Ha!We had to strap box in front of our face. We even had to carry a big heavy battery or run a wire to a machine!It's not like the virual reality like you have now.And let me tell you about buying games. We used to have to go outside and physically go somewhere using this thing called an automobile.Now we have everything we'd want within our little room. You know how much your mother hates having to go outside those few times a year? We used to have to do it every day.Oh, and we used to breed like animals too. Not like now where we can just have virtual children like you by just upload our genetic information with your wife over the internet. We literally had to live in the same physical location to procreate! Can you imagine that? haha.
