Were the 90's really like this?
Nostalgia bait media forgot that it's supposed to be a little painful and bittersweet and not just "HAHA REMEMBER THIS" which is why it's all irredeemable dogshit.
>>738626141people making media about the 90s, especially in gaming, often seem to think that people in the 90s were all "main characters" and they all did cool little quirky individualist things like dye their hair bright colours or overaccessorize with pins and badges, the likeI've yet to see a game that just portrays a normal bloke from the early 90s as being a guy with normal hair in a blank t-shirt because that's mostly what they werefor that reason this, and many other similar games, reek of "developer insert" bullshit by people who either can't really remember the 90s or who simply aren't as interested in it as they think they are, or that what they actually are interested in isn't the 90's sure you got eccentrics but most of the people then were pragmatic choosing function over formit's why the plaid flannel shirt became the icon it didit was simple working class clothing that was comfy to wear, easy to look at and utilitarian in purposethat's what the 90s actually waseverybody seems to think it was Kurt Cobain dying his hair blue with koolaid but it wasn'tit was actually Ross from Friends season 2
>>738626141No everybody didn't look like hipster faggots and angry, sexless dykes. This is dogshit made by some quirk chungus redditors looking to sanitize the decade to their liking. This is as much a game about the 90's as Stranger Nigs is a show about the 80's.
>>738626491If you dyed your hair in the 90s, people assumed you were a drug addict. The most you'd get were frosted tips. The bright-colored hair stuff didn't start until scene kids in the late 2000s.>>738626561>angry, sexless dykesWe had Lilith Fair for that
>>738626141No.
Why does the main character look like a man
>>738626141NO. We beat faggots up.
>>738626693rightnumber one problem I have with people trying to depict that time periodnot everybody did that, even the weird kids didn't mostlyCobain was an especially weird kid, he was the exception and not a rulethis, however, wasactually GTA SA did a great job of portraying '92 people with authentic dressed-down stylings, ngl
>>738626795to avert the male gaze. any porn made of this catastrophe will be for ironic meme value.
I'm watching Asmongold play it now, seems incredibly insufferable. The production values are decent, but it's all just pseud first grade philosophy slop
>>738626914That's because GTA SA was designed by people that lived through it rather than zoomers whose understanding of it comes from analog horrorThen again, millennials think everyone in the 80s looked like Giorgio Moroder or a Miami Vice character, so I guess it's not so different
>>738626986>The production values are decentThat's because they had money thrown at them by Larry Ellison, head of Oracle and the largest private donor to the IDF
I think one of the best depictions of the 90s is the new IT movie, although it takes place at the very end of the 80s. It nails the feeling of the era perfectly: normal kids living in a nice place, but you always felt that there was something monstrously wrong going on in the background, often illustrated by all the conspiracy and serial killer TV shows.
>>738626141Around the time this is supposed to take place my neighborhood was getting hit bad with oxycontin overdoses. MTV did a little true life documentary about it and I knew a couple kids that died. The is like a pg 13 suburb rich west coast story. Opposite of my 90s experience
>>738626914After Grunge no one was trying to dress fancy. Dyed hair was more of a product of hot topic and anime in the 00s.
>>738626693>didn't start until scene kids in the late 2000s.Huh? i don't remember them dying their hair different colors like blue. Nothing other than black, sometimes fake blonde. Oli Sykes is the quintessential scene kid in haircut for the most basic idea.
It feels like a mix of the 70s to the 90s. Idk, I was born in the mid 80s so my 90s wasn't really like this. A few things here and there like recording shit on a cassette tape, vhs, hanging out with friends while we ride skateboards, bikes, etc. going to malls idk. But it feels like a romanticized mix of things.
>>738626141Anyone who thinks the 90s were really like this is a retard who deserves to be laughed at.
>>738627084funnily enough GTA also did that the game priorI'll concede that as a caveatmy main gripe is that you can solve these design issues by just watching media from the decade you were supposedly inspired by, right?just watch Friends lmfaothe 90's especially has so many great movies toomaybe actually watch a 90s movie before you design 90s characters?
>>738626693>If you dyed your hair in the 90s, people assumed you were a drug addictI guess that's true lmaohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOJEcEkR1a8
The game is way more 80s. A teenager in the 90s wouldn’t be making an 80s nostalgia mixtape. They’d be listening to modern stuff or maybe 60/70s stuff if they were weird. The fashion is 2010s hipster. The slang is current. The diversity/multiethnic friend group is inaccurate for a 90s suburb. The lack of use of gay and faggot as a pejorative is glaring.
>>738627141ok?
if you were a teenager in the 90s that means youre ancient nowholy shit
>>738626141No.That's what the theater kid who was bullied at school fantasized about
>Finally get 90's nostalgia>None of it fits my view of the 90's I grew up in and just caters to rich larping cuntsDoh
>>738627395You are not supposed to do you own research, or any research for that matter.
>>738626141Early 90's? Kinda yeah. I was more of a late 90's teen but I remember my older brother was similar to those in the game. I think late 80's early 90's are closer than early 90's late 90's
>>738626141No, people were not that ugly.
>>738626141>me watching a playthrough of this shithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMhgn1oA7zU
10/10 IGN game of the year is already here.GTA6 devs sweating bullets
>>738626141Popular media in the 90's and early 00's depicted lesbians as being bisexuals that one of the dudes would end up fucking, not dykes
>>73862756342 and my youngest kid is 1
>>738627216I love the "decade-hangover" effect the first couple years of each decade has where old styles get dropped and new ones get adoptedMafia 2 and L.A. Noire capture this amazing 40s/50s transitional period where it's neither one or the other and nobody was sure what to do yetit's like how the early 2010s don't feel like they had their own identity until the middle of the decade when suddenly everybody was a political billboard or a transexual
Maybe in California.
>>738627735on god...
Would you play if Stacey Rockford looked like this?
>>738627141
No, even in the 90s donating to Israel and IDF is considered as cringe
>>738627735congrads man. i'm 44 and couldn't find someone, i'm jelly. good luck to you.
>>738627724I see you have watched "Chasing Amy"
>>738627756The most popular TV show of the 2010s was Game of Thrones but it was forcefully removed from collective consciousness. It's also something that's not reflected in fashion. And music is all over the place because of digital and streaming, everyone listens to random disconnected stuff.
up to '94 or '95, yeah. time and technology changed so much in the '90s that this game looked outdated compared to life in '98 or '99.
>>738627756That does seem to happen a lot, come to think of it.>The early 60s still felt very 50s until events like JFK's assassination and Beatlemania made the transition more firm>The early 90s felt pretty 80s until grunge bands like Nirvana brought us firmly into the 90s>The early 2000s were still pretty 90s in feel until 9/11 changed thingsSometimes the transition was more clear though, like going from the 70s to the 80s with the death of disco and the rise of Reagan.
>>738626141The 90s were basically three decades in one. The early 90s was like the leftovers of the 80s, then Nevermind drops in late '91 and starts the grunge era, which lasts as late as 1996, then 1997-1999 was the turn of the millennium period which carried over into the early 2000s, with Pokemon, Spongebob, and Harry Potter. The early 90s and late 90s were different universes. It's weird.
>>738628021yeah I don't wanna get lost in the weeds here but it's becoming increasingly apparent to me that all the subcultures just got co-opted by mass cultural fascination with politicsfrom like 2008 - 2014 latest though, most people were either still Drake Bell during Drake & Josh, or Drake Bell after Drake & Joshit was still very much just more 2000s for a bit therethe early '90's has some really funky post-80's stuff going on in fashionpeople wearing permed mullets and handlebars with sports sweaters and tucked t-shirtsI dunno why that's popular again now but it is
>>738627912Nobody cared about mudslime conflicts back then. Astroturfed gen Z thing to worship terrorists.
It's kind of impressive how well this show encapsulates the late 90s early 2000s
>>738628351It’s because you lived in a jewish media matrix so they were able to operate with unimpaired. They lost control in the internet age.
>>738627912The vast majority of Americans didn't care about Israel for most of its history. The only times people really had an opinion before the 2010s were a brief period in 80s when there was some negativity because of the invasion of Lebanon, and the 2000s where Israel had a lot of respect because of the war on terror. The current obsession with Israel comes from the populist and anti-establishment movements which became big in the mid-2010s.
>>738626278>little painful and bittersweetpainful and bittersweet how
>>738626491It's self insert media made by and for people who were part of the counterculture movement in the Pacific Northwest. Notice that all 80s-90s nostalgiabait is set on the west coast in white suburbia?
>>738628481Durka durka Mohammed jihad. Haka sherpa sherpa bak Allah
If you're mad at this GOTY you're outing yourself as never having hobbies, never having a friend group, never having a relationship and never being able to just stare at the ceiling with a buddy talking about life.
>>738627395Yeah, Paul Rudd in Clueless is also a perfect representation of what a normal guy in the 90s looked like, while everyone else in the movie is a literal caricature.
>>738628175>like going from the 70s to the 80s with the death of disco and the rise of Reagan.I'm sure the cocaine helped lolbut yeahit's always kinda interested me how certain GTA games like SA or 3 happen in the earliest years of that decade because, in SA's case, the 90's of '92 and the 90's of '98 were two different places
>>738628745lel also exposing themselves as having taste.
>>738628627It’s actually made by Australians whose idea of Americans in the 90s was John Hugh’s films made in the 80s. It’s made for no one judging by the player count.
>>738628865SA really wasn't the best depiction of 1992. A lot of the songs in that game such as Nuthin' But a G Thang and Them Bones didn't become popular at all until 1993.
>>738628949>It’s actually made by AustraliansSilverchair weren't badtheir first album was pretty okay
>>738626141As usual, its from the perspective of a woman who heard about how the 90s was. Specifically the 90s of american children. Literally only Americans had anything close to what this game is trying to protray.
Finished it tonight and do not have the nostalgia for most of it. I wasn't part of "that crew" when going through high school, so I don't have fond memories of bullshit parties or staggering drunkenly through a video store. It was aight though.
>>738629068Americans are the main character and everyone knows it. This game was made by Australians. Cope more turdworlder. Nobody wants a coming of age story set in Bangladesh.
>>738626141oh my science is that another jewish subversion program in effect??we love the 90's and how inclusive it was for everybody, not for incel chuds THOUGH
>>738626141There was a tweet I saw that said all the characters look like ProJared, and I can't unsee it now.
>>738628968yeah that's trueI don't want to sound like a fag and start talking about trying to capture the "essence" or the early 90's era or something like that but whatever it is, SA is better at doing it than not, with a couple smudged lines here and there like certain songs or jokes/referencesI'm not saying they can't have artistic licence to create their own character but all artists use reference material still, it's part of being good at it
Loser old Millennials born in the early/mid 80s>"Everything sucks and I hate everyone no one understands how much I suffer living in a small town with pleasant people. I'm going to listen to Marilyn Manson and tell my parents I am going to kill myself just so they are forced to pay attention to me for once!"Chad young Millenials who were born in the late 80s and early 90s.>"Lets go to my house and play Twisted Metal on my PS1, then we can watch DBZ and see if Goku beats Freza! If my parents tell us to go outside to play then we can go to your house and play Pokémon Stadium on your N64.">"We should go to my house at some point too. My older bro isn't home so we can totally sneak into his room and check out his Magic the Gathering collection in his binder. Also my mom said she was getting Pizza for lunch.">"Hey I heard they are making a new Star Wars about Vader as a kid!">"Awesome!"
>>738626693Nah, some people dyed their hair, it just wasn't popular because the dye sucked and getting it to stay required bleaching. So kids would have dyed hair that looked like blonde hair tinted green or blue rather than the bright colors of the 2000s.
>>738629168Non Non Biyori is more relatable to my pure HWITE GERMANIC childhood.
>>738629523this is exactly why Cobain used the blue koolaidyou couldn't just buy "manic panic" or whatever the kids use these days at the pharmacy like you can nowiirc pop punk really took that and ran with it going into the early 2000s as it became easier to buy
>>738626141No. They were even better.
>"And the award for Game of the Year for 2026 goes to... Mixtape!"
>>738626141mixtape? more like mixedrace!mystery meat golem simulator

>>738626141I think that's more 80s design or 90s movies because irl was nothing like this
>>738628337Permed mullets and handlebars were more of a mid-80s thing. Early 90s was spiky mullets or rat tails.>>738628627I was a high schooler in Washington state in the 90s. Nothing I've seen for this game looks remotely like my childhood.
>>738626141No, not even close.
>>738630097here in the UK the "chucklebrothers" look was still kind of popular for a bit up until the middle of the decade but back then the culture didn't move as quickly remember seeing guys in shellsuits with perms, I think scottish people loved this lookI mean some people had just lived through the 80's and were kind of stuck in it too, this is just kind of how trends eventually die I guess
>>738629504>My older bro isn't home so we can totally sneak into his room and check out his Magic the Gathering collection in his binderSTAY OUT OF MY FUCKING ROOM YOU LITTLE SHITS FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU!
>>738630097lmfao man

I find it kinda funny that the game being pushed as a 10/10 goty is following a group of privileged white upper middle class 90s hipsters
>>738626141the 90s were like today but no 4chan (this is a good thing)
>>738626141No this is more like late 80s slop. If you were born between like 88-94 you grew up in peak times were some of the degen shit from the 70s-80s died down and right before everything went to shit in general.
>>738630607>implying usenet, IRC and phpBB forums were better
There's only one thing i miss about the 90s and that was the ability to just be nowhere. The internet was a place you had to actively go to. Your phone was at your residence or on the street corner. People didn't know where you were at, couldn't reach you, you could just fuck off for days and people would never know.
>>738629523yeah it was more a rich kid thing because who the fuck can afford to get their hair professional quality bleached in order to hold a neon green, blue, pink or red because the dies for the colors sucked too unless, again you had it professionally done.
>>738630519The faguette. On twitter you have to look at the ratios. More comments:likes means you got ratoied and lost. The assumptions is that the comments are from people calling you a faggot.
Honestly the group of kids in this game are who the 90s bullies actually were. These are the people journalists actively identify with because these were the cliquey exclusionary people they were apart of. The ones that often spread rumors, true or false, at the expense of others, shunned the weird, and never left socially stunted kids alone.
>>73862614190s were the last good decADE
so glad this flopped but it's not surprising in the slightest.Troon-coded Artsyle has the same energy as Life is Strange, Relooted, Take Us North, Tales of the Shire, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, Dustborn etc.The pattern recognition is so strong, you can tell these are shit leftist games from just a screenshot.
kinda crazy how if you like stray, mixtape and other dogshit games ranked high by the media you are cattle. Your brain capacity is so fucking low that you can be macromanaged by the jews.
>>738631526You missed this one.
>>738631526>so glad this flopped but it's not surprising in the slightest.I don't think it even matters if it flops
>>738631727
>>738631727what is it with these people and the fucking badges on the fucking bags
>>738631526Also I'm surprised no one calls this game Gone Home 2.0Since Gone Home was also fake 90s nostalgia. A walking sim with no challenge and barely a video game. The only difference this time is that removes all control away and it's practically just an interactive movie.
>>738631568lol
>>738631791Accessorizing is not exactly a new trend, and badges are easy to make so they exist for everything.
>>738626491Kek I just remembered that I used to think you were a fag if you wore both straps of the backpack at the same time (the correct way is like how he's doing it).
>>738632000yeah but it's specifically only a design trope for these kinds of gamesI'm prepared to blame Watch Dogs 2 or Tony Hawks Underground here if that's what it takes to find the root cause of this obnoxiousness
>>738626491>>sure you got eccentrics but most of the people then were pragmatic choosing function over form>it's why the plaid flannel shirt became the icon it did>it was simple working class clothing that was comfy to wear, easy to look at and utilitarian in purposeflannel shirts had always been more of a granpa thing, even in the '90s.the reason flannel popped off is because broke kids in the pacific northwest were thrifting their grandpas old shirts and making cool post-punk music that would later go on to be heavily marketed as the sound of the era.it very quickly became trendy and fake.
Damn. I miss the 90s. It was like we were the first people going into the future and now everything is gay and sucks.
The problem with making period pieces like this is that it will always be innaccurate due to how they talk alone and no game made in current year is going to be using faggot casually and saying something is gay in a negative way. Anybody who was around in the 90s would be quoting Beavis and Butthead and in the later 90s, South Park, which was fucking huge at the time.
>>738632648It's not a product.It's not a video game.It's a trantrum.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgpwHwPw7zc
>>738632130>blame THUGWhy would you hate the most soulful THPS games? the cut off point with Neversoft was project 8. When they abandoned their identity entirely and became a boring soulless alternate version of EA Blackbox's Skate. American Wasteland was the last of their legacy.
>>738626141the 90s are overrated as fuck. we were already entering into globalist-driven societal decline by then. take me back to the 50s instead.
>>738626141No
>>738633085I'm just trying to remember the first time I ever saw them put a badge on a backpackchances are it was Watch Dogs 2WD2 has tight mechanics, probably best mix of systems/puzzles/gadgets in the trilogy, but that game definitely had badges on almost every backpackwe could probably blame a lot of this on WD2 actuallyI'm just saying "put some badges on a backpack" as a shorthand for "my character is quirky and rebellious" is tired shit at this point
>>738631526Why do all these colored haired women in videogames HAVE to be assholes?
>>738633612It's wish fulfillment for pussies who don't do shit IRL. Like chud copypasta about curbstomping niggers and throwing them into active volcanoes.

>>738626141>were the (insert decade)s really like this?The answer is always no.I grew up in the 90s and 00s. There were no people wearing grunge fashion, girls didnt have hosiery on their arms, people didnt fetishize vcrs, casettes, radios, or cd players.the 00s didnt have any scene, emo, etc fashion girls nor boys outside of internet picturespreppy boys and girls just wore abercrombie, hollister, etcjocks and nigger wore team jerseys or basketball shorts (and no 70s style letter jackets)yes some subset of people might wear band tees here and there. everything in media is overatated
Mixtape 2 release when??????????
>>738632393I used to think it was rose colored glasses but it really was a weird time where people just lived their lives in the true peaceful mundane.They really decided to just mind rape us into submission after occupy wallstreet
>>738626141peak millennial writing, so relatable
>>738626141It's not that hard to write a story set in the 1990s. Millennials and broccoli head zoomers who try to do it fail at doing it. Millennials are of course nostalgiafags that look at the 90s through the lens of rose tinted glasses because they only remember the positive aspects of it, but ignore the negatives. Similar to Gen Z'ers in America who view the 2000s through rose tinted glasses, they don't acknowledge 9/11 or the repercussions of the Iraq war or the Great Rescission of 2008.The reason (some) Gen X'ers or Boomers can make a story set in the 90s and pull it off so well is because they were adults during that time and lived through the hardships through that era. And before any idiot comes at me saying that I don't think the 90s was a good time, I'm not saying that at all, but it's not the golden era most you children envision it to be. It's waaaaay less retarded than the modern era without a doubt. I was born in 1977 and throughout the 90s I was just some average high school/college kid doing stupid shit and bought a car at 17 LOL.
personal anecdote but in my school, city, etc no one gave a shit about nirvana
>>738626141I love how nobody gave a fuck about this game until it started getting 10's
>>738626141>late 90s>not a single pair of jnco jeans in sight
>at friends house>we want to use friends brothers pc to chat with girls on msn>friend "i dont know his windows xp account password">check the hint>rinoa's friend>try angelo>mfw that day
If you played the game it isnt even about nostalgia, it uses americana as a backdrop to tell a story about youth.
>>738634710No one in my area did until Kurt Cobain an hero'd. Just fake fans hopping on the bandwagon because it was on the news headlines for days on end. Similar thing with Tupac and Notorious B.I.G.
this site is compromised
>>738635429nope, just retarded
As a 90s teenager, absolutely not. This is pure romanticization, written by people who likely never lived through the 90s. It seems like it was made through the zoomer lens of 90s appropriation, like girls that wear wide leg jeans and take photos with digital cameras because they think it's "more authentic" -- these posers are chasing a coolness that they were never a part of.
>>738626141for cupcake fags yes
>>738626141not for everyone
>>738635429Has been for a long fucking time.
I remember when a millennial born sometime in the late 80s made a short film set in the 1990s, specifically the year 1997 to 1998, they had NO idea how numeric pagers worked. I remember they got the "I LOVE YOU" code wrong and the pager said "134" when it was supposed to say "143". Millennials truly are the zoomers of the 1990s.
>>738630876You sound so gay that you're making me, an actual gay man and faggot, want to be straight for the first time in life. Caring about how many people hit a Like button? I've met fifth grade girls wearing plaid Barbie shirts with more machismo than you on your best day. Please rewind time a day so I never have to know you walk among us.
>>738626141For me, 1990s was the Yugoslav Wars. For people of African, Canada, Australia, India, Argentina and China, was a shitty time of poverty and boredom because there arent "big evil Russian people" anymore
>>738636664when people talk about decades and subcultures were talking about the firdt world, not europe
>>738626141This game is made by the daughter of the 5th richest person in the world though, and still somehow managed to get the game funded by the govt.
>>738629523Yeah, girls used to dye their hair with koolaid in the school bathroom. Just a fun, temporary thing. I had a huge crush on a girl in high school who had a shitty at-home bleach job that turned her hair mostly orange with dark roots. Still luv trashy looking girls like that to this day.
>>738626141It's a romanticized version of the '90s

I'm 46The most 90s thing I ever did was shut the power off at midnight at a new years 2000 party since everyone was freaking our about the y2k bug.
>90's America>made by Australians (((melbournites)))Why not about 90's in Australia?
>>738626141No they were better with much better music. The Australian homosexuals that made that game don't know anything about anything. She isn't even wearing the Koss Portapro correctly, because they were rich kids growing up in Melbourne, and never even seen one. >>738626795Contractually obligated inclusivity ratios. Nobody can be prettier than Chris Chan so as not to offend the ugly. >>738627843It'd still be terribly written, the music would still suck, and there wouldn't be any gameplay. If you changed everything about the game I would play it. >>738631727Who did she steal the bike from?>>738631526At least Life is Strange was a walking simulator, you actually walked around a 3d environment. This shit isn't even a game. You can't even slow down, or speed up the pace your character moves. >>738636825What, you think rich people pay for things? You are paying for Kamilah Harris's Daughter's 6,000 dollar handbags you know.

>>738637423Actually let me correct myself; the most 90's thing I did was believe the official narrative that aids wasn't just a faggot buttfucking thing and was really an ''equal opportunity killler''
>>738627470>A teenager in the 90s wouldn’t be making an 80s nostalgia mixtape.Yes, 80s stuff was regarded as unbelievably cringe and ugly Source: I was a teenager in the 90s
>>738634686One thing I almost never see brought up is that it genuinely felt like shit was about to get ugly for a few years in the early 90s. You had the Rodney King riots and the first WTC attack. Ruby Ridge and Waco happened 6 months apart. Then the OKC bombing in response to those. A lot of people thought we were headed into something like the Troubles in Ireland. Mass shootings were also way more common than people think. I remember there were a bunch of nasty school shootings in 98 well before Columbine.
>>738635429It is, but this is a relatively fair thread
>>738637490>gone home>journey>neon white>stray>SILENT HILL: TownfallMan Wagner was on point when he said that they are not able create works of art, everything they do is hideous and ugly.
Needs more of this aesthetic
>>738637708i don't think it is, blogposting is not part of the 4chan community that they killed. I don't care about my own nostalgia, why should i care about their nostalgia based on a fake product. They are obviously bots, paid actors or weird redditors.
Coming of age stories are only okay when it's cute waifus being cute
>>738637730none of that was hideous or ugly tho
>>738626141No they weren't this gay
>1.5k players averageAssuming each buyer played a couple of hours. That's less than 100k copies sold on Steam, around $1.5M. I'm thinking Chuds lost this one.
>>738635547They're not quite the same style, but this made me remember how popular those stupid looking round John Lennon style sunglasses were.
>>738637619Agreed. There was such an unbelievable wall in our collective counciousness about the 80s and how we needed to get the fuck away from them. It's sort of amazing how we looked at 1987 from 1992 and it felt like people from the 70s looking back at the 40s.
>>738628542Remembering the molestation you tried to suppress between enjoying LTTP and getting an N64 on Christmas. Going to McDonalds and having fun in the playset and then driving by it now knowing it's gone. Hugging your dad and he didn't really hug you back and that was the last time you saw him. Getting ice cream after school because you were upset but remembering it was because you got molested but your brain tried to protect you by just remembering the ice cream.
>>738626141you better believe in psy-op threads, you are in one. OP is a massive astroturf faggot that deserves their illicit whoreson ass hung up a tree.
>>738637619To this day people still do ironic 80's dance moves like Carlton Banks, even if they don't realize it.

>>738636664I lived in South Africa throughout the 1990s. The fall of Apartheid in 1994 was 9/11 for us whites. So we first moved to Australia a year later, then I moved to the United States (California) in 2000. I still think about South Africa at times, but they have an energy crisis and it's gotten worse during the 2010s.
>>738635547An accurate portrayal of the 90s would be quite difficult for a zoomer dev. They'd have to actually be interested in history
>>738626141Nothing about this art style or color palette reads 90's to me in the slightest. They look like zoomer TikTok microinfluencers.
>>738627470Early-mid 90s people were still using cassettes. CDs didn't really become ubiquitous until the end of the 90s when they became accessible and it wasn't until the 00s where people really had the means to burn their own CDs.
>>738638168I hate a white Afrikaner person in my art class, who was also kind of vague and dodged the question of why her family moved here. I was a naive little babby so wouldn't realize until the summer of Floyd what the real reason was.
>>738636239only uncs used that frfr, that was unc tech we yoomers had motorolas and nokia phones lmaaaooo. you can't even text on them, and the alphanumeric ones are inferior to my nokia lmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaao
>>738638341>They look like zoomer TikTok microinfluencers.Because that's exactly what it is, it's a fake product in every single sense of the word.
>>738638627>jeet trying hard to blend in.you are not welcome.
>>738638225Sure is difficult for millennials because they envision it as a golden era but never accurately portray the bad aspects of it. Same goes for the 1980s.
>>738638759You never lived in the 50s "the great era" to talk like that retard. Sure its way fucking worse than that but its nowhere even close to how bad the 2010-2020s are
>>738637691Serial robberies and shootouts were also very common. Like the 1997 Hollywood shooting for instance. Mental health crisis was on a rise both in the US and here in the UK during the decade, though it goes unnoticed.
>>738626561>picthat's a man
>>738638627>you can't even text on themNo one was texting in the 90s
>>738638627My literal unc still carries his cell phone in a leather holster on his belt and sometimes a walkie talkie if he needs to communicate with my cousins and they're in the same area (for example driving separate cars). The gigaunc move.
Another thing, everyone regarded The Current Year of 1996 or whatever as being a dull era without personality. They didn't think they were living in a golden age. They thought the 60s were better, and they looked forward to The Year 2000, as it was called, with great anticipation
>>738637912molested by who
>>738636825and they call youtubers who's opinions they don't like grifters.
>>738629523No one dyed their hair because literally every school in the United States would send you home of you showed up with dyed hair because it was a distraction. You could usually get away with bleaching but no colors allowed >>738634292I graduated high school in the 90s and grunge and alternative looks were all over our school. It definitely wasn't the dominant fashion but people definitely dressed the clique they were in. Most people dressed normally but it was noticeable>>738636239I do agree that milennials are the zoomers of the 90s>>738638350Nah, just about everyone in high school had a cd player by 94 or earlier. Cassettes were definitely still used but I can't think of a single person aside from my grandpa who didn't have a cd player by 93 or 94.Im old and I've lived long enough to see milennials try and tell me how the 90s were and be completely wrong
>>738626141No, this is what some nepo-baby who's got infinite wealth's view of the 90s is.
>>738639236No one thought this. 1996 was an amazing year for movies, music, life, etc. They were exciting times and felt like it because so much new stuff is was happening on a nearly monthly basis. Pick up a random Rolling Stone, Playboy, video game magazine from 96 and can can read actual first hand accounts from then. It was an optimistic time and people were excited for what was to come because everything was progressing in such a great manner. People thought the 60s were cool but no one legitimately wanted to go back. Parents in the 90s knew their children were living in a much better time than when they were kids. Parents don't think that nowadays and there hasn't been that feeling in a couple decades. Instead of looking back fondly on the 90s, we actually want to go back and it's painful seeing how bad shit has gotten.
>>738626141There weren't any trannies in the 90s
>>738626795The game is for faggots, anon
>>7386399431996 and 1997 was often regarded as the peak of the 1990s mostly due the culture at time. Gaming changed, the biggest blockbuster hit came out in '97, music was fucking awesome and... and... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
>>738626491Accurate
>>738639949There were, just not overly prominent nor fucking annoying by including themselves into everything like current modern day trannies. In fact, they were viewed as weird and unusual by the common person and I wish this was still the case today. There a story about how one ACK'd ximself back in 1993, so troon sudoku has been ongoing for a very long time.
>>738639949lol.lmao.
>>738640229That was just one oddball. There were no trannies or gays in the 1990s
>>738626141Yes, fags and trannies gave each other AIDS.
Your perception of every decade before you turned 13 is that of rich Hollywood. None of it is representative of reality.
Have you ever seen women skateboarding in that era?
>>738626141It's game by an Australian dude that probably never sat foot on California until the 2000s.
>>738627996More like those comedy movies such as American Pie 2 or whatever
>>738627141>heres your indie gsme bro
>zoomies and s oylinnies itt don't know that back in the 1980s, baby boomers and gen x had a nostalgiaboner for the 1950s and wished they could live in the decade by recreating it's aesthetics and suchPart of me thinks that's why Back to the future had segments when Marty travels back to the '50s.
>>738640251There were some but mostly hanging from trees
>>738640876not exactly a fresh insight. there's a reason all of our christmas music is frozen in the fifties.
>>738639943Did you live in the 90s? I did, and it was regarded as pleasant but bland and without flavour, not even any bad flavour like the 80s>read actual first hand accounts from thenI don't need to read a magazine because I remember it.
>>738640605No, but they would go rollerblading
How would someone in the 90s have envisioned the 2020s? I guess that could just about have anticipated the 2000s but they would have been way off the mark and imagined it as far too futuristic.But the 2020s? Forget it.
>>738626141This is the most astroturfed "game" of the last 5 years.
>>738640876Like a quarter of the US population watched Happy Days. Boomers were mind raped by monoculture and don’t have a real personality to themselves.Mixtape is kinda similar in its nostalgia baiting, but they’re doing it poorly and it’s being rejected by the masses.
>>738641069
it's a movie disguised as a gamethe attention this shit is getting is insane
>main girl has a mixtape of 80s shitThat's highly unlikely She would have taped contemporary stuff off the radio
There's no agenda. There's no politics. There's not even really gameplay, but that's okay. There's just being able to look back at the moments you grew up with. That's why its so good. We live in a world where people are performative. Where everything we do is judged and reposted, liked, shared... This game brought me back to the times where I spent 30 minutes setting my AIM away message. When me and my friends would wander streets away from our house until I heard my dad whistle. When I wandered out with my buddies in some parking lot to smoke clove cigarettes because we thought that was cool. If you don't want to spend a couple hours by yourself with your own thoughts thinking about the moments that made you who you are... fine. But Mixtape was deliberately made not to make you nostalgic for the 90s, but make you nostalgic for that moment in your life that took place around then. Maybe you were a bit older, maybe you were a bit younger, but the people who grew up between the 80s and early 00s lived in such a unique cross section of technology and humanity. We could disappear for hours and then come back and play WoW with people all over the world. That's what Mixtape does so well. Everyone has moments in their life that they should reflect on. If you choose not to, it's your loss.
>>738641138Pretty accurate
>>738626141Depends. Is everyone calling each other gay?
>>738626795I'm convinced they changed the main character in the "last minute". If you look at her she looks very close to the other guy than the other girl.She doesn't even shake her hips when you run through the field. The other girl does.
>>738632070I'd rather be called a fag than haul home a backpack filled with snacks and cola on a single shoulder.
>>738641424How fat are you now?
>>738637619Don't know about cringe but I loved the 80's music in the 90's and I was an outlier.
>>738626141So middle and right are related, right? Because their faces look really similar.
>>738641261Playing the actual games from those times much more effectively transports me back to that time period.This isn’t an accurate portrayal of the 90s or adolescence. This is Hollywood imitation. It’s a pretty clumsy attempt of fitting a sappy 80s teen movie into video game shape. It ends up not being a good video game or a good movie.
>>738637838They got a Game Pass deal which saves indie flops but it probably won't make it a success either.
>>738641424>eating in publickinda gay if you ask me
>>738631526This artstyle reminds me of the calarts animation boom and I wish they would both fucking perish.
>>738641261>There's just being able to look back at the moments you grew up with.The moments are an idealized, distilled version of a very specific sub group of middle class american kids.
>>738641496They all look the exact same except skin tone.If you overlay the face of any character from this game theyre identical.
>>73864144867kg @ 185cm>>738641528I stopped by the convenience store on the way home and crammed all that shit alongside the books. Carrying it by the handle or wearing both straps were the only option to not fuck up my posture.
>>738626141Late 90s were just teenagers sitting in a room listening to rap music while smoking to weed.
This stupid instructional video produces more nostalgic feelings of childhood than Troontape ever could.https://youtu.be/mfMrVKnGzwg
>>738641713>listening to rapMore like "alternative" slop
>>738632070>you were a fag if you wore both straps of the backpackYeah I remember thatAt school you couldn't wear it with both straps unless you were top dog You'd be endlessly bullied as a nerdZoomers are actually much nicer to each other than we were
>>738641818No. Rap was huge with white kids by the late 90s.
>>738641261the reviews on backloggd unironically read like this btw
>>738641937I remember that every boy had to eventually prove themselves in a fight, those who were picked on and folded had the fate of being bullied forever. You had to snap and at least attempt to beat their ass and get some nice hits it, then you were off the hook.
>>738637803dyke can't be waifu material
>>738641950Not my experience. 8 Mile and the spaghetti song in particular started it. That's 2002.
This was another game that struck me as fake nostalgia too. Both this and Gone Home. And now Mixtape. Takes place in 1989. These games always look like some faux instagram filters versions of old photography and film/television stuff. They create these obviously fake looking versions of old analog photos and film. That's the impression i get.Although now with AI it's probably easier to fake what they failed doing back then.
>>738642075>That's 2002.Early 2000s is honorary 90sLike how the 21st century didn't really get going until 2020
>>738642134Yeah I know what you mean about Firewatch. Aside from the ass-tier plot, it didn't feel like the 80s at all, or even feel like a serious attempt at the 80s.
>>738630558This shit. Where are the games following broke innercity ass niggas, or bullied trailer trash. What about those fucking stuck in the middle of nowhere detached from being able to get fucking cable TV and shit because country folk didnt get shit all
>>738642134and always some vague "we're living in the more wooded areas of the Pacific Northwest".Oh sorry! This time we're in "Northern California".I'd like a coming of age story in those random towns you never hear about in flyover states.
a literal industry plant buying 10/10 ign reviews confirmed
>>738626278Throughout the history of media, usually the bittersweet part was that everything was better in the good, old days (20s, 60s, 90s, 2000s, etc)
>>738642362I miss when nepo babies would just throw money at weirdos to create art instead of trying to become artists themselves.
>>738642442its so much worse
>>738626141No, it was normal to call someone a faggot or gay in public and people would laugh at said person
>>738642134They should have kept this as a straightfoward fire watching game, with just a hint of the supernatural, and that your radio friend is hiding something from you
OH NO
>>738642486Giving power to words has caused an unseen rise in mental illness. If you dish out then be ready to take it and vice versa, conditioning yourself into a state of panic from it is genuinely more harmful.

>>738642613Collect my pages.
>>73864263222 minutes, but yes
>>738628438That poor kid got raped didn't he?
>>738642632Yeah it's that woke game
>>738642461Is it a surprise to anyone that IGN got orders to give it a 10?
>>738626141This is only what the 90's were like for the most braindead soulless drones who took the path of least resistance and bought a rebel narrative for their boring meaningless lives from corporations. Guess who they grew up to be today. Go on, guess.
why everyone in this industry so insecure? from devs to journalists to fans, they want remove everything that makes gaming unique just to become much worse movies, why are you like this? why does nobody call this shit out? can you imagine an entire movie that's just flipping a book pages and that's it?
>>738639949There were. But the media hadn't figured out how to insert them into every one of our hobbies to destroy them.
>>738639949Transvestites were a huge deal in cities all over the US. So was aids and faggotry. However, there wasn't social media and a retard crusade going on, so it was pretty tame.
>>738627308That was emo, scene evolved from emo. Basically emos that were too afraid to cut lmao
>>738642805Sounds like the average gen xer
>>738637912Aptly put
>>738626141no, these morons are morons.
My question is why is this game getting tons of praise from the media and shills while YIIK didn't despite being the same exact thing even down to the shitty minigames and early 10s Hipsters being awkwardly shoehorned into the 90s. Is the Spiderverse artstyle really just that beloved by Blackrock/globohomo or was it something else about YIIK that rubbed them the wrong way?
Bros, the non-paid reviews are coming in and it's not looking good!https://noescapevg.com/review-mixtape/
>>738642972White male (whiny) protagonist.
>>738642972Nah Yiik was an actual dogshit indie project by people who had no idea how to make a video game and only made it because it was the easiest form to present that story with.I hate to say it but Yiik has soul and making the game better sanded off a lot of it.
>>738627216>something monstrously wrong goingAmerican sub urban paranoia is not to confused with the prevalent opinion that there was an inherent paranoia in the 90s. There wasn't, despite aliens being a mainstream media theme, like it's today. Aliens were always used as jingling keys.
>>738626141nah, they had gameplay back then.
>>738642530>2024Kind of old news now innit>>738642461>its so much worseThis implies guilt by association? a lot of people have been published by them now. I wouldn't say that this makes things any worse. I'm not sure how this makes things 'worse'. It's better to look at the developers themselves if you want to make a point.But because zoomers are all hamas jihadist activists I'm sure this is quite sinister to them.
>>738626141Early 80s here.No the trailer is wrong in many ways.You can't do the 1990s accurately in modern media, because frankly, the vast majority of people were hilariously homophobic and misogynistic by modern standards, and while there was arguably more "racial harmony" in fact, people were way more casually racist. Racist jokes were pretty much the number 1 sort of joke I heard, and I grew up in the most liberal of liberal hippy ass, GREEN PARTY voting area. Faggot was the number 1 insult and frankly, descriptor used by people, and people were very openly homophobic. Wore skinny jeans? faggot, didn't like sport? faggot, like reading? faggot. You didn't like something? It was gay, didn't want to do something? It's gay.Women were brutally mocked for not being 8+/10 and basically not having a sub 18 BMI. Any girl acting like the main girl in this trailer would be called a dyke even by her friends.Like, people were casually mean in the 1990s, lots of bullying as well. By high school tonnes of people in my year had already committed suicide from the bullying.This didn't start shifting till around 2004 "faggot" became "metrosexual" for example. But remember, the majority of the public, along with most politicians were still anti-gay marraige in 2010. Gay marraige was won through the courts, not through political will. Obama was attacked for not being openly homophobic by Clinton.Another big thing I guess of the era that gets missed is while grunge and alt were huge, it was Breaks, Acid House and Trance that were the main alternative music and design of the era.
>>738627941That's a dead thing in the west. Don't bother, it's non-existent.
>>738641069I envisioned the internet being faster without it having to load a page for a long time. And boy was I right, but that vision was fulfilled the following decade.
>>738643196>Racist jokesThey were harmless and people could take a joke back then.
>>738643289Regardless of how you perceived it, they were nevertheless made.
>>738643289>>738643196What do you do when you see an injured nigger in your back yard?
>>738643289Yeah, one of the ways you would break ice with people is literally "banter" by doing racist jokes about their culture, and they would do racist jokes back at yours. Great bonding experience and I heard so many fucking hilarious racist jokes about the most fringe of cultures back then since again, grew up in a hippy ass ultra liberal multicultural green party council area.
I was born in 1968, the thing that puzzles me are the lack of home stereo systems. You are in this middle class suburb setting so don't tell me no family has them in their house.
>>738643332Constantly, see>>738643196And no one bat an eye. It's was like "cool" in the 90s.
>>738626986>I'm watching Asmongold play it nowno wonder you subhuman shitskins are spamming threads about this dogshit...
>>738643002>Again, there’s literally a synthwave song from 2011 by Mitch Murder called “Remember When” on here, we don’t gotta fuck around about this: this is not nostalgia for 1999, it is nostalgia for a childhood nobody has ever actually had. TRVTHNVKE

>>738643392Yep, every one of my friends, even the poor ones, had huge home stereo systems.>>738643340call them gay.
>>738643397Yeah, I'm a later millenial, '94, and gay was the go-to insult. Faggot was an extremely common insult, adults would've scolded you for the full word by the 00's but 'fag' generally went unchallenged in casual conversation. 'Retarded' was even more common and pretty much nobody blinked at it.
>>738643379It's called self reflection and people back then had it.
>>738637912I'm sorry your 90s sucked ass
>>738643580>pretty much nobody blinked at it.People had humor and character back then, too. Media and smartphones changed the society. Especially smartphones were shoved down the throat of the average consumer and restructured society in ten years. Ai I did so in two years and will continue to do so. Ai in ten years will have a much bigger impact than smartphones had. Mass unemployment, companies that are dependant on subsidies, banks privatizing core areas of the state and plenty of protests, terror attacks and full scale wars.
>>738643059>making the game better sanded off a lot of itHow much did IV change it? I got way into the antifandom of it in the early 2020s because of Running Shine and Oney's vids/series about it and shitposted about it here and elsewhere all the time but I heard they overhauled the entire a couple of years or so ago to where it's a different game now. I know one of the devs works here so I'm curious to hear how it changed if you've followed up on it.>>738642805>This is only what the 90's were likeThey weren't, this is what the 90s were like to an older Millennial who was a child during the decade but didn't actually come of age during it like Gen-Xers did.>>738642442RIP Ted Turner, he was kind of a piece of shit but he at least produced and preserved a surprising amount of kino
>>738643002Problem with his review is he's missing the context here, the shirt she wears is Rage which was the main alternative competitor to MTV in the 1990s.https://rageagain.com/#/episode/1999/09/04/1Here for example, is what Rage played on the 4th of september 1999 https://rageagain.com/#/episode/1999/03/06/1Here is the 3rd of June.Similar to the music in the game.

>>738643881>a bunch of larpers/bots not knowing the most iconic racist joke of the 90'sMy Dad was literally an old stormfag, I know every racist joke from that time you can think of about nearly anything.I wasn't even born in the 90s, I was a 00s kid. Both of my parents came of age during that decade though.

>>738644408Oh I remember that punchline being used a lot.
>>738643196>Breaks, Acid House and Trance that were the main alternative music and design of the era.Yes zoomers miss this. I'm surprised, it was so enormous even in the 2000s
>>738626141This game is full of shit lol. If you weren't around in the 90s you'll never get it. The same goes for other decades.
>>738644553https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9jP4Vy7G_c
>>738644561>zoomers miss thisAs a Zoomer, I assure you they don't. It's jsut that we associate that stuff with richfags and trannies.
>>738638350Not even remotely true. CDs exploded in the early 90s, because they actually entered the market in 1982 and finally became largely affordable in the early 90s. This isn't like vinyl records which actually stuck around for a long time through the 80s, cassettes were nearly immediately relegated to niche uses by 92, and by 93 most music stores didn't even carry them. Yeah, a concert bootlegger might have some on hand, but they weren't spreading them around. Cassette tapes were almost impossible to even find outside of Office Depot like stores for recording shit like college classes and business conferences by 97.Of course, Mixtape is trying to have its cake and eat it too by deliberately not stating what year in the 90s it takes place in, but we can infer it is mid or late 90s just given the few clothing styles that are somewhat period accurate.

>>738626561pretty much this. Also that comic is utter woke shit, true 90s were based asf.
>>738638919>Mental health crisis was on a rise both in the US and here in the UK during the decade, though it goes unnoticed.It goes "unnoticed" because all the "empathetic" politicians and people shut down the mental health facilities and asylums, directly causing the rise of mental health crises and harm to the general public.
>>738626141But can it astroturf its way to GOTY? It has the hollywood jews behind it after all.
>>738626561>Stranger Nigs KEK!also i fucking hate that comic tranny. why does she draw “her”self with the face of a damascus goat
>>738644795You almost made it look legitimate but I'm calling you an imposter to include limewire but not MSN messenger. Or apparently some people alternatively used AOL. But that shit is foreign to me.
>>738630448should have gone the whole mile >nigger faggot
>>738641937>>738642039where did you grow up? I was the weird quiet smelly kid and even I wasn't bullied, just left alone.
>>738627395Blue top girl cute
>>738626491the problem with trying to describe the '90s style'is that the 90s were like 30 years compressed into 10there was a massive difference between how people dressed in like 93 vs 95 vs 99 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INturz459TMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l1g255U9tEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfM_07t6IHw&t=
The game’s not woke, guys. It’s cringe milennialslop but it’s also normie and conservative.
>>738641528incredibly chinese post
>>738645156>where did you grow up? IFor me, Ausfalia. Adelaide in the 90s. Between the wogs, the bogans, and the boarders from the country, school was rough.
>>738645156>where did you grow up?Post-Soviet shithole, it was a literal doggy dog world at school.
>>738645226There's an LGBT+ tag on the store page.There's lesbians in it. The fuck are you on about?
>>738643196the whole bullying mythos around columbine turned out to be fake but there's a reason it was the first thing people came to. 90s bullying would be more accurately described as hazing today
>>738645214>is that the 90s were like 30 years compressed into 10Explain or perish
>>738645297Tags are made by the audience
>>738644561>I'm surprisedrave music never really had a singular mainstream star to put a face on it like kurt and scenes like that simply fade from memory when everyone ages out
Shit game made by a nepobaby cunt that has no clue on how to produce good games.One more reason to despise the epstein billionaire class.
>>738645467>the whole bullying mythos around columbine turned out to be fakeI remember reading some book from one of their close friends Brooks Brown 'No Easy Answers' and he described that it was also bullying that led to it. I never really bothered looking at anything past that to suggest it wasn't. What evidence existed suggesting the contrary?
>>738645263>>738645294I see.I grew up in a quiet sub 30k population 99% white canadian suburb town and bullying pretty much didn't exist. It was just something that we saw on TV and in "don't bully!" campaigns. Maybe it was different if you were part of the popular kids group and people were jealous or trying to make a name but down at the bottom nobody bothered me. There was a kid from newfoundland in early elementary and we kind of made fun of his amusing thick newfie accent sometimes but we all liked him as a person well enough. in highshcool people were more concerned with just getting by than picking on people, even the turbo-fag and the token goth girl had plenty of friends.
>>738637437late as fuck, but I'd love to have seen that.growing up in queensland suburbs, there's a lot you could do with the setting that would be infinitely more interesting than a smellbourne take on burger suburbs.
>>738638969ayup
>>738645661>bullying pretty much didn't existSounds like paradise, frankly
>>738645574Not a single person, but The Prodigy I would say is the most iconic electronic act of the era
>born in the 80s>Still call everything annoying and stupid "gay" and "retarded" to this very day.Will never stop.
>>738645784Is that the band with the crab?
>>738644786>CDs exploded in the early 90sNot for portable applications. For that, the tape walkman remained the standard

>>738646014Outstanding cover. I love it when horror has friendly covers.
The reason cumtown became so popular is that it legit is just the way we used to talk to eachother in the 1990s and early 2000s.It's basically pure accurate nostalgia bait for the 1990s.https://youtu.be/IglOrJJNC5I?si=yZX3-B5DL2mlsV-S
>>738645578>epstein billionaire class.It would be great hearing criticism that doesn't boil down to how much money the developer has.The game might be shit as a video game but their financial background is irrelevant to the discussion.It reeks of engaging in the whole 'check your privilege' shit that we on /v/ used to make fun of after hearing big reds public tirade.
>>738646078>The reason cumtown became so popular is that it legit is just the way we used to talk to eachother in the 1990s and early 2000s.OneyPlays scratches that same itch for me. It's especially liberating and strangely addictive given I never grew up with it and was always envious of my parents for having grown up in an era where it was so easy and expected to shoot the shit.
>>738646151>It would be great hearing criticism that doesn't boil down to how much money the developer hasYou can finish the entire game in 3 hours without touching the controller
>>738644786As far as commercial albums go, yes CDs took over, but nobody had a way of making their own CDs until 2000 or so.If you wanted a mixtape, you'd go to office depot and buy one and stick it in your walkman.There were the parallel worlds of commercial CDs and homemade jank casettes.
>memberberries for the quirky ~40 yo so1gargler
>>738645578>epstein billionaire class.Thought terminating cliche
>>738627843The emptiness behind her eyes is really jarring. There's nothing there except a burning desire to genocide and steal land.
>>738630410Coisty had one helluva mullet back in the day.
>>738646214Yes. That is relevant criticism. It shouldn't go past that really. They're hacks and that's all that needs to be said. Perhaps even someone who bribed journos for all i know. But if someone who less wealthy bribed a journo it would equate to the same principle anyway. That industry cliques exist that make people more successful. Did they ever preach such a message that would contradict anything they wrote in the plot? and by that i mean they hijacked it entirely for an agenda?From what I've read likely not. It's just unremarkable.
shit game on rails movie, shit dev . 2/10.
>>738626278Melancholic media in general is rare nowadays. It’s too sincere and honest for most people.
>>738646151>>738646508How much money the developer has and how much the publisher has are different things.Also if anyone bribed journos it was the publisher.It is funny seeing rightoids seethe over this vapid shit when it was funded by one of their guys though.
>>738646676>one of their guysI assue you nobody on the right claims the Ellisons as "their guys". Hell most of them don't even like Elon Musk anymore.>>738646508>It shouldn't go past that really.It does if you're trying to understand the pov of a game that's narrative based and why it depicts what it depicts and who shares said views and outlooks. Dustborn is a similar comparison given it was made with EU and Norwegian funding.
>>738646843>I assue you nobody on the right claims the Ellisons as "their guys". Hell most of them don't even like Elon Musk anymore.Doesn't really matter does it? What matters is who has Trump's ear.Ellison, Kushner, Thiel etc are their guys whether they like it or not.
>>738646964>Ellison, Kushner, Thiel etc are their guysDude I get you're probably older but most people on the "right" my age are unironic Nazis while those on the "left" are unironic commies. They are not simply Republicans vs. Democrat.
>>738646676>Political divisiveness Not very 90s of you
>>738633612
>>738632648Man the beavis and butthead thing was so real it lasted into the mid 2000'sT. '97 born zoomer, we drove teachers crazy by doing cornholio
>>738647009Yet they'll still call Trump "based"even though he's just another MIC owned necocon shill controlled by The Heritage Foundation.
>>738646078Remember when we talked while we played online first person shooters? The only mod was the guy that owned the server and he was an educated straight white male like the rest of us.No being scared of saying no-no words. Not worried about being sexist or hurting someone's feelings all the fucking time else we get banned forever. We talked like humans. It feels like forever ago.
>>738647193Trump is based because he's authentically retarded. Based means authenticity, whatever that may be.
>>738645187she wasNeve Campbelldisappointing tits thoughsave yourself the heartbreak and don't look them upher best work was The Craft imho, which she shares with Fairuza Balk
>>738632648>innaccurate due to how they talkIf a game/film about teens set in the 90s doesn't have the male characters saying "fag" or "gay" every 10th word, it's wildly inaccurate.
>>738645669They probably didn't do it because 90's australia was still very very white.
>>738647193>they'll still call Trump "based"Everybody my age thinks Trump is a Jewish puppet controlled by Netanyahu and Baal regardless of if they're Mexican neo-Nazis, apolitical White guys, or transgender communists.
>>738631791Thing that gets me is that it's pins on a leather briefcase. No one in their right fucking mind would ever use pins on stiff leather because you'd ruin the leather.
Play a real walking sim, with a cute daughter wife. not astroturfed woke slop
>>738627395>just watch Friends lmfaoEw, I'm not doing that. It's too problematicI'll imagine a better version of the 90s
>>738646676>by one of their guys though.No one is one of my guys given that i don't know much about any one involved. I'm just not obsessed with people's wealth for no reason and when no reason calls for it given the discussion. If that seems strange to you then you already belong in the socialist loony bin.
>>738632130The think badges = soulful, artistic
>>738647582>Play a real walking sim, with a cute daughter wifeI've I wanted that I'd fire up "The Walking Dead starring Clementine"
>>738645486NTA but normally decades are broken into the transitory period for the first 3-4 years where the culture is like a mutated version of the previous decades culture and the real culture which lasts for the rest of the decade.The 90s had the 80s transitory period -> bright colors optimism -> grunge era -> Nu-Metal Era AKA 90s transitory period.Really Kurt Cobain was a culturally generational figure that shaped the mid decade around Nirvana, and with his death the landscape of pop culture changed almost overnight.
>>738647650>I'm just not obsessed with people's wealth for no reason and when no reason calls for it given the discussionLol are you actually an executive from Rockstar o algo, why are you so fixated on this. Wondering where something got funding especially when it's being shilled everywhere is not abnormal behavior and doubly so if it's in this industry.
>>738645486Also NTA but>1990-92 = 80s Electric Boogaloo>1993-95 = Grunge>1996-99 = The Matrix
>>738647796>Wondering where something got funding especially when it's being shilled everywhere is not abnormal behaviorIt would be in the 90sNo one would think in this insane way back then
>>738647856>No one would think in this insane way back thenInvestigative journalism didn't exist in the 1990s?
>>738626141No. If you actually had friends in the 90s as a kid, you would be indoors playing video games with them. Not whatever these turds did. You can tell this game was made by people who didn’t actually have friends
>>738647796>Lol are you actually an executive from Rockstar o algowut? >Wondering where something got fundingThat's not what was being discussed. In that case it was just >argh rich peopleWhat that comment (and numerous others) boiled down to. That is what i was criticizing. I never ruled out that journos giving it high review scores was a possible thing and i certainly accepted the possibility of mass shilling. Why are you suggesting otherwise when that was in my very comment?But careful anon to not trip over on hypocrisy post GG about whether everyone is bought off.
>>738639673>I do agree that milennials are the zoomers of the 90sit's a harsh but fair takeyou could argue this game and the whole design trend it represents is a direct result of it even"90's kids" as an aesthetic which can be manipulated"90's kids" have spent their whole lives being manipulated by consumer forces so it strikes me as hilarious they think it's that easythey lived through grunge ffs, game devs like these have to try harder if that's what they're trying to doharsh but fair
The best thing about the 90's was the optimism about the future. It had a carefree atmosphere because the Cold war had just ended and the threat of nuclear war was at its lowestAlso, no social media.
>>738648183>The best thing about the 90's was the optimism about the futureThis would be tough to capture if you weren't thereThere was a feeling that we just had to sit back and relax for the 21st century and everything would be just great.
>>738647856>No one would think in this insane wayBro, the Men in Black films are based on a thing half the country was convinced was real. Most fucking people in the 90s believed in aliens and that government agents in a black limousine would come intimidate you if you had contact with aliens.You could buy a whole "non-fiction" book series on this bullshit. They advertised it on television. The 90s was batshit looney.
>>738627470>The lack of use of gay and faggot as a pejorative is glaring.kek, this is so fucking true.
>>738647406>disappointing tits thoughIn more than 90% if cases you have to decide between>face/ass>tits/hipsNeedless to say there's only one correct choice. There are exceptions that have everything, but these are in more than 90% of the cases young chubbies and it's clear how that will play out in the midrun.
>>738631791They use badges for quick and easy display of their slogans so they wont be confused with wrongthinkers.Its pretty intelligent given how psychopatic left is and prone to violence agasint anyone who strays ideologically from the hivemind.Remember when CA vaxxed cattle complained that they have to still wear masks "as they dont want to be confused with a republican"?? Same thing.
>>738626141>endless discourse on unknown gameyeah, this is completely organic
>>738647747Normally means you say so or this phenomenona has a name? Not saying you are wrong.Are you saying "the 90s" are basically end of 80s, 90s, and the transition to 2000s?
>>738641818it was bothalso varying forms of industrial and rave musiclook we don't have to be petty, the 90's was a great year for music trends which would survive to this dayyou need to respect what the 90's did for rap as a rock music listener and vice versa, it's two sides of the same coin imho
>>738626141>>738626795>>738641394I cant help but see Prince Charming in the character design
>>738648090>wutBecause you or that anon are being really weirdly defensive about us pointing out that this game was funded by the Ellisons.>>argh rich peopleAgain, only somebody who is a captain of the industry themselves or paid to defend people like the Ellisons would be so butthurt about some retard on a gaming forum in 2026 complaining about them making and shilling a shitty game everywhere.
>>738640605Skateboarding was guys only where I lived but girls skateboarded all the time when my mom was growing up so one of those things where a hobby is gender neutral, becomes guys-only, then turns gender neutral again as a feminist rebellion thing.

>>738648409possibly one of the most terminal cases of face blind I've seen on this site.god bless you anon.
>>738648401>look we don't have to be petty, the 90's was a great year for music trends which would survive to this dayYes, you're quite right. I was the anon you replied to and my use of "slop" was inappropriateThe 90s was an amazing decade for music
>>738648252The whole second half of the 20th century was just pouring luxury and convenience all over us. Of course we assumed it was going to keep improving.We actually did get AI that does our jobs for us, except we have no unions so we just get fired and replaced by the AI. The Jetsons only got it half right. Mr. Spacely would have just told George to fuck off and die while robots did his job.
>>738648393I'm not aware of a name myself but it understood that the first years of a new decade are more cultural bleedover of the old decade than their own things. And i'm saying it goes end of 80s, 90s 1, 90s 2, and then 90s 3 which blead over into the 2000s till around 2004 when the 2000s really started before getting phased out circa 2012 itsself.
>>738636639Wow anon you sure showed him.That is such a quirky original post, I hope many anons saw it so they could screencap it!Hey, you brainrotted attentionwhoring retard, why the fuck are you even replying if you don't give a shit about other people think?>OH WOW CARING ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK IS STUPID THAT'S WHY I WILL MAKE A LONG ASS RANT AND BE SO CREATIVE IN THE HOPES OTHER ANONS WILL AGREE WITH MEEveryone cares about how they are perceived, obviously when you discuss shit in public about social matters you would doubly care because you're discussing social matters, social implying they relate to other people and how they interact or view the world.How the fuck can anyone discuss about anything social or a community if they don't care about other people?Oh no but you're so original aren't you?Special little virtuous boy that announces he suck cocks yet he totally is his own unique snowflake that doesn't need any approval.I hate this is all this site is now, just ironic>uhm... you care about something? cringe!The captcha should just include gore, so we can weed out people like you
>>738640876BttF was kind of the last gasp of 1950s nostalgia that started in the mid 70s with Happy Days and American Grafitti. Mid-80s on was mostly 1960s nostalgia (Wonder Years, China Beach, It miniseries) or making fun of old hippies (Family Ties, thirtysomething).
>>738648530>The 90s was an amazing decade for musicLook at the Billboard top 100 for any random 90s year and say that again.You meant to say, "I have fond memories of the 90s bands I enjoyed."
>>738648753Playing this on repeat right now
>>738641249This. And it would be the most random shit imaginiable because it would be taping whatever song she liked right when it started playing.Any 80s "mixtape" she'd have would be a fucking soundtrack CD like Grosse Point Blank.
>>738641394>Game is supposedly mid 90s.>Girls have 2000s hair.Every fucking time. No girl would have long hair with bangs like that in the 90s and the one on the left is literally Chloe from Smallville.
>>738647172this man needs TP for his bunghole
why is this 3 hour movie game so popular all of a sudden
>>738648252Islam was an exotic religion that some towelheads, practiced on a desert in country that was most likely fake.USA and Europe were still over 96% white.Even if you were eastern euro, if you survived the post collapse deathmatch, things only looked to go up.
there were no teen lesbian couples and they wouldn't be announcing it to the world
>>738648413>that this game was funded by the Ellisons.They're a publisher that also put out many games in the industry. What's the significance of it? are Neon White and Stray apart of this insidious plot too? i guess what I'm saying is that i don't understand the fixation on the publisher.If you're suggesting that this publisher has guaranteed ways of getting good scores from journos then I suppose I'm open to hearing what you have to say about that. But there's also nothing significant about what any of what it means in who's funding it unless you're willing to elaborate how they gamed the scores. You're suggesting i should know something and that I'm a shill but never really extrapolated on anything. My point was that criticizing the game is really the only thing that matters. Not all of this irrelevant bullshit about 'privilege'. What we're talking about here at the end of the day is whether the scores were undeserved. Undoubtedly but then this point becomes kind of hollow when you change the discussion into a random subjects like 'billionaire class'.
>>738626141Maybe in the US, but not over here.
>>738647809lmfao yeahyeah it was kinda like that
>>738626141>nu-devs nostalgic for a period of time they never experiencedhahahehehahahahahaha, yeah dude and the racial bias and prejudice? Only on TV for drama.
>>738641950Yeah, I'd say the switchover came around '96 or '97. Kid was listening to a CD of Wu-Tang Clan before class and I asked him what it was. Worst fucking music I'd heard in my life up to that point.
>>738648821>Grosse Point BlankPretty good movie. Dan Ackroyd was disturbing
>>738641261Bold of you to assume most people itt had any friends growing up, rather than be constantly bullied and spending all their time indoors playing videogames and avoiding other peopleThe only "looking back" for these people is WoW Classic, because that's where they spent 100% of their formative years.
>>738648640>90s 1, 90s 2,Right, got it. Well, a decade is more than the socio-cultural impact and it's psycho-social implications. I do agree that the shifts are gradual and not single 10 year blocks.

>>738649114I had a similar experience in 99, also with Wu-Tang. Some flip kid was listening to it and lent me his earphone. It sounded like shit but I assumed that it was too advanced for my simple ear.
>>738648821You were at the mercy of your local stations and whatever Casey Kasem was told to play that week.I heard fucking "Send me on my Way" by Rusted Root so god damned much because it was a Pittsburgh band and all the radio stations near me came out of Pittsburgh.

>>738626141No they weren't
>>738642486Eh, no. The only kids at my school who used faggot were the assholes you'd only have one or two classes with because they were too dumb for HA, and wind up getting sent to the Principal's office once a month because they wore a Big Johnson shirt to school and a teacher saw the back before they sat down.
>>738639949
>>738639949are you serious? an entire generation grew up watching a cartoon rabbit constantly dress up in drag, and that's just one example. trannies were presented as something to laugh at, not something you should take seriously
>>738649319larping troon
>>738649321Yeah but that was presented as a horrifying freakshow twist, not something empowering
>>738643712I wasn't molested, and I was born too late into the 90's to be a "90's kid"And my dad left in the 2000's.
>>738643806>Game takes place in Pacific Northwest.>Girl wears t-shirt for Australian tv show no one outside of Australia has ever heard of.If they were at all accurate her playlist would be based on 107.7 The End.
>>738649367That's not a tranny, just a male character in a dress because it was funny and nobody was deconstructing what the term "woman" means.Things used to be so simple. Like the Shrek movies had the ugly sister character, where the idea was incredibly simple and straightforward. And then starting in the 2015 SJW era I would see woke types either assume she was either trans representation or a bigoted idea of a trans person?
>>738649419Didn't say specifically "positive trannies". There were trannies.
>>738649513I'm totally okay with devs inserting little references to their home country, like GTA having Scottish references or Cyberpunk 2077 having Polish references
>>738649423we he molested
>>738648530I mean it was still slopI'm just saying it was a great year for all forms of slopart fags liked the alternative slop and chavs/jocks liked rap slop and dance slopyou aren't wrong, neither of you areit's just those groups didn't mix very often and were very antagonistic so you think back and you remember hanging out with people listening to either "rap/rock" slopnu metal changed that a few years later when that broke into the mainstream and arguably became it's sloppiest form yet
>>738649545right, you don't think it's tranny because you're a normal person. you and me both look at it, think "funny cartoon antics" and the thought process ends there.modern gender cultists spend way too much of their free time theorizing if dressing in drag means bugs bunny is nonbinary or in the closet or an "egg" or whatever, start calling him a trans icon, and obsessively think about the fucking valkyrie bit for years to come.

>>738645661Grew up in a ~250k large town small city and we mostly had shunning rather than bullying. If you were unpopular people mostly left you alone but also didn't really talk to you in class or include you in stuff. I got in one fight Freshman year with some Juniors that had it out for my older brother and that was it.The "jock football player" was complete bullshit as well. At my school all the football players were decent to hang out with, the baseball players were dumb asshole jocks, and the golf/tennis players were snobby rich pricks. (My school had a golf team but didn't have a golf course, so the team consisted entirely of kids whose parents belonged to the local country club and existed as a way for rich kids to letter without joining a real sport.)
Not buying, not watching, not giving a single fuck.Go watch Popples (1986) if you want some good shit.
>>738649930>gender cultistsReminder that they didn't leap out of the ground one day.This magazine cover sparked a sudden inorganic media debate about transsexuals that we're still in the middle of.Who owns Vanity Fair? Advance Publications.Who owns Advance Publications? Donald Newhouse (featured on the Jerusalem Post's top 50 wealthiest Jews)Who was Donald Newhouse's mother? Mitzi Epstein.
>>738626491>>738632070no shitkids did their best not to stand out because kids are fucking cruel and not a single boomer has ever given a shit about bullying.if you were different in any way you got ostracised. simple as. it doesn't matter if it's petty shit like wearing both straps of the backpack or just having to wear glasses or braces. if you stood out in any way, you were a target.
>>738642362>>738642461>usually stays in the backso this was a test run if they can get away with more direct astroshilling in video game space instead movie industryNope, gotcha!
you miss your youth because life was just potential and any outcome could happennow that you are old you are more or less lock in and trap
>>738650416Why did every damn girl have a Popple in its tucked-in form somewhere in their room?
>>738647809There was a brief period in between Grunge and The Matrix that was swing music/Clueless/Friends.
>>738650578they cute
>>738648026Nah, people got bored watching other people play videogames, so if you didn't have a movie to watch you'd wind up "hanging out" which consisted of walking to your old elementary school and sit on the swingsets drinking snapple and shooting the shit.
>>738650592>that weird period in the mid-to-late 90's where everybody was really into swingdance for some ungodly reasonit was the seapunk/vapourwave microgenre of its daylets try and remember that as little as possible
>>738643806>>738649513I remember Rage.Did they do channel V? I'm only a millennial aussie so some of my memory of it was poor. I only remember the later periods in early 2000s.Heres some adverts+interview from back in the 90s for reference though.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMkDBEXIAx8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iEe6uvsC7wHere's jabba interviewing The Prodigy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFFGnGi8lToMy real nostalgia is 2000-2005 but i don't pretend to be a 90s teen either.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKg1eQfp2FU
>>738650686>seapunk/vapourwaveThat was so strange
>>738649513>>738650697Shit, whatever happened to Rage?It couldn't be still on?
>>738643196this anon speaks truth
>>738650447>not a single boomer has ever given a shit about bullyingBoomer teachers would watch someone tackle you into a wall, take the books out of your bag and throw them. Just watching with their arms crossed. They didn't like you either, they wished they could get away with kicking your ass too. They let you know they weren't they to protect you.I love watching their world burn around them. I hope their grandkids are all trans. What a miserable generation of selfish fart-sniffers.
>>738650447I'm Australian so we had uniforms for school and even that didn't stop the petty shit.>the aforementioned backpack straps was a thing too>wearing your school hat straight made you a fag>top button on your shirt done up also made you a fag>wearing your belt normally? better believe it, also makes you a fagGirls did that shit too from what my GF at the time told me (or rather, endlessly complained to me about). Had to roll up her skirt so it was uncomfortable because it was better than the endless spew of shit getting thrown her way for having it be full length, ect.
>>738650808Girls looked so hot in their summer uniforms
>>738626795looks like some feeble gay zeta femboi than a girl
>>738649930One of my favorite things is the genre of posts you see on xitter and the like where they say shit like "your favorite show would be considered woke if it came out today" or "insert franchise here has always been woke". And then the same people complain that anything made before current era is unwatchable and demand things to be more inclusive.>>738645294I'm also from a post-Soviet shithole and while my surroundings were nicer, I heard of cases in shittier schools where a bunch of guys could beat the shit out of someone to near death because a girl ordered them to. Westerners absolutely do not comprehend that the Slavic sphere is essentially a matriarchy where guys are pussy slaves. I've never gotten into trouble for this but I've had people give me shit in high school and later years because I would treat women as equals, not bend down to them.Oh and since I talked about wokeness, a funny thing about woke types in my country is that they are around 5 years or more behind the West. They talk about shit that has been long abandoned by the woke left in America, like the idea that there's dozens or hundreds of genders.
>>738649136Kids nowadays wouldn't realize how popular movie soundtracks were in the 80s and 90s just because it was one of the only ways to get a good mix of songs "officially".I'm pretty sure I owned a lot more soundtrack CDs then band CDs.
>>738649227Hear Good Riddance(Time of your Life) once.>Wow, that was a nice change from Green Day's normal songs.Two months later>Fuckfuckfuckfuck when will it stop!?
>>738650913I'm from central QLD so we never had summer/winter stuff. The only change was girls wore tights and the boys would have to wear a tie in term 2 and 3.
>>738648821>>738650976>Grosse Point Blank.This is the only one I remember from thereYou'd hear it on the radio now and then even in the 90shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE-dqW4uBEE
>>738626141I watched someone play this game for an hour and it seemed like it was made by fags that didn't actually grow up in the 90s or even have an exciting childhood but watched movies from the 80s instead.Also that faggot on the right said "huge if true" and the girl on the left had no idea what a yoyo was and that wasn't even played up as a joke. What fucking warped time period does this game actually take place in???
>>738649374People said gay all the time, and made fun of the gay kids behind their back, but no one said faggot.
>>738651068I was in SA so for summer they had a short one-piece dress, and in winter, tights, a skirt, and either a blazer or a jumperGuys had shorts for summer and long pants + tie for winter
>>738650808I get the feeling a few of us outside of the Commonwealth recognize that the consequences of not being "one of the lads" during your formative years were much worse for you than for the rest of us.All of these British coming-of-age TV dramas featuring school bullying that have been a constant of their television say as much.
>>738651086We didn't even have gay kids openly. To seriously imply that a kid was gay would be scandalous and quite disturbingWe didn't say "faggot" but we said "poofter" constantly
>>738650442Forget 9/11, if I time traveled back to the early 2000s I'd stop the Paris Hilton sex tape from ever getting leaked.
>>738626141who thought it will be good idea to give the guy a "pedostache" ?
>>738651312Oh shit I just noticed thatThat's a total immersion killerThat simply would not exist on a guy that age in the 90s. A kind of beard maybe but not just a stache, no way
>>738650416Always weird to me what got a full cartoon and what only had a pilot.Like Pound Puppies got six seasons and a remake while Popples was just the one episode.
>>738637869they started mass media oversaturation project by then
>>738651052That's burned into my brain forever. They used GR as the song that played over our senior year montage and our graduation ceremony.I can sing it, but I always do it in Billie Joe's inflection>anotha turnin point, a forg stug in the rooooodeI've heard that song probably 30 or 40 more times than I needed to.
What was school like back in the late 2000s/early 2010s
>>738626941>catastropheIt's not a catastrophe. It's a warning.
>>738651125Probably. Something like American schools are so utterly alien to me, I have no idea what the equivalent would be.
>>738649037those weren't astroshilled with industry-wide bribe campaign
>>738650976You pretty much had to own the Beverly Hills Cop and Top Gun soundtracks in the 80s. It was the standard.>The heat is... *thump *thump *thump *thump... ON!https://youtu.be/uZD8HKVKneI?si=xLla9i29blu3Ivh8&t=95
>>738651068>I'm from central QLDLmao same. My highschool was next to a cemetery. >it's a english class where you can watch some dudes casket get lowered into the ground at the funeral you can witness through the windowsGood times?
>>738627084Funny you say that, my dad has worn the same brand, style, and size jean since 1986. When I asked him why he hasn't changed things up his answer was, "nobody else has."
>>738651083Yeah, the yo-yo fad had a big revival in the late 80s when sleepers first came out so the idea a teen in the 90s hadn't seen one is absolutely retarded. It's like someone who grew up in the Beyblade era not knowing what a battle top is.
>>738651474it was all popped collars and tight ponytails where I was, and Usher was really popular for singing the word "YEAH" for quite a few years
>>738651192It was a weird transitional era. My freshman year one of the sophmores comitted suicide because he didn't want to tell his parents he was gay. My junior year one of the more popular guys came out and everyone made fun of him behind his back because he went from talking normally to having "the gay voice".
>>738651474the pants were tight, random fucking colors and patterns and shit. I had a mullet. fucking dumb
>>738651819I actually got rugburn on my knees as a four year old because I kept crawling around the carpet in a circle to that song pretending I was the truck smashing through cars in the car chase.
>>738651416What is with that particular voice they all hadKinda whiny
>>738651474Most of my school years are a blur to me but I vividly remember when napoleon dynamite came out people were quoting it like crazy, drawing ligers on their work and books, and kids would stuff their pockets with tater tots to eat them during class
I don't think zoomers can every truly understand the pre-internet eraAll culture was monoculture, and based on consuming mass-market content like movies or the radio or tvThere were no organic memes because there was no way of disseminating them
>>738652182I'm so fucking glad I was done with school just as facebook was getting really big and camera phones started to be actual usable.So much shit would haunt me if it was filmed and stuck on the internet.
>>738651819Mooooortal Kombaaaaaat
>>738651819>Axel Fmy niggaliterally
>>738652123I think Billie Joe Armstrong was a big fan of British Punk like the Clash so he tried to sing like that on purpose.He's from Oakland, CA so that's definitely not what he sounds like normally.
the 00s sucked cant wait for whatever schlock they come up with to cater to my generation
Dunno if there is anyone here who is either a teacher or interacts with the school system or whatever, but do teachers still take the phones off students?All my school life it was "leave your phone in your locker, and it had to be turned off" and if you were caught with it you had to hand it in to the office to collect it after school.
>>738652241I really do feel bad for kids in school now because of that. They could easily get some of their lowest points recorded and there's nothing they can do about it.
>>738650326Football/cheerleader being alpha teens is a trope far from the truth. You should've known that by now.
>>738626141It was mostly just riding around on skateboards, bikes, or roller blades, watching TV, and going to concerts
>>738652508AFAIK rape is a thing now in Western High schools.
>>738652182Actually there were loads of little islands of culture but basically the whole thing has reversed. You had the monoculture when it comes to the music, TV, movies but also things like weird schoolyard rumors, and then when the internet was smaller than today, weird little websites in the corners of the web. Things like "this game might have a cheat no one has heard of, maybe my friend/cousin has a rare version no one else has". But now the internet is somehow fragmented AND homogenous at the same time.
>>738652182My brother is a zoomer, and he never left the house for most of his childhood. The internet was and is a god to him
>>738652715Being grounded at home was actually a punishment back then parents gave their children. You couldn't go out to play with others and that was the worst shit ever.
>>738626141These 90s nostalgia games are made by people who didn't have childhoods imagining what it would have actually been like
>>738652508I'd have been dead a long time ago if cameraphones existed when I was in high school. I dodged a fucking bullet there. God, it was nice to live without being recorded on a permanent cloud-based system that the whole fucking world can access.At least now there's such a glut of content, only the most humiliating shit isn't forgotten 48 hours later.
>>738652862>>738652715I feel for gen alpha and late zoomers because I'm a millennial but like a patient zero due to my fucked up parents who were obsessed with education above all else and would micromanage my social life. They're developing the same psychological problems as I did but en masse.
>>738652559I worked full time at walmart. I only remember florescent lights and farts.
>>738652956I would have been expelled I think, or at least in so much trouble. We used to have fights in the toilet block (because that was the only place teachers could not go so you wouldn't be caught having a punch up), someone did record some stuff on a grainy as fuck 240p camera but it was useless to tell who was who. A modern 4k iphone camera? Would have been screwed.One dumbass recorded a vape session with a bunch of their mates at school and got the whole group expelled, it made the regional news here lmao.
>>738652559>mostly just riding around on skateboards, bikesI've seen tons of kids doing that around where I am. Just hanging out. They have these chinese electric bikes that go super fast, almost like motorbikes
>>738652956My dad was a psychopath who brought a DV camera 20+ years ago on a school trip, recorded my classmates bullying me and me responding, cut up the footage to make it look like I'm an aggressive unruly poorly behaved piece of shit who started fights and used it as leverage against me, threatening that he'd show it to the teachers. And now there's an entire genre of piece of shit parents who agitate their kids and show it on TikTok.
>>738653103>parents pushed me hard in education because "lmao you're so gifted" and asked teachers to pick me even if i didn't have my hand up (certainly didn't cause an embarrassment when i didn't know the answer)>moved ages away from where i used to have so had no social life outside of school>they wonder why i completely imploded and burnt out at 16
>>738627843I'd be more inclined to play it, I probably still wouldn't since it seems like some faggy shit.>Removed her fire alarmNot even the jew can escape the beeping hallway.
>>738639949lmaowaiting for your cope reply that drag queens and crossdressers aren't trannies
90s revolutionized culture in many ways. electronic music, hiphop culture, rock, freedom with the internet. actual globalization. 90s wasnt gay people listening to 80s rock. hipster era was 2004-2010 with libertines, arcade fire and similar bands. i feel they messed up the timeline very badly.
>>738647450I really should rewatch the first TMNT again.
>>738647450Zoomers aren't cool enough to portray Gen X characters
>>738653650Basically the same for me. Thing is, I wasn't great at studying, just learned to read at an early age which brought me hell. I was forced into long, excruciating study sessions which weren't even efficient because a kid just loses all attention span. I also had my homework micromanaged and supervised by my mother, she didn't trust me that I could do it myself. She basically did everything to make me hate it instead of disciplining me to do them on duty. I hated weekends and I actually preferred being in school because I could at least goof off during lessons.I actually did a little experiment when I was 11, I didn't tell my mom about an upcoming history test so I studied for it in secret. Then I got a better grade than for it than I usually did and revealed it, and what was her reaction? She was FURIOUS and tightened the grip on studying, and started phoning the teachers all the time for test schedules.
>>738651704>industry-wide bribe campaignElaborate.
