>You can no longer go down to the arcade and find a new and awesome machine with mind blowing 3D graphics. Or find a new 2D game with the best smoothest sprite animation yet.

How do you deal with the fact that the 90s have passed and won't return. It's really difficult for me.

I remember the time in the 90s when so many shopping malls have indoor rollercoasters.

Then they all got demolished/removed/shut down.

Why is fun not allowed after the 90s ended?

it´s hard to swallow that you´re getting old and new games arent gold ofc it feels shitty but like personally i´m plannin to go thru classics and join the right now of gaming with PS4 within this year. maybe in 20 years someone will be nostalgic about 2010 magic if people stop being complete dicks about modern gaming
What I miss most of all is the time before multiplayers got online because that´s where everything went south

The only innovative thing listed in that post is PE and maybe VS.

You wanna talk innovative for Square? Bring up Racing Lagoon, Front Mission Alternative, SaGa, Tobal or Bushido Blade.

What I actually miss about 90's Square was their effort in branching out to other genres, they did fighting games, racing games, platformers, survival horror, SHMUPS, you name it.

Now it's only shitty RPGs/A-RPGs with some decent title once in a while, the actually good games they did after 2000 are really just a handful.
And good lord, don't make me talk about their mobage division.

It is 80s in that the system came out in the 80s, sure, but it was still widely used throughout the early 90s and had new, official games developed for it until the mid-90s. The console's mainstream lifespan objectively covered both the 80s and early 90s.

Everything else is spot on though. And let's be honest, some of that nu metal shit was pretty catchy. I know its trendy to hate on metal these days(as if electronic music or modern hip hop/rap is any fucking better) but nu metal really wasn't as bad. It was funny seeing how badass those fuckers thought they were, I'll admit.

The NES is an 80s console in that it was indeed released in the 1980s. That is a fact. However, the fact that the vast majority of the console's library was released in the 1990s, including one of the system's most beloved first party titles, shows that the NES was still popular and culturally relevant throughout the first part of the 1990s.

This is all talking about the US side of things, of course.

I don't get why people shit on Bushido Blade 2. It was a step in the right direction and made the gameplay much tighter while retaining the core mechanics. The series EASILY could have expanded and had more sequels imo, no clue why it didn't, probably sales. SaGa games are great, Frontier being my favorite and I still enjoy Tobal 1 and 2. Again, sales to blame that we didn't get Tobal 2 worldwide...

Stuff like big beat was an attempt at marketing electronic music as a sort of pop music instead of a club-oriented genre. Artists like The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, The Crystal Method were marketed as new up and coming rock acts to the american mass.

Born in 94 so my perspective is much different than majority here but i vaguely remember 98 and definitely remember 99 and 00. I remember going to disney world in 99 and you just got in no extra security and the airports whenever i visited family down south. Also all the old Johnny Quest and Casper reruns on Cartoon network and Digimon om Fox Kids. I remember when Smash was fairly new and my cousin got it and i snuck into his room to play it.

No, no it wasn't. The early seasons were so bad they took Matt Stone off the writing team, and only then did it really go anywhere. It was good for awhile in the 00s, and that's it. The early years survived on 12yo shock humor alone (what was shocking for late 90s TV, anyway).

Decades stopped ~2001, around the same time games stopped being retro. There will be no more decades. From now on, all pop culture will be an essentially unchanging, amorphous, social media-controlled blob, with no changing of the guard to clear things out every 10 years. If Justin Bieber had been born earlier, for example, he'd have been an embarrassing 80s/90s "thing" and be forgotten when the next decade started. But all future decades have been cancelled, so he's here until he dies.

Welp, i guess we at least have a small patch of the 80's/90's. Interestingly there seems to be an increased nostalgia for the 80's-90's - ie tape sales increased - recently so it seems like we aren't the only people yearning for another time.

While I disagree with him on the games thing--gen 6 is VERY different from gen 8--he's otherwise right in the sense that distinct cultural/aesthetic trends have largely stopped, as has overall technological advancement. The last thing I can think of was the skater/emo thing and that was basically a gayer offshoot of 90s skater/goth kids. Oh, and there was the gangsta show-your-ass lowriding rap bullshit of the early 00s which was an edgier corporate-sponsored version of 90s rap culture. Hipsters are kinda new, I guess, but otherwise everything might as well still be 1999. Only smartphones would really look out of place, and then only barely.

The Hot 100 has always been like that. But there are differences. In the 2000s, hip hop is all Neptunes or Timbaland produced, with busy interlocking beats and sci-fi bleeps, and is the dominant music genre. Rock was either Nirvana-influenced post-grunge or twee indie stuff, and there was a clear separation between "indie" and "mainstream" music. Electroclash, trance and IDM were relevant genres of electronic music. Ed Banger was once the coolest record label in the world.

None of this really applies to the 2010s, with their woah-oh-ohs and their MUSTARD ON THE BEAT HOs and their 90s house pianos and their EDM superstars.

Except trannies who permanently transition, and are nothing new anyway. Or furries for that matter, who will always be furries regardless of whatever else they do. "Free love" didn't die btw, guys still try to bang as many chicks as possible and girls try to bang the richest guy they can find to take his money and bang more on the side. If anything it's traditional pairings that are dying out, in the west anyway. What was started in the 60s is now virulent and total to the point where court systems and politics are dominated by it.

Later "nu metal" was practically rap at the end of the day. People called System of a Down nu metal when they were really just avant garde/pop with yelling and metal guitars.

Korn on the other hand, well, its hard to fucking describe those fucking dudes. I've never liked them though admittedly they have SOME catchy tunes. "Nu Metal" was just some bullshit catch all term for any heavy sounding band that didn't sound like Slayer Megadeth Black Sabbath or Metallica.

Yeah they were doing something a lot different compared to all that alt rock/pop and grunge that was popular int he mid 90s.. I could be wrong but it seems like people just copied their sound once they got to be a household name a few years later, then copy cats came out of the woodwork.

I'm not a big Korn fan or anything but I did discover them when their first album came out in '94 and always respected that they were pretty unique for their time.

And yeah you're spot on about that. There was nothing really different about nu metal compared to regular metal besides the rap influence and the lack of guitar solos.

I'm not saying you're wrong because Korn certainly influenced a lot of artists, but I'm having a hard time thinking of any copy cats other than that one Sepultura cd, the name escapes me because I really didn't even like them before they copied Korn.

I guess I just wasn't into it so I'm not the most knowledgeable.

I will defend early South Park. Thought it was like an early Simpsons that focused on world-building a town full of crazy characters than of celebrity cameos and cultural parodies.

As for Buffy the Vampire Slayer I really liked it until the characters made a transition from high school to university. From that point the characterization went absolutely haywire, like as if proto-tumblr had been put in control of producing the series.

I honestly think it was still kind of good. Like, not AS good, but not in such a way that it was unwatchable.
I sat through the series recently, and as a whole, it was actually better than I remember.
I noticed the occasional liberalism (most likely forced in by Whedon), but they were largely few enough that they didn't detract from the rest of the show.
I'll say, seeing an actor who is known as pro-gun (Sarah Michelle Gellar), reading lines such as "Guns don't solve anything", is pretty funny, and then the irony being that the character in question regularly uses violence and deadly weapons to solve her problems, things that likely went over Whedon's head.

When I said proto-tumblr I didn't really mean liberalism directly, I meant like pandering to the trendy whims of teenage fangirls (which liberalism is a part of I guess).

Like making Willow a lesbian out of nowhere even though she had a boyfriend and the show never even hinted that she doubted her sexually. Or the fact that they made Willow the show's most powerful character even though that undermined the entire premise.

Or how they were trying to slip Spike into everything and ship him with everyone (and have him in every scene with his shirt off) or how Xander got turned into an emasculated pussy. I actually think the show didn't have a single good new character after they left high school.

Buffy started out as a show I thought that was squarely aimed at everybody in high school, no matter who you were you could get something out of it because it was well written, fun and had attractive characters of both genders. But after a point I think they just pandered squarely at the female equivalent of neckbeards. That's not to say there weren't good individual episodes in later seasons that I like.

So the first time the N64 offered a gold controller was via Nintendo Power in 1997, but you would clearly be able to see the different Nintendo Power logo on the controller from here. It was bigger and darker than the stamped Nintendo logo you usually see.

The next time you could get a gold controller was as a pre-order bonus for Majora's Mask, which means that this picture is late 2000, at the earliest.

Yeah I've noticed this. I used to see so many amusement centers set up around cities, malls, etc. Rollercoasters, fairs, attractions. All of it gone. Arcades of course are part of that.

I also remember a lot of places used to have glorious water features, and those are gone too.

Perhaps people will be more careful and suspicious of politics in the future.
But maybe I'm just day-dreaming.

If you don't have much of a connection to malls this is probably boring to you. This is one of those "urban explorer" guys. He has a series were goes and walks through dead malls and shows all the empty stores etc.

I think it's interesting just because I remember how crazy packed just about all malls used to be in the 90s.

Majority of 3D arcade games back then were like that. Most Dreamcast games were like that. Gamecube games and even some of the less popular PS2 games were like that also.

But fact remains that the overall gaming style throughout the 00's was influenced and dominated by the gritty style of games like CoD, God of War, etc. And looking back, Microsoft and PC gaming are to blame for this than the PS2.

Why intentionally close yourself off? I can see not liking current trends (lord knows I dislike many), but one or two games every few years that are worth at least looking into, or looking at things that are just a few years old and see if they had a lasting appeal, and then why.

The 90's had 6th gen-esque gritty games as well. Resident Evil, House of Dead as anon mentioned, to name a few.

All Sony and Microsoft did was exploit styles based on consumer feedback. As to why the consumers preferred to play gritty yellow games instead of clean blue games, my bet is it's due to them being sickened of utopian societies after the WTC attacks took place and the war in Iraq had begun.

And that's just some of what I can think about of the top of my head (some I liked more than others), you'd be tossing out a lot of great titles by ignoring Gen 6 entirely, and it saddens me that you think it has no value just because the banal and uninspired coexisted with it (which happened in previous Gens anyway).

there isn't a universal objective agreement what 'marriage' entails, it is literally a social construct

DOMA is just enforcing one particular social perspective, which is at odds with liberal values which prefers social constructs to be loosely enforced or individually interpreted

i happen to take the liberal side of things, but at the same time, i also understand that there is nothing objectively 'wrong' with DOMA unless you agree with liberal values

It's bizarre how memory works. It's 2016 and 2006 seems fairly recent to me. I have nostalgia for it, I can sense it was 10 years ago, but it still feels recent. In contrast, back in 2006 I thought of 1996 and it seemed so far away, in 2006 I was 20, and in 96 I was 10, that's a huge change. From 20 to 30, there's not really a big change.

Aside from the fact that it literally excludes lots of people from the legal contract of marriage by a very arbitrary logic.

I don't even really like marriage particularly, but it has a legal definition, and there's tax breaks, why should the state now take a moral stance on it and determine some couples aren't valid for it based on something that doesn't actually matter in the grand scheme of things?
A marriage is a marriage, what point is there to separate a fag marriage from a normal marriage?

Not if the state is to legally define it and give special treatment for it.
Christfags did this to themselves, you wouldn't have this problem with separation of church and state, then they couldn't tell you that you can't refuse faggot marriages.
But because you want the state to coddle you and give you special treatment, you've effectively set yourself up for this.

Holy shit someone gets it. You lost the tradition argument the minute marriage became a legal status. A church can deny whoever they want, Catholics won't marry a Jewish couple for example. But you can't say that a couple aren't allowed the legal recognition. Someone will do it, and justices of the peace HAVE to.

You just redeemed a little of my faith in humanity anon. Thank you.

I don't remember Discovery Zones, we probably didn't have them in my country.

Arcades were never big where I lived so I can't speak for them.

Going out with friends at night I honestly don't think has changed, parents will be parents and kids will be kids.

As for cartoons, they're still made, and old ones are available, kids now watch them at their leisure via streaming services and torrents, where you just as easily can find old goldies as you can new ones, and then ignore the shitty ones that networks would sometimes force onto us back in the day.

I kind agree. Some of the cool tech we had today almost existed, but was either hideously expensive, or it was shit. Cellphones were dull as shit until the normalization of smartphones, before that they were weak and barely capable of anything good.

Also the AWB wasn't over until 2004, so have fun paying $1600 for a pre-ban WASR-10 with a wobbly-ass magwell, and $80 a piece for 30rd magazines with worn out springs.

Otherwise, I liked a lot of PC, GBA, DS and PS2 games from the time.
Though I ended up emulating a heap of SNES games because it was free and I never had a SNES as a kid.

9/11 changed everything, though a lot of the bad shit it brought had it's seeds planted in the 90's.

I have converted one room in my basement into a 90's "safe" zone. The illusion is pretty much perfect - just want to get some woodpanelling on the walls.

Big old wooden speakers and furniture, only old beaten up blankets and pillows on the old beaten up couch, a 32" CRT and only retro consoles (the collections something like 70% NES), my VHS tape collection and my record collection.

It's a fantastic way to escape the stress of modern life for an hour here and there. Check my cellphone at the door and then I'm free.

Tons of drug dealers and prostitutes are really bad people tho.. I mean I don't think they should be procecuted for small things like selling weed or just having sex either but come on. A lot of them are dangerous criminals.

As for public schools, they are fine, they just need a HUGE reform. They need to get rid of unions and hire on merit. They also need to put way more funding into schools than they already do. The government keeps slashing funding to public schools and they have to treat children like salesmen for fundraising. It's pretty pathetic.

Really? I thought it was novel. I mean yea too much patriotism can be obnoxious, but I was 18-19 in 2001 and I felt a great sense of "togetherness" with the patroitism at the time. Everyone appreciated each other because we are all Americans. Yeah there was some racism brewing at the time but it felt nice to see everyone embrace each other.

I rather have that than what we have now, which is total civil war between liberals and people who support Trump, which is just downright ridiculous and self parody at this point.

>Tons of drug dealers and prostitutes are really bad people tho
That's because what they do has been criminalized and they're forced to live in the criminal underworld.

If prostitution was legal, it would be safe, they could have protection from the law, they can take clients AND employers to court if necessary, they can get health insurance specifically for their occupation and get regular professional health-care, they can unionize, they can operate safer and cleaner and learn safer and better sex, they have a greater choice in their working conditions, etc.

The problem with drug dealers comes from prohibition and the huge black market fueled by the war on drugs, they wouldn't be even close to as big of a problem otherwise, many wouldn't even be in that line of work if it wasn't as lucrative as it is. Also, if the stuff was legal, you could get a (substantially) safer, cleaner, cheaper and better product from a manufacturer you can hold legally accountable and take to court if you get a bum product.
I think it would also be a much better idea to treat drug addiction as a health-problem instead of as a criminal behavior.

Great points, I guess you do have a point that a lot of those people are hardened criminals in the end because the system does force them in a life of crime. You can't really get a decent job if you have a felony on your record..

Prostitution I suppose could be legal. I don't really care about that but it has worked in other countries.

And I agree I think drugs should be legal and just highly regulated. And yeah drug addiciton definitely needs to be taken more seriously as a health/mental problem than a criminal problem. That is a big problem in this country. As is the fact that the DEA thinks we can get rid of all drugs coming into our country, and wasting our tax payer dollars for something so fruitless. Not to mention like you said, many lives are being wasted and ruined.

Don't be so dense.

His songs are simple but they have surprisingly decent melodies. The reason his lyrics are incoherent is because he treats his voice as just another instrument.

As I said, taken on its technical merits it's pretty bad stuff. But it's got a sort of greater-than-the-sum-of-all-parts quality. That's probably why the band got so big.

It really is ridiculous isn't it. Right after it happened almost everyone could agree on one thing, that whoever was behind the attack should be blown off the fucking planet. Then we shitstomped Iraq and everything went downhill from there.

Now today we have the left claiming moral and intellectual superiority while painting the right as uneducated gun toting hicks. Which closely mirrors what was going on in the early-mid 90's when Pat Robertson / evangelicals were trying to hijack the right and paint the left as baby killing satan worshiping hippies. It's shit like this that is tearing the country apart.

I really hope we can at some point go back to a more classical sense of liberal / conservative. So much focus on gun control, abortion, social justice, drug war, etc... all while our public schools, infrastructure, cities, are circling the fucking drain.

Honestly think we should try and get closer to pre-WW2 as far as being an isolationist country until we can get our shit together and debt under control. By all means we should send aide/help to countries who are struck by natural disasters and such, but as far as toppling governments and spreading democracy we need to just take a breath and hopefully decide that it's none of our fucking business.

If you're white and not rich, your portion of American society peaked at the moon landings.

Then the Apollo program was cancelled, the last bits of Bretton Woods were dismantled, and the American economy was gutted and sold off piecemeal to satisfy Wall Street.

You're joking, right? The 90s were when the PC culture took over full force. Every kids show had to have a representative fron every race and everyone was afraid of possibly insulting anyone else.

Exactly. Spot on. That is the main thing that really baffles me about what is "topical" these days. It's almost like they purposely pick the more insignificant issues to make a big deal about, meanwhile people are thrown out of their homes, cost of living is rising, public schools are hemorrhaging funding, crime is rising, infrastructure crumbling, wages are too low etc..

Sure. It's kind of cyclical. Once the term "political correctness" came about in the mid-90s to describe that sort of attitude, it became a laughing stock and died down.

Somehow now it's back and about three times more extreme, maybe as a reaction to the "FUCK YEAH AMERICA" years post 9/11. At least in the 90s mainstream culture still saw people like Andrea Dworkin as a nutty man-hating lesbian, rather than some kind of role model.

Of course. It's the naval-gazing obsessions of the bourgeois (or more contemporary, known as first world problems). The comfort of the middle class allows them to be concerned with PC-enforcement or Jesus-enforcement depending what side of politics they come from.

They do not think about the plight of the poor because these thoughts never normally come into their heads.

It's fucking amazing, isn't it?
The 90's had a very wide range of first person shooters, ranging from bizarre and over the top to near realistic (or, attempted realism at least), with everything in between.

While modern FPS have become a bit formulaic, I've noticed that some games are making moves towards the more fantastical kind of action and gunplay, and it gladdens me that we're seeing a comeback of that, even if it's slow, and even if it isn't overtaking the mainstream.

I think there is a demand in the modern market for fantastical first person shooters still, we just need the right kind of games to show people what they don't know they want.

Your freedoms should pretty much be an inalienable right.
But if you try to steal, rape, or murder, you're infringing on another's rights to not be robbed, raped or murdered, and you don't have the freedom to infringe on people's rights.

Infringing on another persons rights then also logically opens you up to be resisted and retaliated against, up to and including lethal force if necessary (justifiable homicide), to cease you being a threat to their property/life/butt, because a person has the right to defend against aggression and infringement against their rights.
