Yeah I would argue the bigger shift was smartphones and social media. 9/11 was a moon landing-tier event, while the proliferation of iPhones and social media literally changed the way society functioned altogether.
You were a fricking child. You don't understand "life" before smartphones because you didn't have a life. I don't understand the nuances of the impact the OJ Simpson Trial had on the US because I was a fricking child at the time, even if I remember the trial being culturally relevant.
I watched every goddamn season of the Simpsons that the internet jacks off to as being the best seasons of the show, but I didn't get most of it because I was too young.
*I* can tell you what it was like to be an adult before iPhones. What it was like to grow up in a pre-smartphone era. A pre-broadband internet era. You don't have even the faintest inkling of what it was like.
Now shut the frick up and stop trying to LARP.

Yeah you can tell me what it was like being an ADULT before iPhones, I'll give you that. However, I can remember what the world was like before smartphones existed, which is something 90% of the Internet can't anymore. I spent my entire years in elementary without an iPhone in sight. Kids these days spent literally their entire lives with an iPhone or iPad in their hands from birth.

Oh. So you have the valuable insight of a preteen without an iphone. Good for you. We are all blessed with the gift of your knowledge. What would we ever do without knowing what it was like to have the vast capacity of even a remote understanding of existence that a child has for all of about 4-5 years tops before smartphones were dropped.
And all that from just after you stopped shitting yourself, at that! Kudos!

Tell your coworkers that you argue with 20 year olds on a website about BBC porn, politics and anime. Report back with how they react.

The suck started in 1999. In 2001 the US went full moron and never fully recovered. We had been running on fumes left from the 80s and 90s. The economic collapse of '07 was the final nail in the coffin. We've just been going through the motions ever since.

Cartoon Network started being carried by my cable provider back in 1995.
I was born in 02' and I remember what it was like pre-9/11. The last thing I remember before being born in this new form was being in the pilot seat on a plane heading into two very similarly looking towers.
I was born in 89 and I very much remember the world before 9/11. But the thing that always sort of bugs me is that nostalgia media about the 90s never really gets it right because everything is cranked up to 11. The 90s were absolutely not this weird kooky Saved-By-The-Bell neon explosion. Most everything was the same drab brown, olive-colored furniture, and wood panel walls your parents had from the 70s. I promise almost everyone watched TV on a big fake wooden box as a kid.
They always try to pigeonhole every decade as a specific thing with a specific style. Every decade has bleed over from the previous two decades because styles don't change that fast. The same cars are around. The same furniture and clothing is still around. People don't just up and change instantly when the calendar ticks over
>Every decade has bleed over from the previous two decades because styles don't change that fast.
It's also because most people don't replace stuff they own very often. No one is remodeling their house that was built in the 70s unless they're super wealthy, and most people aren't replacing their furniture or TV or whatever. Like, maybe at some point during the decade your parents might have splurged on a big TV or a new fridge or something, but most people didn't do that very often so most of their shit was old.
Also things didn't just magically explode and become pop-culture icons like they do today. If you didn't see a movie or play a game or something, everything you knew about it came from word of mouth or from magazine articles or maybe a TV spot. It wasn't like we just had the internet force-feeding us information about every movie and game and show and band 24/7, or that you could just pop over to Youtube and watch an hour-long dissertation on it. Literally most things that people "knew" about media and stuff was just flat out wrong because it was all secondhand from friends and rumors.
Nah, 81 here. Only memories I have of 83 are falling face first into a pile of snow while wearing a full snowsuit and my dad reading to me by candlelight during a snowstorm that knocked our power out. First gaming memory I have is getting an NES for Christmas which wasn't for another couple of years if I recall correctly.
I just turned 21 and I'm in the US Air Force. I come on here because sometimes I need a break from gooning to Dua Lipa and Millie Bobby Brown. The skin on my BBC (white women love it) is peeling off. And don't say homie again b***h ass CRACKER. I would heel hook your honkey ass.

I had that. I remember being a kid and all the older kids and my young as frick mom and aunt were always trying to introduce me to 80s stuff.
The only thing from the 80s I liked as a kid was TMNT and the life action movie. The rest of it was like trying to pinch and hold your nose until the stink of it ended. I know Nicktoons were nothing more than the most vile israelite propaganda, but they were miles ahead of the vapid toy commercials that were GI Joe and that kind of dreck.
I have a better appreciation for that decade as an adult, but as a kid I didn't want to fricking watch Karate Kid or The Goonies.
Fun fact: the reason the NES is called the Nintendo Entertainment System is because people were so sick of video games after ET that Nintendo needed to call it an "entertainment system" for it to sell.
at least buy a commodore or appleII or something
its genuinely over for atari now, even coleco is going to drop support for their console soon and switch to selling computers
People forget home computers like the Commodore 64 becoming affordable was a major reason for the console crash.
Fun fact: the reason the NES is called the Nintendo Entertainment System is because people were so sick of video games after ET that Nintendo needed to call it an "entertainment system" for it to sell.
A big reason the NES helped bring consoles back (along with the Atari 2600 Jr. re-release for poorgays) is because Dad decided he didn't want to share said home computer anymore.
Talk about a complete fricking 180 to go from Closer to the Edge to Owner of a Lonely Heart.
And it's not like they eased into it like other bands from the era. No they just fricking flipped a light switch one day and said, "Frick it. We're synth-pop now."
Yo guys look at how cool these neon purple grids and palm trees and Roman Statues are!!! So radical!!! Let's go blast some synthwave at max volume in my Delorean!
what sort of look was scott going for with these graphics
its too detailed for consoles at that time so I always thought it was supposed be like the commodore64
It started off very obviously influenced by the Atari 2600 in the second game but then veered more into something like the C64 or ZX Spectrum in the later ones
Nah son, in the 90s everything that was popping in America was made in Japan. Nintendos, Gameboys, Tamogatchis, Pokemon, Segas, Ataris, calculators, watches, cars, motorcycles, etc. They were cranking out all of that shit.
It kinda seemed that way. They legitimately were the electronics manufacturing powerhouse that a lot of the world relied on. It just turned out that China was able to do it cheaper and with less concern for human rights.
Not only that, but the US also fell for the Yellow Peril scare and gimped the Japs intentionally. Now their Yen is pegged to our Dollar and when it enters death spiral state, the dollar will follow suit because the US economy and fiat currency is the only thing propping up the Yen.
Didn't the Yen tip below 150 per $1 recently? Or is it just super close to that.
7 months ago

I don't know. I don't follow it. But I know about the Japanese government forcing their local corps to buy yen bonds and about them trading them to the US for US dollar bonds at 1%. Nobody in their right mind would buy a currency bond at 0%. Nor would they even do 1%. Even that is stupidity. For all the talk of "DA JOOZ" there's a lot of very scary things happening around us every day that does not get talked about.
The US is the only thing keeping the Japanese economy solvent. If the Japanese economy goes deeply into the negative, then the US dollar will get sucked into it. We will enter death spiral stage.
Ataribros... I'm starting to get concerned. If consoles are really doomed, what computer should I buy: Apple II, Texas TI-99/4A, or Commodore 64? And don't say IBM PC, that thing sucks.
THE COLLAPSE IS COMING, BROS!
I know we like joke about it, but I'm dead serious this time. The future of gaming is looking grim, and I don't like where it's heading. GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!

Man, if only I had a time machine. Hopefully I live long enough for full dive VR to become a thing.
I've been letting my little kid James play with my Atari 2600 but when he does his language gets awful, he said he'd rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in his ear than keep playing that shit. I don't even know what that means.
Intellivision is great, it has the Intellivoice with real speech in my games. Different genders, accents, races.
Shitty Atari only has another space shoot game.
Anon I’m 40 and I was less than one in 1983, no one here knows what it was like then even me.
Yeah but that doesn't stop zoomies born in like 1996-1998 from acting as if vividly remember the pre-9/11 years
I was born in 99 and I don't remember that but I do remember a time before the iphone and it was kino
Yeah I would argue the bigger shift was smartphones and social media. 9/11 was a moon landing-tier event, while the proliferation of iPhones and social media literally changed the way society functioned altogether.
No you don't. Just like I don't remember the USSR days.

Wow, only one crackhead defecating on my lawn this morning AND my Ford didn't explode when I started the engine.
Yep, good times
Video games are the devil
What about 1994?
Yo guys look at how cool these neon purple grids and palm trees and Roman Statues are!!! So radical!!! Let's go blast some synthwave at max volume in my Delorean!

goo goo ga ga
Wizardry>>>>>Your favorite game
CAAAAUSE IIIII'M YOOOOUUU LAAAAAAAADAAHHHH
For me it was the
MONSTER BALLADS
I didn't really start gaming until the early 90s with Super Nintendo, Game Boy and Sega Mega Drive, but played a bit of Atari and Commodore 64 prior.
>Super Mario Bros released 3 months ago
>no new threads
I am forgotten
Fricking hippies, get off my board.
This thread is nothing like 1983.
sadly this is still Ganker so redditers got triggered and are having a meltdown
Yeah, the '80s were actually kind of nice. Unless you were on the other side of the Iron Curtain.
>fricking boomers with their shitty rock music
>go take some LSD instead of buying a house you mongrel
goo goo gaga I'm a baby who was just barely born. ET for the Atari 2600 is the best game ever.
HOLY SHIT TURN ON CNN FREDDY JUST BIT A KID'S FRICKING HEAD OFF
Bro that would have been local news, not national.
what sort of look was scott going for with these graphics
its too detailed for consoles at that time so I always thought it was supposed be like the commodore64
It started off very obviously influenced by the Atari 2600 in the second game but then veered more into something like the C64 or ZX Spectrum in the later ones
Why did this make me laugh so hard I've never even played FNAF
>1983
Ahh yes the year /vg/ board was added. It really didn’t help much.
theres nothing more pathetic than being proud of being an oldgay
if I could go back in time I'd shoot myself before I ever found this website
You still have time to 41% yourself, “Suzanne” or whatever your trans name is.
You're the one hanging out on an old people's website.
yeah because I'm old and cant stop torturing myself
I'm here because it's my generation's contribution to the giant pile of shit that's the internet. What's your excuse?
even if this place is liquid shit everywhere else is worse
No disputing that.
bros, so I got a cheese platter and the Gruyere? Hooooooly shit man, on a cracker
fricking GOD TIER
ayyyyy im tha frickin eighties ova here
guys it's almost literally 1984
The industry is fricking dead, those homosexuals at Atrari shit the bed, nothing good is coming out. It’s over bros video games are done.
JAPAN IS GOING TO RULE US FROM THEIR 1% ISLAND AND WE ARE GOING TO BE ECONOMIC SLAVES TO THEM!!!!
japan makes nothing but cheap bootleg garbage though
Nah son, in the 90s everything that was popping in America was made in Japan. Nintendos, Gameboys, Tamogatchis, Pokemon, Segas, Ataris, calculators, watches, cars, motorcycles, etc. They were cranking out all of that shit.
get back in your time machine moron its 1983
People in the 80s legit thought the Japanese would conquer the planet through economics.
It kinda seemed that way. They legitimately were the electronics manufacturing powerhouse that a lot of the world relied on. It just turned out that China was able to do it cheaper and with less concern for human rights.
Not only that, but the US also fell for the Yellow Peril scare and gimped the Japs intentionally. Now their Yen is pegged to our Dollar and when it enters death spiral state, the dollar will follow suit because the US economy and fiat currency is the only thing propping up the Yen.
Didn't the Yen tip below 150 per $1 recently? Or is it just super close to that.
I don't know. I don't follow it. But I know about the Japanese government forcing their local corps to buy yen bonds and about them trading them to the US for US dollar bonds at 1%. Nobody in their right mind would buy a currency bond at 0%. Nor would they even do 1%. Even that is stupidity. For all the talk of "DA JOOZ" there's a lot of very scary things happening around us every day that does not get talked about.
The US is the only thing keeping the Japanese economy solvent. If the Japanese economy goes deeply into the negative, then the US dollar will get sucked into it. We will enter death spiral stage.
lol that's the year my dad was born
my dad owned multiple houses and cars and had just started his own business at the time
he was 24
so did mine, but mine died a few years ago at 54 from doing too many drugs so I guess I win in the end
Anons, help! I want to get out of this year! Nipah~
Ataribros... I'm starting to get concerned. If consoles are really doomed, what computer should I buy: Apple II, Texas TI-99/4A, or Commodore 64? And don't say IBM PC, that thing sucks.
wait for the coleco adam
its going to be the ultimate games machine as well as a computer
>Atari announced a revenue loss of $536 million this year
it's over, Ataribros...we lost...

>Came into this thread knowing that there is a 75% chance some zoomer is trying to get people to post digdug porn

THE COLLAPSE IS COMING, BROS!
I know we like joke about it, but I'm dead serious this time. The future of gaming is looking grim, and I don't like where it's heading. GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!
>1983
Where's that Cold War gone hot" ARMA/SQUAD/whatever game?
Here. The movie is also a fricking classic.
>reflections don't match up
lmao wtf
I was tempted to joke: "the reflections are wrong because raytracing didn't exist yet." Well, guess what...
>40 fricking dollars for a game
Yeah fricking right lmao these games are never gonna take off, this shit's gonna crash and burn
Guys I heard they are making a new Mario Bros. game, but this time, you have to travel through landscapes, underground, water areas etc...
You'll also travel through castles and fight a giant fire breathing turtle. Shit is insane.
>1983
Did console even exit outside of Japan? What were euros playing?
>What were euros playing?
Various home computers, especially the ZX Spectrum for most people, or the Commodore 64 and the BBC Micro if you were rich.

>Figuring out how the hell BASIC works on my Apple II so I can make my own games
Man, if only I had a time machine. Hopefully I live long enough for full dive VR to become a thing.
Would've been funny if nobody replied and the thread died
I've been letting my little kid James play with my Atari 2600 but when he does his language gets awful, he said he'd rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in his ear than keep playing that shit. I don't even know what that means.
I was 7 years old in 1983
Dang man. Hope you're spending your last few years well.
>Hope you're spending your last few years well.
I'm still posting in this shithole. So, no, i'm not.
can't find a copy of michael jackson's thriller anywhere bros all sold out
Mmm, only 9 more years until the hot summer of '92.
there was no internet in 1983
Intellivision is great, it has the Intellivoice with real speech in my games. Different genders, accents, races.
Shitty Atari only has another space shoot game.
>almost died at birth in 83
>needed blood transplant
>they didnt test for aids til 1984
