>>1806853I wanna start by saying i miss practical effects so fucking much. I think the reason why people enjoy bad 80s movies to this day but stuff like Megan become irrelevant in a year it's because of the use of practical effects over CGI. It doesnt matter how good the CGI is in a movie, it will always feel cheaper and less creative than some good ol 80s effects made with love.

4:3 aspect ratio anime.
I didn't get to watch them on their proper display but the frames always look more full and interesting.
Usually the artstyle of the show isn't cluttered with gradients and other boring details, the colors are more flat but also vivid and give more attention and life to the characters, i think this is also why the animation looks more expressive and smooth than the average 1.78:1 shows, wish it could come back even if we all mostly watch stuff on our computer screens or phones now.

>>1807040This is one of the coolest devices I've held but I've chatted with electronic engineers who warn that they are best for people who do not open their phone an excessive amount per day. They said the screen basically has a statistical upper limit of opens and closes before the screen will malfunction due to the hinge. There is a lot of mechanical movement added compared to a regular smartphone which reduced device longevity. So it's great for those who replace their phone every year anyway or don't open it hundreds of times a day.

They were showing ads for Sonic Adventure 1 and Resident Evil: Code veronica. I begged my mom and saved up all my allowance to get a Dreamcast maybe a year and a half after it was released. It was definitely an underrated console that just came out at the worst time with PS2 around the corner.
I don't have my original Sega Dreamcast, but I managed to get one years ago from a goodwill and I will never forget that feeling of insane joy to have it again. I still have my Shenmue and Sonic adventures for it. Space Channel 5 got me heavily into rhythm games, along with Parappa. I wish they would make rhythm games like that again for PS5.

I miss the "Good Heavens!" flavor of Bluebell ice cream. It was chocolate with sugar cookie dough and vanilla with chocolate chocolate chip cookie dough. Ben n Jerry's Half-Baked flavor is an adequate substitute (which uses chocolate chip cookie dough and brownie batter chunks instead), but I remember the Bluebell sugar cookie dough having a strange, smooth, and almost marshmallowy texture and flavor that I really liked.

I miss the times before everyone was an out and proud weaboo (or other type of otaku/fandomfag). I hate seeing merch everywhere especially men's clothing stores, I hate the social pressure to watch everything. I can't keep up with all the latest hype, so whenever a random person brings up anime to me I just churn out some bullshit I saw about it on the internet to pretend I know - I started using this technique at 15 with my local weeb group, and 10 years later as a grown adult who talks to other grown adults, that is still something that works and now it works with everyone. I was socialized by weebs due to my appearance and liking some Japanese things, now I'm tired of them and I don't want to interact with them outside of here, but even the normiest normie won't stfu about shonen shit. Watching anime with a scrote isn't a romantic date to me. Overall I miss the going outside age… Now everyone is like a mixture of a teenage autist and an old guy with TV brain rot. It all feels so empty.
>>1810689I was too young for the Dreamcast, but I bought a japanese one a few years ago (with Space Channel 5 and Jet Set Radio ofc). I'm not sure if it's the right term but it strongly radiates that sort of new millenium technopositivism, opening that box and starting that console for the first time impacted me almost the same as when I got my actual first console. It made me feel like I was entering a bright new era, even though I live in the actual future and it's bleak af. I smile at it like a retard sometimes

All of mine are Internet related. I miss fan sites. Maybe a few still exist, but not many, it seems. I loved how they'd have all the spergy info and photos the official sites wouldn't. The best were the ones with big communities, and where the actual creators would post there and answer questions. Anything even remotely similar now is just relegated to Facebook.
I miss a time before everything became consumed in politics and culture wars and Gamergate and post-Gamergate shit. Don't get me wrong, forums and all have always been political you'd always have sperging about the Iraq War or whatever, and of course they'd be misogynistic. But it feels even worse now.
I miss when no one talked about troons, and if they did, it was to laugh. Now troons infiltrate even the smaller forums that sometimes still exist, with their tranny shit, talking about gender shit in music, etc.
I even miss when places were moderated by people who used the sites, not corporate overlords. Old school mods could often be fags too, but at least you could halfway shit on them. Unless they were so bad they actively destroyed the forum (I've seen it happen). Nowadays you can't even push back, and branching off to your own place is often futile because everything is shoved onto social media, which falls under the same corporate rules.

For example, today you can find many dentists, and many gamblers, and maybe a guy who's both a dentist and a gambler, but to have someone nowadays who's both a dentist AND a gambler AND a GUNFIGHTER and famous for all three?? Impossible!
Today's careers and ""celebrities"" are so boring, I bet the people back then had more fun.

>>1857522Not that my daddy issued ass is usually attracted to men my own age anyway (my fatal flaw) but I feel like no actors born after the mid 90s are attractive. I've liked some weird looking men, or what could be considered basic men, it's not like I have high standards.
a few moids closer to my age like Devon Bostick or Dylan O'Brien are my "type". they're hardly in movies (latter had an accident that made him step back from films, the former just doesn't act a lot).
it is always the ones I find boring or ug shoved in my face like some kind of psyop to indoctrinate me that piss me off. Saltburn dudes or that Mescal guy, Timmy Chalalalamydia, some boring blonde or blonde adjacent man like Taylor Swifts ex. Kpop idols are also fucking bogged and gross looking to me. Ehhhh on all of them. There's no current looks match for a young Keanu or Matt Dillion any man I found hot from the 80s-00s, I wasn't even attracted to young Leo but he bests all modern "heartthrobs" in the looks department.
This generation deserves better. I was born in the wrong decade.
