Neddy Seagoon posted:If you've not played Hypnospace Outlaw, you should. It's literally 90's Internet: The Game. Thanks! One Terabyte of Kilobyte Age & other projects by Olia Lialina and Dragan Espenscheid influenced the development of the game pretty significantly. I was even able to meet them in Stuttgart! Without spoiling much if you enjoy the concept of digital archaeology the latter half of the game will be 1000% in your wheelhouse. As for this thread, Net Cafe owns and was also a big influence on Hypnospace. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP0tPxAgInY

Same, but also Alanis. *sigh* I know this song and video is just outside the '90s, but Alanis is forever '90s for me and she has never looked or sounded more beautiful than in this video singing this song so in the thread it goes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMm4og01XGw

Mars attacks and independence day both had the toyline come with 3 1/2 inch floppies with games on them. I want to say there was a matchbox or hot wheels toyline that did the same?

Speaking of Extremely 90s Internet, anyone else read Dave Barry in Cyberspace? Remembering the stereotypical boomer describe proto-memes was a bit surreal.

The name Dave Barry is 90s as gently caress. Like Red Green or Jeff Foxworthy.

SubNat posted:You can still get something like that if you use MyDefrag. But should you? Like...I guess if you still manage to have a spinning drive, but isn't defragging somewhere from useless to actually bad for SSDs? Since they have a limited number of read/write cycles, and there isn't really a physical "location" for files to be next to each other in, you're just (albeit barely) reducing it's lifespan?

I was so bored at my 90's job I would defrag my floppies, and Windows 95 was dumb enough to do it. It was satisfying.

DrBouvenstein posted:But should you? Yeah. Don't defrag ssds. That said, spinning metal is still useful for archival or bulk storage. I have one as a steam/videos/adobe scratch disc because it's cheaper per gig and I don't have to worry about write cycles. EDIT: Also NTFS and ext3/4 are way smarter about storing files which, combined with larger disks, really means you shouldn't have to deal with defragging as a regular chore.

That's why Captain Marvel captures the 90s so well, not just having tons of 90s music and stuff, but it has stupid stuff like how it would take like a minute for anything to load on a computer. Everyone else is just relaxing and Carol, who is used to super fast alien computers is confused why everyone is just waiting like this is a normal thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzcqNN4nKA0

I always thought it was so weird that they made that movie the "90s nostalgia tour" when the central character has absolutely zero ties to that culture, but honestly it was the right call.

That's why I said "honestly it was the right call." All you did was say what I already implied out loud. Aphrodite posted:The decade choice wasn't for her, it was for their overall movie continuity. They could have gone as late as 2005 and it would have held. There's a version out there of Brie Larson in JNCOs on a skateboard.
