I propose that what the letter X was to the late 90s, the letter i was to the 2000s. Everybody tried to copy Apple (badly) on the i-naming scheme. BMW named their infotainment iDrive, etc.

Firewire was a name trademarked by Apple, Sony called the same technology i.Link

Modern screens have a hard time getting dithered translucency hacks working right (i.e. Sonic waterfalls).

And old programmers/artists definitely used the limitations in mind when crafting games. See how sprite graphics sometimes fudge things because the CRt display would would up making a better viewing experience than an infinitely sharp pixel accurate display, or how cruft was added to make text appear sharper or more legible on an old screen (FF6's credits text during Celes' magitek armor walk).

Terra's magitek armor walk. I'm playing it these days on my SNES Classic and my LED TV. Never gave it much thought but next time I start from the beginning I'll watch for that. I just turn on the 'scanlines' effect and call it good, which is what I did with my laptop and ZSnes.

But Tommy T. Who the gently caress was Tommy T? This was a #1 hit song, but I defy anyone to remember hearing this song in 1991.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcEaUJoo0NE

Oh gently caress, I remember this song - because of the rink where I'd go ice skating as a teen, rink full of kids and teens and the music was this song, Cutting Crew, Richard Marx, Chicago, Amy Grant, all sorts of soft rock/AC.

Every once in a while I do a reverse image search on that photo, to see if I can find any background info. Of course nothing turns up, but earlier tonight I saw a comment where someone pointed out that the drawer has been installed backwards, or else the protective strip has been torn off. Also since there's no PC, who knows what the speakers are plugged into.

something that was pretty common at the time, a lot of the women in dance videos were not the ones singing the songs. One of the women from the Weather Girls sung on a ton of dance hits in the 90s but was always replaced in the videos with someone young and thin.

Let's not forget the same treatment of the singer for Black Box.

At my last job, I worked in a pretty tiny cubicle so I got one of these because I figured it was better for working in such a small space. That was five years ago, I work from home now but I still use it. Apart from color, the only real difference between mine and this one is that there are forward and back buttons near the ball.

I currently use this one at home:

The Big Lebowski was released in 1998 and set in 1991. Could the Dude's outfit be considered 90s or was he wearing retro?



Basically wondering if I could wear this to a 90s theme night.
