https://www.habbo.com/ I can't believe Habbo Hotel is still around. I remember being on there in the mid-2000s in high school with 4Chan trying to invade and spam every room with "GET OUT, THE POOL HAS AIDS!" and everyone dressed as black afro-wearing men in suits.

The secretary at my old school has a sheet she uses to scan barcodes for each and every kid that eats lunch (school of about 400) and it's hooked up to one of these bad boys. It was a clamshell iBook when I was in elementary, and the other day I picked up lunch from the cafeteria because I helped with a few classes when they were covering public speaking/improvised speeches, and she still has the motherfucker kicking around. She browses FB on the old, old-rear end web browser on it and scans in all the kids with the same system.

My abiding memory of that game (aside from it being pretty bad) is this bit where Shadow runs into a new level and growls "Where's that drat fourth chaos emerald?" but the subtitles read "Where's that drat FOURTH chaos emerald?" I reckon that's a really 2000s thing - the entire fixation on kids' stuff being DARK and GRITTY and SERIOUS and what have you. I mean, it absolutely existed before that, obviously, but I reckon the Internet blew it up. You know, as much Dragon Ball Z is basically a nineties thing, fan-translations of the manga and anime alike sticking loads of cursing in because it's MATURE and NOT 4 KIDS is pretty noughties.

The 2000s for me was Unreal Tournament, Megatokyo.com and Joecartoons. It's really hard in my mind though to separate the 90s from the 00s though for some reason, even though I was a teenager/adult for the latter.

Every kid on Deviant Art having a Sonic recolour seems pretty 2000s to me. Bonus points if it's created for a sprite comic. In five years' time, we'll be looking back at the most 2010s things, and it'll be every kid on Deviant Art having a pony recolour.

Anything anti-Bush. I think it was 2004-2007 that anti-Bush really took off. I remember the Dixie Chicks did a Thing and they got slammed. I didn't start using the Internet full-time until 2002.

Your Dunkle Sans posted:I think the 2010s will be defined by the full-on embrace of irony in every aspect of life because "lol nothing matters." I don't know, I feel like there is more of a rejection of irony and an acceptance of sincerity while still keeping irony's use in a figurative manner. Basically, things are liked both ironically and unironically at the same time, making the ideal of traditional irony meaningless. Yet, there is a sort of appreciation for "terrible" things that is much more sympathetic than it would have been in the 90s or aughts. Like take vaporwave. It's obviously taking old interstitial muzak and finding it ridiculous, but rather than outright rejecting or destroying it like a YouTube Poop, it builds off of it, satirizing and enjoying at the same time. I think how 4chan ironically liking My Little Pony and then wrapping back around to become bronies is another good example. Basically, I feel the 90s and aughts used irony in a way to signal how "smart" a viewer was for rejecting something, and the teens seem to use it to simultaneously recognize the lack of quality in something, while still asserting their approval of it. Basically, the 90s and aughts said "Isn't ironic that (other) people actually think something like this is good?", while now it's "Isn't it ironic that I like this, but it's so bad?" By revealing their own cognitive dissonance, they invite others to join in and enjoy, rather than to join in and exclude. It's ironic attachment rather than ironic detachment. I don't know, maybe I interact with too many weak-minded SJWs or something.

Remember when we were all going to evolve giant, hyperprehensile thumbs due to constant texting on 9 key phones? I remember that sort of thing reaching hysteria point maybe 2004 and then burbling on in media articles until the early 2010s when touchscreens started to really take off.

GWBBQ posted:I just tried to play it again. I loved room escape games back when they got big, and there's a striking difference between the nostalgia I have for them and the Kafkaesque bullshit of knowing exactly what I'm supposed to do and how much time I have to spend hunting for the exact pixel I'm supposed to click on. That and the fact that the legacy of this simple flash game is that I'm a 20 minute drive from not one, but two places where I can pay $20 to play a real-life room escape game. I work installing alarms and I installed one in a business was moving to their second location that did this. Is this a new kind of business? I have never heard anyone mention anything like this.

In my not-incredibly-major city, we've got currently at least 5 franchises, with another one opening soon. Sorry, opening two soon. I suspect a bubble will burst momentarily.
