sad, remember the 90s
maybe the reason i have such a strong emotional response to 90s aesthetic, despite being too young to actually remember it, is because i want to recapture some of the bright optimism of that period instead of the mounting discontent of the 00s or the desperate, angry hopelessness of today
sad, remember the 90s
there are definitely things i like about 90s tech more than today's tech in some ways, but it's hard to parse if i would have felt the same way at the time or if it's just retrocomputing enthusiasm
culturally i missed a lot of pioneering work in tech and games and music (but also that's how the dotcom bubble happened so maybe that's a good thing too)
i dunno
re: sad, remember the 90s
@typhlosion I think you're right, 90s tech was a lot more willing to experiment, and built better than later stuff (though 80s has 90s beat on build quality, but 90s is still better than 00s or 10s)
