I meant like society in 2010 has an intense fear of primary colors or something
it's not really society's fear of colors, you can see them all over the place. what you're referring to is the industry's direction of attempting to achieve this kind of gritty realism because that's what people consistently want to buy.

yeah I'm not really that concerned about it I'm just trying to sum up all cinematography of present-day movies in a single paragraph or something because I'm pretty sure it's possible

Edit: oh god Trash Head 2 is here he will sum it up in 5 words

Edit: says something nice seriously some of the stuff from GW is the most authentic stuff I've seen in ages even if it is painfully ironic sometimes I was looking at freeware game site on the other topic and only one or two games didn't feel like ridiculously obsessively idealistic versions of childhood games and one of those games was barkley

Edit: basically I have a strong hatred of games overly concerned with pleasing color harmonies/hyper-consistent game aesthetic/trying to look exactly like it came from 1993 in this hyperreal way like it's literally pointing out things that were always drawn funky in old games but never actually noticed on a conscious level

Edit: barkley was sort of this on paper but with barkley I never got the feel like chef boyardee spent hours of research looking exactly at how the dumpsters looked in 2300 A.D. in Chrono Trigger. Basically everybody make games with appealing graphics without having some dead Japanese videogame artist lead you by the hand every step of the way like a big dumb baby

Edit: Every Japanese videogame artist from the 90's is dead now

Edit: this is seriously exactly what I wanted to say though, every game I've seen on coolgamewebsite.com gives me this creepy vibe like the designers of each game have a massive windows folder of like 80,000 various game screenshots zooming in on exact details of how things were drawn and there are like 0.3 seconds during the entire development of the game where anyone operates on instinct alone. This is even for games which I don't think were meant to be specifically retro

lol was just wondering did anyone notice my track twycross from Strange Worlds album was done in real-time? Like just a couple of sequences of notes and I just hit record and changed effects etc. I don't have a midi controller because I am too stupid and poor I just used a mouse

I like this forum, I'm not going to leave it unless it gets shut down for whatever reason. I will continue to post relatively regularly but with the reduced number of members I crave a secondary forum to discuss games AND other nerdy stuff AND serious topics.

Just searching google doesn't really help. Its hard to really use a search engine to find exactly what I'm looking for...

Any suggestions?

Or the registration could get fixed and then everyone go head hunting for new members to refill this place.

Does it annoy anyone else when someone says 2010 as twentyten? it makes me do a frown every time and it shouldn't and apparently it's the standard now?

No, that's the way it should be. Or do you think we should always continue saying "two thousand"? It's only going to get more awkward in the future.
