well nothing ever fucking left, it's called object permanence. Stoners have put posters of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of The Moon" and pretentious assholes* have listened to Bach since they existed. "Retro waves" are when these things become more significant than their usual levels of cultural impact and human ritual.

*I include myself in this group, Bach kicks ass.

My clothes from back then still fit

#SubtleBrag

and are intact

#FormerNaturist?

baroque for life my brother, it never really left, now it lives on every progrock band and 80s videogame composer

It's actually good. Do it.

Jumanji was released 7 years ago. Both times!

the dream of the 90s is alive in portland

Wow jeeze. Time really is cyclical. Let's go forward until dinosaurs are back.

I can't do this all on my own...

I said I was the cops

Well, they didn't fit for many years and then I lost a bunch of weight and could wear them again, so they just mostly survived a closet..

Except we invaded Iraq with years of preparation and a decade-long no-fly zone to chip away at them. We are going into this one with a pants around our ankles.

And the new KOTH episodes fucking slap.

Are Metallica gonna release a godawful album with shit production quality?

If we're doing 2000s nostalgia, I guess hip hugger bell bottoms and translucent plastic is gonna be trendy?

This just further confirms that the world simulation actually did break from the y2k bug. We fixed the bug in here, but no one fixed the simulation. The cascade failure has just been spreading out of control since then. Now we have recursion errors! The sim tried to restart but it's all corrupt lol.

It's decent. Not having Ted and Janitor means we won't get all those incredible throwaway scenes and downbeats which really elevate the original run from good to great.

Sabrina Carpenter tho

That's all fine. Just as long as parachute pants don't come back.

Well I guess this is growing up

Yo. It's legit the best thing released in the past year.

I think the root problem lies in some of the really gnarly, pre-1.0 code that we are afraid to touch because it might break something, that's why it keeps cropping up even though we keep slapping patches pell-mell on top of it. It just happened to pop out pretty bad in 03.

And Buffy is in talks.

It's gonna be another Iraq/Afghanistan because it's meant to be. Oil, military industrial complex, oil, conservatives know and are ok with an oil invasion. I live in KY. Trump can do no wrong in the moron belt.

Here’s the trailer!

I think in some respects, the 'decade' culture breaks had a run from 1910 to early 90s, and less so now.

Before radio and television, culture just didn't change fast and far enough to really get that sort of clear delineation going.

Then with radio and television, cultural content spread instantly, but broadcast nature had relatively small number of people curating the media everyone got. So folks had a very common frame of reference. Broadly speaking each decade had pretty clear cultural features, but at any time the previous and current decades felt credibly 'modern'.

In the late 2000s, while the 90s were still 'current', streaming basically started to break the 'everyone gets the same stuff' experience of broadcast media. So meme's would crop up and provide some of it, but nowadays the bulk of online experience varies much more person to person minimizing that common frame of reference. So for example, Weird Al has stated that it's much harder to identify good songs to do than back in the broadcast era, since things are more splintered now.

Or maybe it's something about no one accepting the genx and millenials getting 'old'. In the 80s, the 60s were the 'oldies', and the closest we've come since then is to dare to call the 70s 'classic'.

I'd say the retro styled games tend to actually target the 90s, which was the peak of pixel art capability before people started doing the 3D stuff. They don't usually target 90s 3D (because it sucked) though you do have examples like DUSK replicating that Quake I ascetic. Undertale could credibly be considered 80s looking, but most of the retro games would at least need Genesis or SNES to credibly look like they do.

80s was all about strong colors and synthetic music, but by the 90s culture had largely gotten over it and sure, you can recognize 90s hair at a glance still, but day to day clothes and music are, stylistically, persisting, at least insofar as specific styles are persisting among the mix of many many things.

No they are going to sue someone.

We are working on this. See global warming

...Are they involved in that big IP lawsuit against the ai companies?

You know what time it is...

I gotta buy some Apple stocks

Do you know why Mozart killed all his chickens?

Because they all went “BACH BACH, BACH BACH!”

Thank you, I’ll be here all week!

Iraq and Afghanistan were planned wars with lots of preparation and competent leadership. This is going to be something else entirely.

Are Metallica gonna release a godawful album with shit production quality?

did they ever stop?

we are likely to hit a new carboniferous period.

It's going to suck for us, but rule for plants... and musically.

I was on the verge of discovering Linkin Park and having my life change forever.

Not having Ted is an upgrade

Napster BAD

Hell yeah, another distortion and harsh sax enjoyer

As usual, policy and procedures without properly defined controls burn us.
Honestly, why did we even go through that whole re-org after the WW2 outage if we're not actually going to adhere to our own policies?

Birds: yay wings saving us once again

wait, this is the log Dwight wrote that keeps spamming "military industrial complex"?

Thanks for reminding me I sold AAPL . . . in 2006.

First time as tragedy, second time as farce

they didn't fit for many years and then I lost a bunch of weight

I'm in the same boat!

I now regret throwing out my size L or XL Simpsons t-shirts from the 90s as I'm likely to be able to fit them again some time this year or next after having ballooned all the way up to 7XL or 8XL at my most humongous lol

It's related. All over the codebase different devs have put in catches for it, but often as not instead of handling it they just wrap it in a new warning, dump it to the log, and move on. Dwight wanted to decouple those modules, correctly, but he didn't know how because the reason they're coupled in the first place is because we didn't handle this problem correctly in the initial design, so he slapped a warning on it and called it good enough. Every once in a while some hotshot dev comes in with a proposal that exploits it (and introduces tons of technical debt that we don't see because we don't measure it) and because it looks good for the shareholders the PR gets approved and merged. If they're lucky then they get promoted out of development, or occasionally fired, but in either case the problem in the code gets exacerbated and never really fixed.
