>>900 I like rice rice is nice

>post last week >don't come back til today >no activity since

Did I visit the wrong board or something? Wasn't there another /retro/ with more activity that had a Windows 95 CSS theme

I did visit the wrong board lmao my bad https://trashchan.xyz/retro/catalog.html

>>1108 Trashchan is unbearably slow, don't know what the fuck their problem is but their site is unusably laggy and crashy, no other tiny chan has this problem.

>>1105 Didn't know anyone gave a shit. I still do anon.

>>1045 yeah that shit is fucking gay there must be a browser extension im guessing that would allow you to do so.

>>1045 There is a way to find strictly older videos on YouTube by using a custom search query. Simply type in whatever you want to search and add "before:" to your search query. Include the colon. After the colon would be the year you want. For example, if I want to search "capirinha before:2008", it would fetch me videos about that old meme that were published before the year 2008. I hope this helps you.

>>848 Was it a trap all along, though?

>>848 I remember when I used sites like break.com and a dozen flash animations like bunny grenade, joecartoon, and of course stickdeath, but as soon as youtube dropped break.com wasn't simply embedding video files I could simply right-click save-as anymore, but adopted youtube's weird pseudo-shockwave proxy thing I still can't understand what the hell's going on and how it works. Which I've hated youtube for doing all that time ago.

>>1099 > but adopted youtube's weird pseudo-shockwave proxy thing I still can't understand what the hell's going on and how it works. Which I've hated youtube for doing all that time ago. There has been a longstanding cat-and-mouse war between jewtube and downloaders such as yt-dl (nee yt-dlp). They constantly break the old interface, intentionally so.

ANON.CAFE IS KILL WE MOVED TO TRASHCHAN https://trashchan.xyz/retro/ https://trashchan.xyz/retro/ https://trashchan.xyz/retro/

>>1086 Miss old anon.cafe, this new place just doesn't have the same atmosphere.

>>1092 Yeah, AFAICT it's still a mystery why those guys closed. All they could say was to effect "we're not being forced to (ie, it wasn't b/c of glowniggers in their country).

>>1092 Its a shame it died anon, I miss it as well.

>>952 the 80s was basically the last era of innovation in the synth world. (PPG, D-50, DX7, EMUII, Juno). In the 90s and early 2000s you could pick up these keyboards/racks for dirt cheap compared to the boring array of Korg M1 clones and crappy virtual analogues. now the music (gear) industry has become reactionary to that era by shilling expensive analogue crap only to inflate the false dichotomy. "digital = cold, stale, thin, harsh, repetitive numbers in a computer" "analogue = mystical, warm, phat, fat, lush, authentic". Watching Dave Smith sell out with the Prophet 5 makes me cringe as he was always forward looking. To be fair, synth sounds have been so solidified in people's minds that people buy synths to make those sounds, not new ones, just as if they were buying a guitar / piano. Modern game / film composers all use the same 5 sounds. Imagine the opening to a new film, you can already hear the "felt piano" sample playing some pretentiously sparse lydian (meandering / uncertain) motif, followed by some ambiguous string drones, while the camera pans around some empty landscape to be met by the narration. Innovators like brian eno, michael cretu, depeche mode didn't give a fuck about technical details and just wanted to create. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rk_sAHh9s08

>>952 makes me think of the faulconer score for DBZ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgJ1heSrskY&list=PL836DDC1A20726279

>>954 The faulconer score will always sound better on the GBA to me honestly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtbACzBwshc

>>953 >the 80s was basically the last era of innovation in the synth world. (PPG, D-50, DX7, EMUII, Juno). I agree. Even the digital Roland stuff from the '90s that I like was basically just following on from what they were already doing in the '80s with the D-50's LA synthesis. >In the 90s and early 2000s you could pick up these keyboards/racks for dirt cheap compared to the boring array of Korg M1 clones and crappy virtual analogues. Even digital rack synths are starting to go up in price now. >"analogue = mystical, warm, phat, fat, lush, authentic". It seems that when people say that they're missing the fact that there are limp-sounding vintage analogs out there. I own one and plan on getting rid of it. >Watching Dave Smith sell out with the Prophet 5 makes me cringe as he was always forward looking. The Prophet reboot honestly seems to be exactly what I've been hoping for in a synthesizer for years. The previous DSI/Sequential polysynths had way more features, but the Prophet 5 seems to nail the sound of the old Prophets in a way that the Prophet 08 and Rev2 didn't. That's not to say that they aren't capable of making good sounds, but I've always wanted something that sounded like an authentic, high-quality vintage analog polysynth right from the start. I want something idiotproof that I can just turn on and get convincing bread-and-butter patches from instantly instead of having to mess with a bunch of parameters trying to age or beef up basic sounds. It's expensive, but if I end up liking it it might be the only analog polysynth I'll ever want. A Jupiter 8 remake would be the only one that would really interest me, but I'm not sure if I'd feel like I'd need one. >Innovators like brian eno, michael cretu, depeche mode didn't give a fuck about technical details and just wanted to create. Being a gearslut really kills creativity. Being autistic over instruments can be an asset in terms of attention to detail, but it's highly detrimental in terms of actually getting things made.

L.D. 50 is a good mixture of heavy guitars, prog rhythms and experimental inclinations. Slipknot is childish in comparison.

>>943 It's absolutely necessary that people learn from experience, but at the same time I'm tired of people hiding behind seven layers of irony and acting like they're too cool for everything. Even I find myself doing that.

>>280 >That's weird. I just assumed the "scary logo" thing started with autistic Millennials. I swear I've seen a documentary out there about a couple of boomers who grew up scared of the Screen Gems logo, but because of how random and obscure such autism was they didn't have a real forum to discuss it until the 90s. Very interesting seeing logofaggotry was a thing since the 1960s at least!

>>319 >Remember when Cartoon Network tried to monetize flash games? Are you talking about Powerplay? I remember there was also a Nickelodeon version back then, as well as a LEGO spin on it, oddly enough.

>>994 >>995 I think the board has pulled up stakes and moved to Anoncafe, Anon.

>>996 Not him, but I only came back here because I saw some activity. Hopefully the anon.cafe board catches on.
