That ad campaign started in 99, its really more of a 2000’s thing.
The 90s were from 1995 to 2005. That’s just my opinion. I know it sounds dumb. Many things from 1990 to 1994 feel like the 80’s.
That’s the Y2K “lost decade” speaking to you; 1990-1996 was the early 90s, Y2K from 1997 to 2003, and the McBling 00s from 2004 to 2008. I have reason to believe cultural decades started as decades, yet were upended by 1945-65 being The 50s but 1965-69 being the 60s and never been quite on schedule since.
Since the 60s were barely 5 years, there was - apparently - a subtle difference between the early and late 70s, a noticeable difference between the early and late 1980s, and a pronounced difference between 1990, 1994 and 1999. By 2004 a fashion lasted 5 years at best, and 2008 has hardly been a similar year to 2013 or 2019 or 2023.
Ya, but it proves I lived through the 90’s 😆
Outside of America, this is interpreted as a reference to Scary Movie instead of the budweiser ad.
As a European, that’s indeed how I interpreted this.
Here in the Netherlands I never heard of it!

There was only one volume on my modem, deafening
You all realize there was an initialization command to mute the built in speaker on the modem, right?

I loved the video it has about nuclear fission reactions.
I remember this from the school library computers. That and even back then the school had some kind of broadband, it blew my mind that to get online all we had to do was open IE. I was used to that part but always had whatever dial up service we had at the time to open up and connect first. Just clicking IE and going was crazy to me.

Y2K.
I survived idiocy of managers asking for Y2K compliant padlocks. As in, physical padlocks.
Hope you charged them double.
“We gotta get the Locksmith to come out and replace the microchips. Yeah, it’s going to be expensive but worth it”
Please tell us they did this… 😂
I mean, I wasn’t in charge of getting them, but learning about it was painful enough. I was young, and faith in humanity hadn’t been burned out of me yet.

Ad Riven. I read all the novels, too!
Riven remake is underway!
Sweet, I guess I’m going to have to get a PC at some point. I actually played Riven for iPadOS recently and it was still fun, but the point and click is pretty tedious.
I’m not sure a remake willl ever match the magic of when I originally played in 1998, though. My laptop was so junky I played most of the game under a blanket because the screen was so dark, haha.
Im pretty sure I missed a lot in the first playthrough due to a dark screen haha
But agreed that it will be hard to recreate that magic - Riven really was ahead of its time and is still my favorite of the series
DUDE. It took me ages (get it!!?) to spot the switch to get in to the elevator on the forest island from the ground level. Thought you had to go the long way around every time.
This. Wait for the remake, the original plays like shit on modern Windows versions.
It plays perfectly fine, it uses ScummVM. You’re just spoiled with first person controls and a free roaming environment.
No, I played the original Riven on Windows 2000. This looks much worse. For example the embedded videos aren’t aligned properly and they clearly have different color correction so they pop out from the rest of the static images. And, I could be wrong but it just seems much more pixelated or lower color fidelity. I realize having a better quality monitor and higher resolution might explain some of that, but regardless of the technical explanation the user experience becomes worse than playing on contemporary equipment. They should have used a better upscaling algorithm. There were other issues too that I can’t recall at this moment. Just the fact that you get the geek-oriented ScummVM interface in your face when you buy a game is kind of jarring.
The bundle of myst games was on humble bundle a week or two ago. I’ve been waiting for the right time to immerse myself in myst VR and be just as confounded as I was as a kid. Then I get to see if Riven is still completely impossible for me.
