What the fuck happened?

Jews.

Give us examples don't just say shit

For me, it was the 90s mercury sable headlights. Only now have chink electrics trying to emulate it, and doing it very poorly.

Retard

>>106005373
I also really liked those tablets with full keyboards from evangelion. I guess I was a 90s kid.

>>106005588
Better pic. Huh, I remembered them being vertical instead for some reason.

Insults don't make me wrong, anon

I like how stuff were thicker, now that computers can be thinner we should use the extra space to fit more stuff

>>106005616
Yes. Unironically picrel.

Yandex OCR gave me:
>僕らの思い出の娘たち
>80年代美少女合同誌
And translation of:
>The Daughters of our memories
>80s Beautiful Girl joint magazine

None of which I could find info on.

it's city hunter and it's not a man

>>106005195 (OP)
its all fiction you fucking moron, not documentaries.

>>106005373
OK.

>>106005195 (OP)
the aim of a movie is to look cool, the aim of the real world is to get stuff done.
in a movie, you make your computer interface do all kinds of neat stuff because its purpose is to interest the viewer. in real life, you make it look boring because all they're trying to do is find out something like "how do fish breathe water?"

>>106006421
As far as I understand it's "Our imaginary girls - 80's beautiful girl collab".

>>106007798
I used to run that theme on my old galaxy note 2

In the 80s there was more room to dream about what digital tech could be so we chased those dreams. Today we have the hindsight that tech is just a miniscule computer chip and a rectangular screen. Maybe some rainbow lights and a rounded glossy bipedal robot that walks like it pooped its pants.

Oh and quadcopters with cameras that sometimes blow up. Can't forget that banger.

>>106007944
This is the problem itself. Everything is about muh productivy, muh metrics showing that rectangle buildings with flat faces are easier for pajeets to build. We no longer have Palladian architecture with those costly sculptures perched above it for no other reason than "it looks niice".

>>106007944
>the aim of the real world is to get stuff done.
That thinking is what killed Ericsson and then Nokia. People want bling. They want to be seen. They want to hammer down the "importance" of green vs blue text bubbles. Work? Hardly.

>>106008033
Do you have the name of that theme?

>>106007798
Why can't things be this soul anymore?

>>106012717
Part stagnation and part people wanting to be the next Steve Jobs. In reality, we need more Steve Wozniak.

i miss neon

>>106005714
This is what you should fucking get for the price they charge. Actual fucking features for once.

>>106015778
I miss the early 10s when phone came with ir blasters, temp sensors, heatbeat and spo2 monitors
things were supposed to only get better but they just got worse to the point that headphone jacks and sd cards are an extreme luxury now

what, you don't think moden stuff looks really, really cool?

>>106016078
>pic unrelated

>>106016107
isn't modern shit COOL?

>>106016131
>CGA Pallete 1
>circa 1981
When modern shit goes retro, you can't really say that the coolness factor comes from how modern it is.

>>106016131
Modern stuff only looks cool when it continues the retro trends trends

>>106005195 (OP)
democrats.

>>106005195 (OP)
Western societies have been succesfully deconstructed by the social engineers - economically, socially and anthropologically. Tech has improved, but everything else has devolved.
Nowadays I need to go to Asia to have that feeling of being immersed in a sane, fucntionnal society I had in the 80s.

>>106005195 (OP)
people's interest shifted from cool adventurous hardware (flying cars) to more addictive forms of software

very sad to see, obviously.

>>106009882
oh come on, if you gave me a billion dollars i could robot waifus with mechanical meat which would be a bunch of small metallic pieces made to move like skin/flesh similarly to how a rig deforms a 3d model, the limit of modern tech is creativity but that's lacking nowadays.

>>106018723
the strong point over the rest of ai waifus would obviously be the bouncing chest and jiggly ass btw

>>106018657
So Asia is 50 years away from cultural collapse, maybe less considering the acceleration we had?

>>106021349
Depends on where in Asia. Japan is crawling out of 30 years of stagflation as the EU is plunging into it. China is a pressure cooker. China invading Taiwan will probably set off WWIII with North Korea invading SOuth Korea and Russia invading Poland. That will be the end of EU.
India is not going anywhere, and the Arab part of Asia is in a slo mo collapse already.

>>106023053
Bro, Russia has been trying for years to take a handful of Ukraine alone. They're not invading anyone else.

>>106023103
With a meltdown in the Far East they can go nuclear in Europe.

>>106023155
No, they can't because they get nuked back.

I agree
Cyber City OEDO 808, Episode 3, for example, has a space elevator to a geosynchronous cold storage mausoleum for the turbo rich, guarded by mechanical laser panthers

>>106023170
Only UK and FR have nukes in Europe. And have you seen what passes as "leaders" there? Both have fallen. They will just keep on debating as their capitals are glassed over.

jews shipped all the manufacturing jobs out of the country to try to save a shekel and it bit them in the tookus.

>>106016234
Everyone just goes back and seeks inspiration from the tail end of the western golden age.
I know you might have just been sarcastic, but it really does speak volumes when all the new stuff that is at least intended to be 'cool' is all retro inspired.
And stuff that's not is just flatshit.
It's kinda funny really.

>>106021349
NTA, but not necessarily since they respect and value their core cultures more than the west did or does.
Economic, war, and it's impacts etc is separate. They could be fucked in those regards and not necessarily lose their cultures.
Not that their cultures are perfect or anything. They do have some good qualities though.
