Yet, why these beaches are more memorable than real beach?

Why is Baja Blast the favorite Mountain Dew flavor of nerd culture?

>>712820163
looking at the wrong beaches

>>712820163
Because real life beaches that look like that are usually hyper expensive resorts after the advent of social media sharing every non-expensive beach that ONLY locals know

>>712820269
>>712820315
For me, money is not the problem.
I just have this autistic high expectation for beaches, somehow i just kept finding "flaws" and made me hate the experience.
The same happen to latest gen games, making the beaches realistic make me dislike them.

>>712820163
it depends on the beach

>>712820868
older stuff tends to look more clean since it's not that detailed so you get premium white sand, clear water and a deep blue sky
Going for a photorealistic beach means you're getting a realistic beach like>>712820885
with discolored sand, murkier water and little shit details everywhere

>>712820163
Because low poly environments are objectively the best type of graphics in video games. They get the major point across, but leave just enough for your imagination to still fill in the dots.

>>712821141
That pic is also a short as fuck beach. There are places that get that deep stretch of white sand but they're usually tiny ass islands in the pacific/indian ocean

>>712821245
I really wanna lay down at that pool

>>712818454 (OP)
Go outside then

>>712822467
I fucking hate this haze that is in every game now, just because the air quality is shit irl doesn't mean it has to be too in vidya

>>712822168
is this worth the price or should I wait for a sale?

>>712829682
>>712829596
I wish that the Saudi's put even 1/10th of that useless marketing budget into increasing the actual budget of City of the Wolves.
I feel like Fatal Fury is much more fitting for an open-world singleplayer mode than Street Fight is, as South Town is so well-defined and has so many varied locations people would want to explore and battle in.

>>712818454 (OP)
I miss the gaming era where everyone was trying to one up eachother with water. So much beach and underwater kino was made back then.

>>712834715
That's also always been my idealised version of heaven.

>>712834134
I'm worried that if an FFX sequel or remake were to be made nowadays, this is what it would look like.
I truly do not understand why It's so hard to get a good, clean vibrant look in modern games.

>>712833924

Right, like they can't even make proper blue skies anymore

>>712818454 (OP)
I want to learn how to draw nice skies like in these images, but its basically impossible to find any tutorials.

>>712835571
Why don't you just practice. Just buy some stuff for coloring or just do it on software. I mean you have nothing to lose, right?

>>712835795
I guess, but it'd be nice to have a guide. I'm just surprised there are none, I guess everybody just uses irl photos for skies.

Mid 00's games had the best beaches and its not even close.

>>712822705
what do they eat

>>712836334

>>712836425
you can't only eat fish. also how are they protected from pirates just killing them and claiming their little island? there's no military or guards.

>>712836958
>you can't only eat fish
Sure you can. Many people do.

>>712836958

the evil pirates are stationary and the only mobile pirates around are nice blokes

>>712836279
Early 2000's was the best era for gaming, the internet, and computer software.

>>712820181

>>712836958

I don't own a tiny island to live on and I can't afford one plus the costs to deck it out

I would if I could

>>712834715
>I feel like Fatal Fury is much more fitting for an open-world singleplayer mode than Street Fight is, as South Town is so well-defined and has so many varied locations people would want to explore and battle in
That's because SNK Characters have, well, more character. While it was nice to have the SF Cast do something besides fighting, you would definitely be more likely to drink beer with Terry than say, Ryu.

>>712837256
good presidente

>>712837457
I wanna jump into that
Imagine how fucking refreshing that would feel on a hot day

>>712837432
you don't need to own it. there's no military or roadway taxes to pay for. what's anybody going to do? you can just chill on it

>>712837457
I mean, Ryu's entire schtick is that he's extremely boring. Ken is more like Terry.

>>712837609
I assuming if there's an island it's owned by someone, most likely a country
If it's a country then there is a high chance that it has a navy which in turn would be able to remove me from the island

>>712838050
i don't think militarys are spending their time searching tiny islands like the size of >>712822705
>>712822705
in the middle of the ocean. that's like not even a speck on a google map. also it's not like you'd go to jail or something. they'd just kick you off at worst.

>>712837334
whats this

>>712838368
>also it's not like you'd go to jail or something. they'd just kick you off at worst.
But I wouldn't be on the island anymore, that's the problem
Now as I said, if I had a small island that was wholly mine and the cash to build it up, I would move in a heartbeat

>>712837457
Someone tell the Saudis to put some of that damn money into actual high budget modern SNK games ffs.

unbeatable

>>712838549
you can probably buy a tiny island like that for like no money. living on an island with no food or fresh water source isn't exactly a valuable thing.

What's the Code Red flavor of vidya levels?

I look forward to the day games go back to looking like this.

The island my family goes on vacation to every year for my whole life reminds me so much of Isle Delfino. The deep blue skies, the vibrant water, the maritime theming, and even a small amusement park! It's very family-friendly, clean, and safe too. The best part is that we don't have to take a plane, it's just a 3 hour drive! I bring Super Mario Sunshine with me every time and play it with my big brother, it feels so good to play on the island!

I think the ideal living situation would be about an hour or two from a nice beach. Not so close that you are at risk of dying to hurricanes all the time, but still close enough that you can make a day trip if you feel like it.

Stop fucking calling it that. That term didn't exist before 2021. That term was made up by gay zoomgroids who weren't even alive back then.

I wouldn't call it anything at all. Can't we just let something simply be, without autistically categorizing it? It's a style with a certain je ne sais quoi, and you cheapen its organic authenticity by forcibly giving it a name 20 years after the fact.

Furthermore, you also open it up to corporate exploitation. Take for example the picture here >>712821273. To you and me this communicates a specific style, je ne sais quoi, period of time. But an out of touch corpo marketing nigger sees a picture like that and has no idea what to make of it on its own. But then, if you start captioning that picture and others like it with "FrUtIgEr AeRo", then suddenly the corpo marketing nigger has a starting point from which to exploit and pander and corrupt. I don't want that.

i think a tinted fresnel would help keep that bright blue on the water.

It was a tiny robot (I think) exploring underwater ruins

>>712843946
>silent cartographer
It's one of the best Halo levels for a reason.

While it's clearly not a beach, I feel like the color palette makes it worth posting this. When viewing from outside the cockpit, it does look like summer imagery.

Been meaning to re-play this game but I've been to lazy to hook up the Wii.

This is why Japan was superior in every aspect and why you are still feel nostalgic for that one JRPG adventure. Too bad Japan has lost it's course.

>>712889573
Nintendo was extremely fucking proud of their fancy new water tech. Waver Racer there was a launch title, I think, just to show off what they could do.

No, you idiot. People are giving it a name to categorize it and help with communication, like they do with literally anything else. Instead of going "hey remember that style? The one that was popular late 90s early 00s? No not that one, the other one", they can just fucking name it.

>>712832834
>>712832529

>>712889750
It's still hard to comprehend and accept how much Japan has lost its soul in just the last decade. A shell of its former self.

Tragic.

>>712890063
I'd rather have some minor difficulty communicating than enable corpo niggers to corrupt old things I like.
And even if I concede that these things should have names (I don't), I refuse on principle to allow zoomers and gen alphas from the Aesthetics Wiki (who weren't even alive back then) to dictate to me what to call them. That's where "frutiger aero" came from. Just some arbitrary gay ass name decided on by an autistic tranny zoomoid wiki editor. I refuse.
>Instead of going "hey remember that style? The one that was popular late 90s early 00s? No not that one, the other one"
Not necessary. Just show them a picture that encapsulates the style.

i appreciate your general point but it doesn't take much to google and see that it was named before the Aesthetics Wiki was ever created

>>712893452
Granted, touche. I didn't think of that, probably because I have only been to the beach in summer.
Still, whenever someone blows their brains out, they're always sitting in a computer chair, or in the car in their garage, not on the beach.

>O'Connor took his own life on 10 March 1902 by shooting himself at the water's edge after riding his horse to Robb Jetty, south of Fremantle.
They made a sick statue of a drowning horse to commemorate this dude

>>712894134
I suspect foul play.

>>712894236
>It is claimed that local Noongar Aboriginal people, unhappy with his destruction of the limestone bar across the Swan River at Point Walter, placed a curse on O'Connor. and that "... they sang him to make him crazy", and his suicide was the result.
You're onto something...

>>712833815
fuck yeah

damn, that looks comfy

it makes me sad to see zoomers ruin another aesthetic/vibe they never lived through, but it's also kinda comfy to know i got to live through all the shit they wish they had in their nostalgia baited tiktok brains.

>>712891851
Oh well fuck Perth.

>>712895758
The "Frutiger Aero" aesthetic was still popular up til the mid 2010s so I'm sure there's plenty of younger people who caught the tail end of it.

>>712896664
No fuck YOU, Novocastrian! What even is that, some sort of vegetarian diet?

Love echo. The last game was hard as fuck to beat

>tfw you think you enjoy something but someone made a wojak version of it

Roll on September, got me a week away just to lounge on the beach and swim in the sea after years of fuckin nothing else. pic related, video game.

Simulator games are slop

>>712892226
Sega really put their whole soul into those games and it shows. As far as I'm concerned sonic died after SA2.

>>712889175

Thanks

I would kinda suggest Critter Cove but it aint as blue and clear.

But it's very neat!

>>712904438
I see this game get shilled a lot, what do you actually do?

>>712904732
Basically Animal Crossing New Horizons mixed with post apocalyptic water world. Build up an island vacation spot, deep dive/go to islands to get resources to build things, craft things people want, give people jobs, make money.

Game just updated with the feature to now furnish other resident's interiors. Still very WIP, mildly grindy and very furfaggy.

aaiiiiiieee

I have these pictures for god knows how many years. I always said I will look it up someday. IIRC they are from /tg/ and setting is called CATastrophe.

These are the links I've saved with pics.

guys will say this and say "hell yeah"

>zoomers have turned 00s summer threads into general "nice water" threads
We can't have nice things anymore, it was good while it lasted

>>712818454 (OP)
The artstyle is only one part of Sonic Adventure's aesthetic, it's the music that truly completes it and gives the game it's indomitable, pure S O U L
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SBKj5ofGVw&list=PLvNp0Boas722L8qX0VsBhaI8s0a9k4Umr&index=10

Do zoomoids even go to the beach? Whenever I go diving I never see young couples anymore. It's all just boomers

>>712907959
It's actually "nice sky" have you even read the thread?

>>712907959
It’s hard to know nice things and what’s good when you’ve never had them. Don’t be angry with them anon, they don’t know any better.

>>712908416
I don't think so. Most don't believe you when you say kids used to just play in the neighborhood until dark without your parents having any clue what was going on.
Gen alpha will be even more shut in.

>>712908549
People posting fucking Halo or Far Cry 3 are definitely doing it because they think having water qualifies those games for a 00s summer thread

>>712908795
The only guy doing that >>712891031 is being ironic, as you can tell by the vs.

>>712819038
Everyone was so optimistic back then!
>THE FUTURE IS NOW! FULL OF POSIBILITIES!
Now we just have trannies and niggers dominating culture with their degeneracy. The internet was a MISTAKE

Don't forget the fucking ANTI SOUL GAS they put everywhere these days.

Is this from that new mario kart? Why is it so desaturated?

Should I play Tropico 1 or 2?

I won't drive 700km to stay in an overpriced hotel just so I could get a really expensive sunburn + food poisoning combo

>>712837226
I like driving too much to live in an island, I need the open road

I like modern amenities, which would need to be imported from somewhere, by somebody, for money. I don't just want to be a naked guy living off the grid fishing all day.
These tiny islands in games are appealing because you don't have to worry about all of the real life logistics.

goddamnit

>>712917919
Is it just me or were the ads in the early 00s and late 90s just more summery/bright?

>>712818454 (OP)
The last two summery feeling games I've played were Dave the Diver and maybe half of Stardew Valley. Some Gmod maps can be pretty summery too, but enjoy half the textures being black and purple because you don't own Counterstrike 2.

>>712918349
Stardew with a beach farm is pretty summer comfy

Most of the game isn't tropical but the general color scheme and style of FFXI is all that games need to look like for me to be happy

>>712820193
Chrono Cross was peak comfy (in part thanks to its godly OST). FUCK anti-Cross peasants.

>>712909271
It's both funny and sad how optimistic people used to be back then, they really thought that everything was gonna be okay

>>712921868
These days it feels as quaint as absurd as the idyllic 50s idea of life

>>712922039
This actually happened. Cookie dough.

>>712922126
Yeah, the 00s optimism also happened and I lived through it, and thinking back to it from today's absolute mindbroken state of the world it feels absurd
