Your life in '95

[dresoccer4]

I was 8 in 1995 so I can relate quite a bit to the themes and scenery in the game. I'm wondering, for you younger folks, what do you think of all the 90's paraphernalia and vibes?

It's just 90s fragments in a current day design. They have lost their ability to balance authenticity with supernatural / esoteric elements to a point that it's even tasteless at times.

interesting, can you give me some examples of what you mean? i'm still early on in the game but i thought her bedroom was an explosion of 90's paraphernalia. i'd say 3/4 of the stuff in there I had at one point

I honestly jumped up when I found the hoppies. I so forgot I played it back in the day.

its nothing like the 90's. Maybe if you were super rich and got the top of line 2000's clothes when they started to get pumped out. Saw the camera and knew the 1990's tag shouldn't have been there.

I was a total 90s kid, and reading through Nora's playlist of music had me go and dig out my old mix-tape cassettes. I've got a lot of the same songs that she did.

Other than that the clothes are pretty spot-on.

i was born towards the end of the 90s. I only recognized some things.

Swann, Corey and Kat are the most 90's looking characters by far in the game.
Kat and Corey even more so than Swann.

Most kids had a fanny pack but I personally barely wore the thing but always had random stuff in them.

Maybe there is something to be said about environments but I feel small town 90's is perceived differently than big city 90's. You just see more in the city's.
That park was spot on though. We use to spend hours there just hanging out.

Hopefully Tape 2 opens up the scope more and we get to see more familiar things.

this game looks nothing like the 90s

The game is pure cringe with millennials developer's delusional ideas of what 90s look like... except they are too stupid to even tell gen-z from every other generations.

People in the 90s dyed their hair to enhance highlights, unlike the 4 ♥♥♥♥♥♥ gen-z lesbo kids in the game who dyed their hair with stupid colors in weird proportions for statement purposes.

People also didn't wear that many accessories be it dorky or edgy like this horrible game presents.

And most important of all, people were decent enough to have actual conversations that require multiple sentences that convey purposes, instead of filling it up with one liners.

No I didn't, but then I was talking about the design style which there are tons of gameplay footage out there if you know how to look for them.

And you clearly took all criticism of the game personally... lol

Go off from this topic if you cannot stand it..

It drives me absolutely insane that Tomogachi wasn't released in the US until '96 yet Swann has one in '95, or even better a knockoff which really didn't start appearing en masse until '98. Anachronisms drive me nuts in period pieces. I also complained about Littlefinger's Rolex in GoT, mind.
I also grew up with access to a camcorder (still have it, still works, ♥♥♥♥ was built to last back then), and filmed a bunch of random stuff, never did in camera editing though, always used the VCR.
I also felt nostalgia for going off with my friends in the woods to do drugs and Truth or Dare (probably the first time I saw real tits) and such, but that was a little later in the early '00s when I was the character's age. If they were boys they would have found a porn mag or VHS in the woods, I think every one of my friends found one at some point.
I was also into weird horror films, but they don't really focus on that enough to give it much heft, it's just kind of an aside to the character. Oddly reminiscent of Max from LiS, but it was way more in focus in that game.

This game feels like Portlandia's side story.

You know you're types love to harp on "facts" and demand to site proof when ever debating a point with opposing opinions.

Conjecture is not facts. Looking at a few pictures and then running off to a conclusion is pure emotional judgement.

There are soo many of you who base personal experience as fact for everyone else.

Different regions of the US had many varying fashion trends. The fact this game takes place in the 90's does not change that fact. I can tell you for a fact back in 95 on the East Coast US, colors popped a lot.

If you played the game, you would know, every question, response or exchange of conversation was not One liners.

You can actually wait for characters to fully stop talking, interrupt or not respond at all.
This context is not given only from a picture.

Your statements are biased and politically charged and clearly clouding your objective judgment of a game you never played.

Nobody takes your narrow minded opinions serious at this point.

Yeah that's just incorrect. Kids had tons of weird knick knacks they wore in the 90s. The game is decent at portraying the 90s.
