My nanna still had her old rotary phone up until I was out of highschool and I used to work in a records department that had a super extensive collection of microfiche. I also once threw a pager at a kid but I didn't know what it was at the time, his mum was a doctor.

My kids love to play old Atari games from time to time. I'm glad that there's a cool emulation, called STeem. But it isn't the REAL thing. Deosn't feel and smell the same - if you all know what I mean... old tube monitors (monochrome if possible!), dirty keyboards, crappy joysticks and LONG loading time of DD floppy disks - and you had to insert eleventyone disks or more for "large" games like Monkey Island™. Those were the late 80's! :cool:

Sort of related.
I miss traditional special effects. Any current sci fi movie will be chock full of CGI awesomeness, but I miss the artistry of the models and creativity involved with making it look good. Movies like 2001 a space odyssey, the original Star Wars Trilogy, Blade Runner, Alien and Aliens, Terminator 1&2 etc...

I don't watch tv. I have no cell phone. I have a macbook and a desktop, though I could get away with just the macbook if I got an external line-in and more space. I use cassettes, and have had my albums released on cassette labels before, with more in the future. Kool-aid is too sweet for my teeth. I don't like these kinds of threads.

Yeah, I agree. It's still being used though. I know Nolan use a lot of practical effects. Much more than you would think watching his movies, guy is insane. :lol: And the new Star Wars-movies will apparently use practical effects wherever possible, which makes me hope they don't suck.

That's a reason why I really like Christopher Nolan's movies.

This thread :bear:
My fam is old school and has been known to hang onto relics, antiques and heirlooms.
Their sentimental attitudes have imprinted on me, although I've rebelled and chased trends...that may have been anything but current. How original :lol:
As a result I kind of grew up a retro futuristic hipster well before it was a thing. :cool:

I just dig the way magnetic tape colors audio and video. &The ritual, nostalgia and novelty of playing old media on period-correct equipment in context.
Hung onto nearly all of my old video game consoles going back to NES and a few CRT tvs and monitors with various resolutions.
At no point have I excluded tape decks from my home and vehicle audio setups (since driving) and I presently still make cassettes and vhs tapes...especially of b-movies, horror, and obscure early animation and experimentation.
Still prefer nonlinear Akai and E-Mu 12bit samplers over all challengers. S950 timestretch :love:
Tube gear and cutting edge technology from the golden age of Hi-Fi and the sounds of early American RNR, the British Invasion, 70s garage and psych, 80s _cores and _waves, 90s gazes, hiphops, jungles and concretes, 2000s idms. It's all stuck in my head and putting it in my ears is pure joy.
I enjoy learning about things from before my time and experiencing them as if they're new but also with the benefit of peripheral hindsight.
