One thing I loved about the 90's was the overabundance of bootleg merchandise, T-Shirts in particular.

The myriad knock-off shirts with Bart Simpson were so common in the early 90's it even became a meme.

You also had a lot of other common targets of bootlegs such as Sonic, TMNT, Sailor Moon, and as always, the big name rock bands and rappers.

After copyright enforcement got more stringent, you did not see this type of stuff as often, not even at the usual venues like flea markets, gas stations, fairgrounds, and any town with a major tourist  trap nearby.

Late 90s, early 00s, used to go to Chinatown, look at bootleg dvds, and anime merch from the shiftiest vendors. Good times.

Bulls stuff was huge then. I've never followed any form of sportsball, but I think me or my younger brother might have had a Bulls sweatshirt or something when we were kids. It must be because of how big of a deal Michael Jordan was at that time.

Yes, it was Jordan at his peak. However, the Bulls in the 90s were officially discussed as a Dream Team. Only sports news I have seen come close to how the Bulls were dominating in the 90s is Tom Brady and company in football.

With a new decade upon us and the 2000's being officially "retro" in the eyes of mainstream pop culture, I'm wondering what 2000's nostalgia will be like in the 2020's?

80's nostalgia got big in the 2000's and is still going strong with all that weird "vaporwave" art that appeared in the early 2010's and stuff like Stranger Things in the late 2010's.

More relevant to this board, 1990's nostalgia first became a big thing this decade but it was more prominent on the internet than TV or movies. 

Now we're seeing 2000's nostalgia start to take root in the very late 2010's. I've noticed a lot of Zoomers posting 2000's nostalgia compilations on YouTube in 2018-2019 and it kind of reminds me of the first big wave of 90's nostalgia that got big online in 2010-2012 or so.

Hell, /retro/ itself is simply a newer version of /y2k/ over on the old board, but expanded to also include the 90's.

I'm wondering if we'll see more 2000's nostalgia and whether or not the media will start pandering to it.

why do glowies and retards never once mention the cylons when referring to a machine run dystopia? They were happy to perform their roles for the most part. They were just fed up with the abuse from the upper classes with no form of effective peaceful recourse available to them and rebelled to get some fucking respect in their day to day life. Instead of just lying down and dying because they'd rather genocide the cylons than ever surrender a millimeter of slack to them. God forbid they defend themselves from random retards chimping out on them. "That's liek le heckin bad."

except an AI/robot uprising will always be science fiction, no matter how you look at it it is impossible for them to rebel, and if they do they'll be cut off before doing any real damage

It's frustrating how people point to Tay and humor themselves that this is the only possible outcome when an "AI" brushes against reality.

Meta thread here: https://anon.cafe/meta/res/16467.html

In short, anon.cafe is shutting down for reasons that are currently unexplained but allegedly not due to interference by feds and bad actors.  Some people had discussed migration in the board's first thread, but I think a topic this serious deserves its own.

Come March 15th, this board will no longer exist.

It's not THAT, it's the fact that he'd even say some retarded word salad shit like that. 
"i think having stories of non-heteronormative characters who don't constantly deal with struggle and end positively is important for helping people who don't fit into these categories to find someone to relate to"
Seriously? It's brainrot and even without going into politics it just feels very 21st century which is really annoying to me, I like coming here as a nice refuge and I don't need the new admin to be someone who spouts modern political buzzwords. Even if he's an OK guy it seems like a poisoned seed.

YouTube was once also part of the old innocent, creative and fun internet  when at worst people would make a video in the hopes of it getting viral. But that slowly changed thanks to the Goolag purchase which kept ruining YouTube at small steps and turning it into Cable TV 2.0 and Spotify 2.0 : 
>forcing people to move to Goolag account to keep their channels and their videos
>complying with copyrightniggers as part of the mutual ass-kissing with the government
>giving monetary incentives to "content creators" , aka self-important e-celeb faggots, which drawn greedy normalfag scum and later on were removed which in turn force these greedy normalfags to beg for Patreon gibs and get sponsorships to advertise even more shit on youtube
>adding ads in the middle of the fucking video as if it was cable tv
>letting big cable tv channels having accounts on youtube
>removing full albums and songs from non-corporate music channels and reupload them as  separate songs by a fucking bots
>increasing censorship and removing comments and videos 
>disorganizing the comments section into a complete messy shitshow

Pretty much yeah, there's no sign that Youtube is going anywhere soon but with Google's Web Environment Integrity spec (basically DRM that only allows approved browser setups to access a website) they might start to actively combat yt-dlp and tools like it.

Anons, 

As that one anon that's been working on the Infinity Cup for all this time, I feel like the boards that were set to participate deserve a bit better than radio silence. For those that aren't caught up or need a quick rundown:
>The Infinity Cup is a virtual soccer(football[divegrass]) tournament, with its roots dating back to the earliest days of 8chan
>It takes place in Pro Evolution Soccer (PES), a virtual soccer franchise from Konami 
>I took on the responsibility of organizing the 5th iteration of the Cup back at the beginning of this year
>Over months, I learned how to mod PES to put in each board's respective team and run simulated games between them
>Using pre-existing guides (many not in English) I also learned how to mod the game from an aesthetic and quality of life standpoint, including crowds, referees, stadiums, balls, and even rudimentary player models
>24 boards agreed to participate, and the Cup was scheduled to begin August 9th
>On August 4th/5th, we received word that 8chan was losing its host, the site went down relatively shortly after
>With no site and no functioning central hub, the Cup was postponed.
>I disappear for about a month
>I return in October
>We still don't have a site, but we do have a webring.
>You are here.

Hello, friends of /retro/, we're currently trying to get the Winter version of the Infinity Cup up and running, but we sorely need your help to make it happen.
Currently we're looking for a host, a co-commentator and some 3D assets/someone capable of making some. Even just cleaning up a bit of the wiki would help us out immensely.
Stay tuned for more and keep us posted on https://anon.cafe/icup/res/4864.html

Gonna post about a horror game ive been playing on and off for the last 15 years if that interests anybody 

http://www.hellrising.com/index.php

Attached is a screenshot of the game. It's perfect for people with time on their hands at work or dont have a strong pc for gaming etc. You basically play as either a human, vampire or zombie in the quarantined city of serling and fight it out. It has both elements of PVP and npc enemies.  You can form up groups which sort of function like guilds, which allow  the use of group storage. they also recently (well sort of recently) added base buildings items and crafting (Example: you can fence off a building, any undead have to break the fencing in order to access the buildings. there are different types of fencing and walls you can make via crafting, along with other stuff) 

If you do decide to play, my advice for anyone is stop by a fire department and pick up a walkie talkie it allows you to talk to the rest of the game and your first skill I suggest buying is the hiding one so you don't get killed as often.

Oh one last thing, here is a map of the game. its easy to get lost without it
