Why do these gifs always make me feel nostalgic?

After Dark screen savers

SomnambulisticTaco t1_j0xv8km wrote

After Dark was so legit.

They had had all the ads on modules too. Star Trek, Simpsons, MAD, etc

Flying Toasters is a legend, and remember Lunatic Fringe? That screensaver was a FULL GAME. You can actually find a decent port of it out there called Fringe Player.

Oh and on screensavers, not AD but remember Organic Art? Hypnotic gold.

I think it’s memories related to old games, but not quite sure.

It’s reminds me of the old Blade Runner game.

I actually scrolled past it then got an intense urge to revisit it as it sparked an emotion

Phoequinox t1_j0yk5i3 wrote

Happens with more than just art. I have distinct memories of things that never happened. Like being in a dark, Japanese hotel room on a rainy day. I've recalled that at least since I was 12 nearly 25 years ago. I'd never seen anything that would evoke such a memory. Maybe it was a dream I had, but I don't know why I would have been dreaming about Japanese hotels as a kid. Brains are weird.

Same. I get the same feeling from the work of /u/aleha_84. Has a very similar vibe.

jiggygoodshoe t1_j0yv7f7 wrote

Same here, reminds me of an easier time when I could just play any number of pixel based games with nothing else to think about.

Sounds like its the MBTA's Commuter Rail. It'll get there... eventually (if it doesn't catch fire in the snow first).

sydneydanger t1_j0xjo6a wrote

Your work is gorgeous as always but something about this one bothers me… the lighting from the trains headlight feels too smooth, doesn’t match the rest of the image. Still exceptionally well done though, makes me feel something.

27

Fuck_Microsoft_edge t1_j0xn8jy wrote

Was just thinking this. There's dithering elsewhere in the same image, which makes the light beam look out of place.

12

no_idea_bout_that t1_j0xxcy5 wrote

Train light should also have a lot of noise/movement from the snow blowing across the beam.

pimp-bangin t1_j0z31x9 wrote

That's part of the problem for sure, tho I think the bigger problem is it's too smooth for this pixel art style

webbtraverse21 t1_j0yt0ih wrote

Stab in the dark here, but can someone point me in the direction of beginning to create these pixel art gifs yourself. They've been popping up in my feed often enough the last week or two. They have an enchanting, nostalgic quality to them I dig, this one in particular. Also my young son is really into trains at the moment and is beginning to get into the very basics of computing. This looks like something we can learn together. Thanks in advance!!!

averyminya t1_j103yvg wrote

OP said they used Asperite and After Effects to create this, after effects is likely what makes the pixelated image move. I'm not sure what Asperite is, however I'm guessing it's used to make the pixel image.

johnsplace1234 t1_j0x54u7 wrote

It has an atmosphere about it for sure. There is a cold isolation inside a concrete metropolis of endless cruelty an suffering whilst the blinking light symbolizes life starting an ending within. All this to the track of some 36 chambers in background in the train 🚆

Whoknew1992 t1_j0yx4xe wrote

I keep saying. If someone could create games that use this art style we could see some awesome titles. Adventure games with huge worlds that animate everything at 60+ fps. Soundscapes that completely fill out the world around you. These pixelart posts show the clever and creative details that can be used to bring an idea to life. We don't need everything being swallowed up by 4k Raytracing requirements. I know there's more to it than this but it would be fun to see some fun/interesting/unique games made with this.

projektilski t1_j0zxbx2 wrote

I love it but one small critic from me. Snow falling from two different angles constantly. It does not feel natural. Snow is light and it can fall in different directions with slight wind movements but that looks more like dance in the wind, not so scripted. I hope you are not insulted by my comment as I really do like this.

Yeah it's ok, I intended it as one snow pattern on the bridge that you can see because of the lamps and snow that coming down from the bridge and is illuminated by the train
