We peaked with screensaver technology with the one with all those pipes
You joke but way back in the day those 3D pipes caused a little IT chaos…
Gonna call bs on that one
Their story may be embellished but the problem was legitimate at one point.
After dark flying toasters.
impossible for anyone not alive at the time to understand just how cool the afterdark flying toaster ss was.
I found a few of these old screensavers and another one which lets you have a random selection between like 10 of them. It all still works on Windows 11
Starfield, 3d pipes and flying toasters are amongst the selection, I couldn’t seem to get Jonny castaway working unfortunately

Puhleeze.
Homer Simpsons eating my screen was the peak of screen savers.
Though, I guess it wasn’t much of a ‘saver’ if it was being eaten…
I submit for consideration the Monty Python screensavers which were actually playable games.

Hey, my Matrix code screensaver ca. 2002 was the shit. Granted, I probably got three different viruses downloading it for three hours over our landline.
I wonder how much time I clocked watching that
Windows NT 3.51 gang represent!
It is sad this screensaver has not carried over to the latest versions of Windows. Maybe a 4k remaster is needed.
Wolfenstein at home must be the 3D Maze screensaver
Wolfenstein 3D is older than that.
Yes, it is… So?
As an out-of-the-loop 90s-enthusiast, this is exactly what I think of when all these kids on my lawn keep going on about Starfield.
They should at least have the decency to name it Starfield 2
I miss screensavers.
God I wish there was a modern day version of that one of the shipwrecked guy on the island, that was all animated and full of story elements.
I spent many hours while home sick just lying down and watching Johnny Castaway. I’ve had his hum stuck in my head… forever.
Best money I’ve ever spent on steam is for wallpaper engine. Check it out.
I just looked at wallpaper engine and…uh… yeah, thats an awful lot of semi-naked cartoon women.
Soooo… I think I’ll pass.
Don’t worry, there is naked cartoon women too.
Microsoft is also bundling Starfield the game just as they did the screensaver. Included in Game Pass and you can play the PC version on GeForce Now.
I just found that funny.
I’d rather play Flying Toasters personally.
I lol’d a little too hard at this one.
I prefer Rocks.
Hell yes
When is Bethesda gonna release Mystery
Normalize the death of screen savers. How much c02 is generated displaying nonsense instead of simply putting the monitor and/or computer to sleep after X minutes
Hasn’t this already happened? I don’t see screensaver very often anymore.
