We'll never have anything like the DVD screensaver ever again

The dvd screensaver was just another screensaver at the time. There used to be cool things. Like install windows 95 or 98 and there’s default screensavers that were basically just programmers showing off - the pipes constantly growing into each other, a starfield, a generative maze that you just wander through, etc. then there was a whole thing for people to make screensavers (Uniqlo made one of the coolest ones).

Now computers are stupid and monitors just turn off

Remember “After Dark”?

Or Johnny Castaway.
