!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

The things that make me feel old in this pic: A) People think TV in the 70s was black and white. B) Someone jokingly dated this show to the 70s. C) Get off my lawn

When I posted this, the thought occurred to me that some people might not know who Elvira was too.

I'm sure they've seen one of her 3 pinball machines at the electro carnival arcade

TV in the 70s was in color.

Horrible, unforgivable color.

The world was black and white until the 30s. Color was a still lil grainy in places in the 70s.

I will say, the colors chosen for the set do make it look a bit like a colorised photo now. Though it's hard to say how much of that is the original color on set and how much was lost to the camera back then. It was tough to light/balance stuff well back then. Especially if they changed cameras, or if the set was made with a different camera in mind either way.

Behind the scenes footage always looks different back then from what aired. Not just from lack a of post-processing, like it would now, but also a lack of pre-processing, lol.
