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...

Their story may be embellished but the problem was legitimate at one point.

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.

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.

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.
