Does anyone really care about screensavers these days? I'm a boring person who usually just sets the screensaver to display a super-thrilling black screen after 10 minutes or so of inactivity.

Pipes all the way, man! Well, if I had those, I'd use 'em. I switch between two from time to time - Nite Shadow's Skies of Dark World screensaver and the standard Windows Vista logo one.

What's a screensaver?

In all seriousness though, I think they're completely unnecessary; in all situations where one could show up I always set my computer to either just shut down the monitor or sleep mode or whatever.

I mean I guess they were kinda silly things that were fun to create back in the day (and people liked them) but there's really no need for them; if I want to watch something cool I'll watch a movie or whatever lol

Weren't they made to prevent burn-in? Hence, "screensaver?"

But of course turning off the monitor would be a better idea.

I used to have a bunch of screensavers based on mario title screens... Mario Bros, SMB, SMB3, SSB64, etc.

They were neat. Also, the BSOD screensaver was neat.

Screensavers were originally designed to help prevent burn-in, but this problem doesn't really exist on modern-day monitors. But it's still not a bad excuse for putting a Mario title screen on your computer...

Screensavers: I kind of like them.
