Gears of War is a retro game by that logic as it did come out 20 years ago. Feels weird to say that. |

honestly surprised there aren't corporate employee bootlickers in the comments complaining about "job loss" and other nonsense. |

I will never forget going to the store in the mall and having Neverwinter nights in one hand, Morrowind in the other and the clerk waking up to ten year old me and saying "wow, great taste." offhandedly. I bought Morrowind that day and had never been so completely lost in a game. I ran around getting killed by everything for weeks!
I never played Morrowind but I did love Neverwinter Nights + expansions + community mods (Penultima) to bits. |

That's retro meme, must be near 20 years old also. |

In many cases (not all) older music is better, too. |

Were games even around 20 years ago? That seems like too much time not to be fake
Let me boot up this copy of SpaceWar! from 1962.... Yep, it is real. Also, the oldest STEAM account is now >20 years old. |

Mario Party DS lol. Actually, basically the entire DS and PSP library is approaching that age.
I really gotta get a good PSP. It's such a perfect mobile console for emulating. |

No, sweetie. Nothing existed until you were born. Then the world erupted in delights the like of which we had never seen. |

20 years old because you finished all the NES, Super NES, and MegaDrive games already?
I'm still ploughing away at the 2600. I'll get that ET fucker out of that hole if it kills me. |

When is the last time you had that level of fun with a more recent game?
Most recent would be Elden Ring and its DLC but before that, it’s been a long time. Probably 360/PS3 era. |

Feels weird to call it retro but I’ve been having a blast with Morrowind lately. 24 years old, so fits with the meme.
Retro is something new made to look old. Vintage is something actually old. |

Hate to break it to you, but 20 years ago was 2006. Almost 2007, not 1954 |

I pretty much only hear music from around 2004 -2014 played in public. I really couldn’t tell you most new music. I certainly remember 80s music being played in high school but it didn’t totally dominate like 2000s music still does |

I pretty much only play grey Gameboy Tetris these days. I keep wondering why they kept making games after this masterpiece. |

That's survivorship bias. No one plays the old music that sucked because it sucked, the current songs that suck haven't died yet to leave only the ones people liked. |

Quake 1 is still rocking servers and multiplayer games are still being had, 30 years later. It's still a great multiplayer gaming experience. back when games were made properly; with the sacrificial sweat of a demon's nutsack. |

Old timey music was also a lot less complex than classical music. Which means your old bands also suck by your own logic. |

That doesn't solve the problem. What am I to play in 40+ years then?
Baldurs Gate 3 and the handful other modern games that don't suck. And don't forget all the indies. |

If and when SkyWind comes out, you should definitely try it. They put so much love in it, it will be the closest thing we experienced back then trying fresh Morrowind for the first time. |

Rimworld gave me the same level of obsession. And it's very new one, came out of early access in 2018, practically yesterday. |

That's what I usually end up doing, and it's almost certainly what I'll do again. I'm fooling myself thinking that I'm going to make a different decision, lol |

The PS3 was shown at E3 a few months before I was born and I am old enough to drink in the United States |

That means last time I played RDR2 was THAT many year ago!? Hell, I remember half of it like it was last year, and extremely memorable trip ahead of you. But I'm not jaelous, I also got some gems ahead of me - Baldurs Gate 3, Silksong, Crimson Desert, Dragons Dogma 2. I'm good! |

All depends on whether I can play Skywind on Linux, but thank you for the tip :) |
