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 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.

Let me boot up this copy of SpaceWar! from 1962.... Yep, it is real.

Also, the oldest STEAM account is now >20 years old.

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.

I'm still ploughing away at the 2600. I'll get that ET fucker out of that hole if it kills me.

Tetris on a serial terminal is enough for me

Most recent would be Elden Ring and its DLC but before that, it’s been a long time. Probably 360/PS3 era.

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.

Who needs TikTok brainrot when you can just play dm_crossfire.

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.

I'm sure you are lying! Bro 30!years ago it was 190something /J

PS4 will start being retro any moment now… my back hurts.

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.

Wrong.

Behold a 4000 years old game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Game_of_Ur

I have enough MC mods to try out :3

I just bought Red Dead Redemption 2 last night and it was the only one they had in stock. It's already an 8 year old game, but it's new to me!

14days for wow forever

I still need to decide on a class.

Survival hunter, be brave

I thought about hunter, then I remembered having to manage ammo...

That's the thing, you're in melee !

Oh right! I did see people theorycrafting a no-pet, melee hunter build. That does sound fun...

It's called a warrior 😂

Complex doesn't equal good (although I'm just reading the link and not opening it maybe it has another point)

You aged, grandpa

Old timey music was also a lot less complex than classical music.

Which means your old bands also suck by your own logic.

Baldurs Gate 3 and the handful other modern games that don't suck.

And don't forget all the indies.

Druid, ultimate class for undecided. Every role is just one respec away.

Great taste indeed

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.
Alternatively, just try Morrowind right now, it's a great game.

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

Trillion indi bangers.

You don't know my bands, fuck you.

Super Mario Brothers was released closer to WWII than to today.

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!

Druids are just the fucking best!

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

It's basically an elaborate Skyrim mod, so yes

You mean the gif of the movie that came out 18 years ago?
