Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition also got released recently. Great game for a decent price.
This is your friendly reminder that GTA V originally released 12 years ago.
Skyrim was 14 years ago.
Close for me.
Super Mario Bros (NES) to Mario 64: 11 years.
It was pretty wild growing up while Moore’s Law was full steam ahead.
I can think of 3 different PCs I built and overclocked during college. Now, my everyday use computer is 8 years old and it’s still pretty dang good.
10 years used to be several massive generational leaps in technology. Now it’s slightly better graphics.
4 reelz, I got a HP SFF with a Core i5 for 25$ at the Value Village and it has Windows 10… it runs fine.
I got a couple Dell Optiplex minis for $5, just dropped Bazzite on one to use as a HTPC/retro console emulator. Debating on what to use the other for, possibly a Home Assistant setup? Idk, but for that cheap I wasn’t gonna pass 'em up!
FIVE dollars? Bestow up me your wisdom thrift-related!
I wish I had some great wisdom to share… Corporate upgrades. They were selling off all the “Useless” computers that were easier to replace than upgrade. i5’s w/ 4gb of DDR3 & a 500 gig drive aren’t going to run too much modern (windows) software; but DDR3 is cheap to upgrade, and $5 for a system I can get going for an hour’s worth of time is a no brainer.
skyrim is 15 years ago
That can’t be right Skyrim is the most recent mainline Elder Scrolls game and they release one every 5-ish years
Well yeah. Since Skyrim there was also Skyrim and Skyrim.
And Oblivion as a treat
GTA V is
well overalmost 15 years agono, it’s from 2013 - so just 13 years ago
I can’t math
It was 20 years ago, not 15.
The Xbox 360 is now as old as the NES was when the 360 released. While there’s no actual definition of retro I feel the general idea is around 20 years old, meaning the 360 generation and all first year games are now retro.The game in the screenshot came out in November of 2010 so people were playing it 15 years ago.
Nope, “retro” is staying as 16-bit & earlier; just like “classic rock” is pre 80’s…
I die a little Everytime I hear 90’s grunge on the classic rock station.
Then where the 90’s grunge belongs to?
The top hits stations.
The 90s are to today as the 60s were to the 90s.
Hey, fuck you, too, buddy.
It would be still plenty fun to play PS1 games on a CRT as a poor kid in 2011, I suppose.
Ummmm wow rude
Next year 20 Year old graphics mean Crysis.
But i will still think of 2D sidescrollers.
You can take my DS from my cold dead fingers.
