I drew my profile pic and banner. The gameplay in the banner is from dragon quest 1 for game boy that I recorded myself.


TIL retro means something is imitating something /a style from the past so calling old games “retro” is kind of wrong and odd I guess.

Vintage also has a weird connotation that means something is high quality and I can’t say that’s the case for a lot of old games. There’s a lot of bad old games.

I guess “old” is the best way to refer to them if we ignore the elephant in the room which is that language is constantly changing/evolving.

i feel like some people say "retro" for old stuff and "retro style" for stuff designed to look like that but that's not super intuitive. one of those things where you have to define terms before you can really talk about it
