    It is on a timeline, but not tech.

    If you compare 1985 to 2005, holy shit. So many classics because of mind blowing advances.

    2005 - 2025… Well, there’s still 2005 games that go hard with some mods. We really rely on gameplay and story to make a classic now.

      Yeah, once we hit 20 years since the 360’s launch, we had 20 year old games that still look pretty decent by today’s standards. I don’t think you could say that at any point in time before then.

      This comment from yesterday stuck with me - I really like this definition of retro being on the tech progress timeline, not just “x years since”.
