The fact that even 3D games are old now blows my mind on a regular basis. (lemmy.world)

I suppose this is what getting older feels like.

I feel like I'm the only one here who actually likes it when games I loved when I was younger become old/retro. I see it as a badge of honour, like them getting to enter the hall of fame.

Super Mario World isn't a bad game just because it's old, it's just as great now as it was in the 90s. Same with Sunshine. And it makes me happy knowing I grew up with these games - no amount of aging or growing old could take that away from me.

I agree. Xbox 360 now being considered a retro console now is amazing to me too.

I like it.

I just don't like it when people much younger than me do it because I played their "childhood favourites" when I was already working for a living.
