Yeah, it's not like anyone watches films or listens to music from the 1980's any more.

monoguerillo.bsky.social•186 days ago

Why stop at the 1950s? If you like something slightly old then off to the fucking Stone Age with you!

This is easily one of the stupidest opinions that's ever been posted on this account.

Wow, aren't you fun?!!

Or, hear me out, you could just shut the fuck up and enjoy the fact some of these games are still popular. Gatekeeping is so dumb, welcome new fans, don’t challenge them.

mrsashboroscat.bsky.social•186 days ago

But...why?

marktech.bsky.social•186 days ago

Oh, @robmanuelyeah.bsky.social ,you are spoiling us

rotatingwobblyhat.bsky.social•186 days ago

I play and own retro gear from then. But I was there, man. You weren’t there. Plenty of hopscotch and outside shitters in the 70s and mono TVs and old record players. You’re talking shit mate.

jontafkasi.bsky.social•186 days ago

Maybe we like playing the games we played in our youth.

foxacheuk.bsky.social•186 days ago

Wait, I thought it was "Kids today don't realise how fucking lucky they are", not "Fiftysomethings don't realise how fucking lucky they are".

And some whingers should be made to stand in buckets of stale piss to remind them how intensely awful they really are.

davewholovesbeer.bsky.social•186 days ago

There are buckets?

lilsausagefactory.bsky.social•186 days ago

Only for the truly lucky ones. Real whingers piss on their own feet in a hollow in the ground.

adarkadaptedheart.bsky.social•186 days ago

Why?

flumcake.bsky.social•186 days ago

What’s wrong with hopscotch?

ere-i-am-jh.bsky.social•186 days ago

Same with music. If you like Tears for Fears you should be forced to listen to Rosemary Clooney because of, well, reasons 🤷‍♀️

Reminds me of this amazing show.

What if we're playing '80s and '90s games on the consoles we had as kids and have just kept them because now we have the money to buy more than one or two games?

oceanicbeach.bsky.social•186 days ago

What on earth is the correlation here? Surely playing retro games informs current generations of how lucky they are and how much technology has progressed within the last 40 years? You don’t need to go back another 30 to realise that. This isn’t Back to the Future.
