Bloodstained is retro? I say, as I start to fade into dust.

Eh ok but boktai and drilldozer? Who knows or cares about those any more, much less the era they were being developed in.

Definitely Boktai and Drilldozer are pretty retro by this point; the DS has that retro charm to it (even if that makes me feel old, too, having been in college.). I just struggle to think of Bloodstained's 5 years old as retro. Even the PS5 would almost be retro. heh

It mainly covers older games. Apologies for the misleading screenshot

You're all good! I'm mostly being silly and feeling old. You're wonderful as ever.

I'm 44. And anyway the site covers games from the 80s and 90s, really. I'm not calling things from the 2000s retro
