You are a bad person.

Why must you be so hurtful.

I launched Arkham Asylum on steam earlier this week and it recommended a 9800GTX lmao.

1GB ram, 2GB if you were running Vista.

We’re gonna have to rethink definitions at some point. Yes, video games are still a comparatively new medium, but nobody would call a 2010 film a retro film, nevermind books or paintings.

I define “retro” as anything made before an average Army Private was born, so about 19-20 years. By this standard, games released in the early 80’s were retro when the current generation of Privates was born, so how do we call that ? I propose the term “paleogaming” for those.

By that definition, 9/11 is retro.
