   Currently working with a bunch of people under 25 and one of them described “vintage music” as “stuff from about 2005” to me the other day.

     @craiggrannell @ianbetteridge I don't want to traumatise anyone, but my working professional definition of "retro" gaming platforms is anything more than 15 years old.

     @ianbetteridge Someone recently suggested retrogaming meant the PS3. And then I had to have a little sit down.

     @craiggrannell @ianbetteridge further: Fallout 3 came out almost 16 years ago

     @HauntedOwlbear @ianbetteridge You’re… not helping.

     @craiggrannell @ianbetteridge tempus fugit. (And I'm annoyingly smug about it because I didn't expect to live this long at one point.)

     In gaming, there's a further time dilation effect because a lot of 15 year old games don't feel significantly less sophisticated than their modern counterparts.
