  • its kinda funny because it looks dated even with the graphics overhaul in mcc but the gameplay is still solid, and there are older games that still look as good as release day but the mechanics are kinda rough. And some that always were and always will be perfect.

    I feel like at this point retro is more of a style though. Graphics can only get so realistic and anything made to peak modern visual standards will be harder to differentiate from previous decades as time goes on, if we don’t all die from pollution and war and other shit. Oh fuck, maybe retro will become anything that features a non-destroyed climate/environment in a world where children will be born having never seen what earth once was.

















  • I’m not a native speaker and quite out of practice but I would lean towards the first translation being more correct. The second doesn’t seem wrong but would be spoken with different pacing for me to interpret it like that and not be confused. I’ve actually had someone ask about me that way (iirc, 8+ years ago), but it was a group discussion and it was used to ask a question that had already been asked of another person, and then continue to ask questions without further specifying me as the subject by name. Native speakers leave out the subject way too much and its confusing as fuck and it may have been said that way intentionally for those of us who were not.
