Other than technology near everything went to shit. Games, music, movies, shows... but the best thing is that it has never been easier to experience old stuff. You can play old games with better faithful graphics, source ports without dealing with drivers etc... Watching whatever movies and shows on your TV at any time you want and listening any music you want. Point is that you CAN simulate soul.

Okay but that's way too wannabe CRT. It didn't look like that. I'm glad we have retro PC emulation regardless.

It's a VM that emulates old hardware thus you can install Windows 95-98 on it and even play OpenGL and Glide games. I kinda dream about buying a mid PC just for this purpose.
>Inb4 it's pointless
Considering how you can hack modern Windows and theme Linux into Win95-98....yes....but still.

People are scared of learning new things even while it's 80% the same (with the right DE) and they had to learn Windows too. Also because Windows isn't THAT shit yet. With LTSC and hacks you can make it into Win7 which was the best. Also anti cheats.

Duckstation dev should have just cancelled Wayland support. But also some Arch users are stupid for using AUR when appimage exist of the speicfic app.

I haven't played any games released in 2025.

Can someone give me a rundown of the Stop Killing games thing. I have completely avoided it.
Yes, I live under a rock.

I play both retro and modern games.

>do you know they spend more time on the cash shop
Considering it's the only thing that fucking works when some of these games launch, YES. YES I DO.

I interact with a lot of random normals in my day to day so I just try to avoid the topic of video games all together because I don't want to hear about fifa or cod. Same with anime and most things really.

I mean my gaming moment peaked with CSS and TF2 back on WinXP with online friends but I don't specifically have a favorite time period. In modern times we can always go back and it's easier now than back then.
>Windows
XP peaked by soul but 7 peaked by accessibility. Both had classic theme so vaporwave is right there. Windows since 8 sucks ass so I went to Linux.
