      No, since modern games built upon and improved retro gameplay

      gamepaly and QoL definitely no, but maybe it can compensate with better story, art style and ost which, if shit, can totally ruin a game with great gameplay

      Absolutely not.

      Not for most genres, no. But there are some genres that never really improved (fighting games), or took one step forward and two steps back (platformers).

      Somewhere in th early 3D game consoles. There has not been as big of a change as 2D to 3D that you can honestly say anything newer than that is "retro".

      The same place it's always been - 2D > 3D. 3D is modern because modern is a style, not a set thing.

        That whole book is gold. The story about him deciding to kill himself for getting in trouble in his college film class by walking into the ocean, only to roll around in 2 ft waves for a few minutes before changing his mind and running back to his mother who was further up the beach is gold.

              The actual story from the book is funnier so I dont know why someone shooped it:

              James rode the short bus which had a tard wrangler bus.monitor. The day before, he got a ride home from a friend but did not inform the monitor beforehand. When he got picked up for school by the bus the next day, he was scolded by the monitor. The monitor did indeed say "No one tells us anything! We are the bottom of the totem pole... The balls on the dick!" James said no adult had ever spoke to him that way and he lost his shit. When they got to school, he started punching and kicking the front door to the school before collapsing on the ground weeping uncontrollably. He was like 16 at the time.

    It partially depends on what we're counting as retro, but if we only take the tippy top I would venture to guess they'd come out pretty even
