I just got started working in a retro arcade.
It has a PS4 in it. 💀
That’s overkill.
When someone says retro game console I think of NES. Maybe SNES. Now that you mention it I can see N64. But no way Gamecube seems retro let alone Wii. They were on discs! Lol
Been coming to terms that I became old lately lol. Weird how it sneaks up on you. You are young, get busy a couple years pass and ok you are a young adult. Then time seems to speed up and before you know it you are exhausted and old living in what was recently the way off future.
Then I think there are people more than twice my age, even some 3 times. How in the world are people still functioning at all at that age? How are people president of the United States in their 80’s? I just rolled over 3 days ago and hurt my shoulder.
Anything that plays games on discs, including PlayStation, feels recent to me.
The are people living today who can remember the first video games.
If the idea of paintings was first invented two decades ago, you wouldn’t call any of it “retro”.
My grandparents remembered playing Pong.
I really ought to try Spacewar! sometime. Literally older than Jeopardy.
If it has 3D hardware it ain’t retro.
Its been 19 years between now and the release of the Xbox 360, while it was 9 years between the releases of the Xbox 360 and Nintendo 64.
I hate math
Why would you say something like that? It’s like you are wanting to hurt us.
I just find it fascinating how spans of time can feel so different
No retro means Atari, NES, Super Famicom, Genesis.
Of all the PlayStation consoles to come up with, why the PSX?
Not criticizing, just curious
It’s literally the first one?
Interestingly, it’s technically not. While the PS1 was sometimes called the PSX in development, that name didn’t make it to the production model. There was, however, a PlayStation system that saw production under the PSX name, which was a combination PS2 and DVR. That’s probably the one @JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world is thinking of.
Ah, yeah for some reason I always called the older boxy gray version the PSX, and the slimmer white one the PS1.
The mini one was officially the PS One as the full name of the system. The official abbreviation for the original grey model was the PS or PS1, depending on whether or not Sony had started developing the PS2. Then they just started adding Slim to distinguish the small models and Xbox proudly took up the duty of naming consoles things that are confusing and don’t make any sense.
lol. It’s Frieren!
Even more lol, in this thread no mention of the elf represented in the pic.
Shit, when I hear retro i think Atari
