Like, yes, bellbottoms are obviously retro, but there are styles from the same era that would pass as completely ordinary in the modern day and thus would not be called retro. this answer articulates a lot about how i feel, so thanks! --- yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness |

| SeabassDebeste 10/13/21 9:43:31 AM #35 | CasanovaZelos posted... I hear 'retro' as a descriptor specifically for 2D-era gaming too much to really think of anything beyond that era as retro. Like, to me, the word has taken on a specific connation in gaming - and I have never actually encountered it outside of gaming. Who refers to a movie as retro? I have never seen that before this topic. i'm not sure about movies, but people definitely refer to clothing trends and music as retro. saying retro gaming is like 2D gaming is like saying that retro clothing refers to bellbottoms coming back into style in the 90s. i mean not that i know anything about fashion itself, but i do know how this terminology is supposed to be used --- yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness |

| SeabassDebeste 10/08/21 8:23:13 PM #27 | Seanchan posted... In light of this, I went back to Crack the Skye again, as these are both metal albums and I wanted to try to understand why I bounced off Mastadon's album. While I might have been a little harsh on Crack the Skye, it wasn't even a question that Powerslave is much more to my taste. Powerslave is simply a more "approachable" album; it's got better lyrical hooks and more "fun" guitar melodies. Crack the Skye, in comparison, is a "heavier" album and feels more slow and plodding. yeah can confirm that powerslave is enjoyable to me while crack the skye very distinctly is not --- yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness |
