Topic	So at what point did you realize that PS2/GC-era games are retro now?
Yesmar_ 10/13/21 3:22:16 PM #58:	I agree with the sentiment that "retro" and similar terms can oftentimes refer to a particular style or group of titles rather than simply "____ years ago." For example,Turner Classic Movies has been on the air for almost 30 years, and in all that time I can bet you the median age of the movies shown has barely shifted forward at all, and certainly not by 30 years. There is a certain corpus of titles that are considered "classic film" or "classic Hollywood," (Everything pre-1967, and selected titles from 1967-1980) and that hasn't really changed much. Film does have a particularly locked in canon though, to be fair. --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest! Yesmar <cite>Yesmar_ posted [p:958997423] in So at what...
