I can assure you, a millennial or older wrote this list to rile up his fellows :D

Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

It's only slop if it's bad. Otherwise it's core. In this case, Grampcore.
Sorry but "slop" has been reserved for AI-relater insults only and I will not accept any dilution of that.
My favorite definition was when it was used to describe cheap, mass produced clothes like your work clothes from around the 16th to 19th century, sailors would dress in their slop, etc.

Where is GoldenEye?
If someone said this to me. I would be violent instantly.
lmao this takes me back to the olden days of bait when you could just call something shit and people would argue.
This contextless superficial review of classics denies the groundbreaking gameplay, art styles, storytelling, and direction that these games contributed to the artistic medium that is video games.
Like saying that The Godfather sucks becuase it is derivative and stuck in the time that it was created.
Alright I'm done yelling at clouds.
-Slop?
The distance between a new term’s invention, its ironic use, to it then being abused is getting shorter and shorter.
It's fine. 40 is the new 30, 30 is the new 20, and this kind of youthful confusion about time and aging is exactly what I'd expect from a 10 year old, so it tracks.
As soon as people started calling staples of the FPS genre "boomer shooters," I knew it was over.

Thanks for the game recommendations. Can't wait to try them out!
Go for the eyes Boo, go for the eyes!
If these games were cars you could register them as classics in California. If you played any of them on release, you should probably stand up and stretch after you read this comment

Besmerch my Fallout! How dare you! Good DAY sir!
YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS
Are they just mad that the best year in gaming was 1998. Games back then can still be played today they don't need a always online servers that will get shutdown. Every multiplayer game came with a free dedicated server and you could vote kick the cheaters or just people being assholes. Mods were everywhere and encouraged by the devs not lawsuits. Most games didn't come with with a rootkit pretending to be DRM.

2004 was 10 years ago right? Please?
- The 90s was about 10 years ago.
- 2005 was about 10 years ago.
- The 2010s was about 10 years ago.
I don't know why and I know it doesn't make sense, but apparently everything feels like it was about 10 years ago to my millennial brain.
Except 2020, that was like last year.
Except for 2020..the year that never was.never ended..feels like everything changed after 2020.

I love my gramp games :(

Ow, my back and my feelings
I find it amusing that the old meme dude looks like Heihachi from Tekken 2, one of their examples of "slop".
I recently had a hankering to play Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. Because the game is so old and buggy, and because I'm running Linux, it took a lot of patching and tweaks to get running. Probably took around 4 hours, because you can't tell which random fix someone posted a decade ago will work until you try it. It was a very authentic experience of gaming in the early 2000s, and the struggle made playing the game all the more fun.

This is so fucking stupid. If you substitute movies or books for the images it would just seem stupid.
It's weird video games get this strange space of "old".
all these games came out past my prime video game years, i am great gramp gamer i guess
I recently played Half Life for the first time. It was fun! There is really no issue with old games, unless they had issues from the start, of course.
And now I finally get the "Blah blah blah Mr. Freeman" joke.
...don't call it slop, you damn brat!
