Never give up. Never surrender.

By Grabthar's Hammer... What a savings.

I'm old enough to recognize the phrase, but I've long since forgotten the source. 💀

I don't want to alarm you, but Galaxy Quest is a 90's movie

The Wii is retro gaming. Let that sink in.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 13 points 11 months ago

I think my mind is frozen in time, because the line for what is "retro" to me is solidly between the transition from 2D to 3D.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

For me it's anything prior to 360/PS3, because from then on the graphical and gameplay leaps have been incremental compared to what came before. You really don't consider N64 or PSX retro?

We called the NES retro gaming when the N64 was out. The PS3 is retro gaming, too. So GTA5 and Skyrim are retro re-releases.

[-] inverted_deflector@startrek.website 8 points 11 months ago

I often thing about this. Technology moved so fast in those days and then it sort of plateaued. Things are certainly getting more powerful of course but nothing like that old generational leap we used to feel.

I think it's also a testament to the age of the medium as well. Most gaming fans are young gen xers or millennials. The medium grew up with its fanbase and with that comes the perspective of a youth. A 7 year old looks back at their preschool years like ancient history, a teen the same of grade school. Combined with how antiquated the tech was it felt holder. Median gamer age is rising and if you ask a 35 year old about when they were 25 it would feel a lot closer.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yup. The 360 came out 15 years before the Series X was released, yet the graphics improvement from 2005 - 2020 is minuscule compared to 1990 - 2005.

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

I thought the PS5 felt like more of a generational leap than the PS4 did.

We’re not worthy!

[-] lgmjon64@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

Did this once with a Soylent Green reference. I wasn't even the oldest person there and nobody knew what I was talking about.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 5 points 11 months ago

"What's with lgmjon64 hating soy or something?"

[-] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

No, (s)he said something about people, I think @lgmjon64@lemmy.world just hates everyone...

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

You know what the problem was? It's people.

[-] Auduras@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

Roads!? Where we're going we don't need roads...

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 11 points 11 months ago

I work with people who haven't even seen fucking Ghostbusters.

It's a painful existence to feel this old, but I console myself with the knowledge that most of them will be renting until they're about 60.

They said you was hung.

And they was right.

Tell them I said "ow," got it!

[-] GombeenSysadmin@feddit.uk 3 points 11 months ago

More beans, Mr Taggart?

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 10 points 11 months ago

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

[-] ReplicantBatty@lemmy.one 10 points 11 months ago

You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

No truth-handler, you! Bah, I deride your truth-handling abilities!

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 8 points 11 months ago

We had a teacher make a "Bueller? Bueller?" reference once. You could see her die inside when we didn't laugh.

It's not like we didn't get it, it just wasn't funny. I don't know if that would have made it worse for her.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 7 points 11 months ago

Hey, before the internet, "memes" had to last for a long time. She's just showing off how environmentally conscious she is by not throwing that one out yet.

[-] Pistcow@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago

I'll have what she's having

[-] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Not a movie but a song reference tale of woe:

Some propaganda training meeting at the office and there were treats to eat. One of the guys grabbed an apple pie and had a bite, but it also had lime in it so he said

Coworker: "Yuck, I hate lime with apple"

Me: "I guess you prefer your lime in the coconut."

...

Coworker: "I've never had lime with coconut before."

Me: sigh

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe?
Because it's dull, you twit, it'll hurt more.

[-] Jarlsburg@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Your winnings, sir

[-] Emi621@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 11 months ago

Me pointing out that one character from world war z that uses a crowbar as weapon looks like Gordon Freeman, the whole class not understanding at all.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

He hasn't been in a game for 16 years, so it makes sense.

Works the other way around too. If you're the only one in the room actually keeping up with pop culture, because everyone else is just too old to care.

Being a boomer is a mental state, change my mind lmao.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

I'm not even old but I like watching older stuff. In my college, whenever I try to reference Seinfeld or IT Crowd nobody gets it.

[-] treesapx@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Yeah, but the longer you have to wait to find someone who gets it the sweeter that moment is. I'll go a good decade not working with anyone who knows a damn thing about Starship Troopers, but when I do... That's a good, knee-slapping lunch we'll have before one of us quits to never be seen again.

[-] robojeb@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I'm doing my part!

Do you want to know more?
