If you want to suggest that SOME uses of "retro" in relation to gaming, ...
Not just "some..." MOST, as I've demonstrated.
I'm sure I'm not alone in disagreeing with your assertion, but at this point, fuck it, you're welcome to your opinion.
I already went through a freakin' list with you where your "style" definition didn't fit and you're still arguing that it more often fits your definition within the context of classic gaming? Lunacy. You haven't even started a counter list. Do so and my list will grow faster than yours until... POP!
I swear to God, this is what happened on my lunch break when I went to go pick up my friend:
Me-"What do you think that retro means in the context of retro-gaming?" [yes, I actually talk like this]
Him-"Classic"
I wish I had recorded it as proof that people understand and use this definition, but I wouldn't lie just to win an argument. Try asking people yourself without loading the question, man-on-the-street-style. For perspective, the only classic game he has is a Game Boy Color I gave him a few months ago and he has never even turned it on (mentioned in another thread).
The whole point of arguing like this is so you pop one big enough to blow, yourself, duh.
Mods, lock this up. Seriously. This is the most awesome fucking exchange in NA history.
Happy tenth birthday, NintendoAge.
"Lock horns, not threads." It seems enough people are running amok with the incorrect interpretation that we need to have this conversation and it clearly hasn't changed yet.

"Lock horns, not threads." Aparantly, we need to have this conversation.
Hey, Data - I'm referring to the exchange I quoted. Besides, we already have that other retrobumped thread to blow our loads in.
That was me getting a notification that the thread was bumped and accidentally returning to the wrong tab to reply to the last post. My bad. All we're doing here is locking horns until one of us demonstrates superior strength and gets to mate with the female.
The winner of this thread should have to change their avatar to Ouroboros. Just saying.
How would one win this thread now? I dunno about you but i wouldn't feel like a winner on any day that ends with a penis in my mouth, even if it is mine.

That is too good of a point, actually. Perhaps... you win?

I mean, we all have our own comfort level with admitting the deeper truths in life...
Do not try and bend the penis in my mouth. That's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth. There is no penis in my mouth. Then you'll see that it is not the penis in my mouth that bends, it is only yourself.
The public has to already have an understanding of "retro-" for "retro-style" to have ever made sense before it was shortened, thus, it's circular-reasoning to imply that the assumption of that use when shortened is the only valid assumption.
Shortening it to "retro" and considering it the only definition for "retro" is an attempt to retcon the historical definition of retro to suit your own more-limited understanding.
Retro-style is not a word you'll find outside of wikipedia. Retro is literally a french word we commandeered into English. No one dropped any hyphens (although we DID drop the accent over the o).

Yes, they popularized it in the fashion world, but even there it was a shortened version of "rétrograde," so it is still a prefix missing the suffix. Our general public does not speak French and "rétrograde" referred to a style, hence, "retro-style" where the French fashion context cannot be assumed. Our understanding of "retro" as it relates to fashion comes from its general use as a prefix in our own language, where it has the same meaning as theirs.

Oops. Wrong tab again.
I would like to see these two dudes face off in a discussion over the meaning of life. Heads would explode.
Which heads are we referring to here?

LOL! Thread is worth it for this tangent alone.

The real question is in a contest of self-felating, what is the more impressive feat?
Endurance?
or a quick finish?
