I can imagine a future conversation going like this.
Kid: Dad I want to be on the internet.
Me: no, there are too many weirdos online, I'll need to supervise you.
Kid: come on dad, the internet is a safe place, it's not that bad
Me: I've been on the internet 3 times longer than you've been alive and continue to use it, I know the kind of things that are out there and know it's not appropriate for you. It's like those m-rated games that I keep locked up and play when you're asleep or at grandmas.

If it works.

I would grind my teeth when I was younger and my dentist tells me every time "oh you grind, we should look into a mouth guard" and I'm like "doc I know, I've been using a night guard every day since we discovered this 20 years ago after all my baby teeth fell out." Kind of annoying.

Lets see, me, Herrodere, and mctrump makes 3, maybe there is another active American.

Sorry but this isn't how the video player works on hugelol.

Then it isn't a retro game; and I think it is a fair statement, laserdisk games tend to have visuals that are equal to or better than what we get today, it's photo realism because it's actual photographic video.

Are you talking about the uncommon arcade game that was released on laserdisk like Dragon's Lair?

Too bad, I genuinely liked them (and was academically fascinated by Madame Webb).

As would 4 year old me, my dad had to engineer unique baby proofing because I would figure out how to bypass it.

Anything with discs isn't retro, anything with cartridges is retro.
Yes, by that logic the Sega CD isn't retro and the Switch 2 is.
