nta as I'm sure you know gameplay is determined by the game rules, the issue is how others interpret "their experience" as superior after negating game rules and how they are effectively playing a completely different game as a result.

>It's what you do when you've already beaten the game vanilla
Not necessarily, some players are just allergic to losing.

It's delusional coping to nerf game rules and pretend you're playing the same game

Classic/retro gaming will always refer to gen 4 and back, anyone that lacks interest in classic gaming design but wants to feel included in the fake social accreditation will insert their later games with newer design philosophies into the conversations until a critical mass of anons whom prefer newer design philosophies are seen as the default "retro game" anon. If you describe games as "janky", having "aged poorly", being "repetitive", etc, I'm inclined to think you are trying to convince yourself you still like classic games despite the apparent fact you cannot enjoy classic game design without cheapening your experience through modern QOL hacks rather than picking games you find interesting, giving each title a fair chance, and making up your own mind on them.

If you exclusively have a curated list of critically-reviewed titles you may as well stick to watching walkthroughs online instead, your experience will be about the same only you won't waste any time having to learn anything about the games while getting maximum enjoyment from the music and art design. You could even go full little brother mode and pretend to play the game with a disconnected controller.
