/vr/ - Retro Games

Obviously what they mean is that they just hate old games and probably hate themselves as well. I know this because games don't actually age, people age. Organic matter experiences senescence while retro games are forever crystallised in the state they inhabited at release. So why else would someone lie and say that software is capable of growing old like a living creature when that is clearly not the case?

It is reminiscent of this "joke", a supposedly classic example of absurdist humour:
>A horse walks into a bar. The bartender asks him "why the long face?"

In this so-called "joke", much of the humour is apparently derived from the man behind the bar asking the horse why his skull is elongated in shape. However, this actually makes little sense because (a it's extremely unlikely that a horse would ever enter such a place of it's own accord, b) horses are incapable of replying to such a question or even understanding human speech to that extent and c) the answer to the question is actually well within the purview of modern evolutionary theory. In this case, the horse has a long face because it is an animal that spends a lot of time with it's neck bent down grazing. This elongated skull shape allows for the eyes to be placed nearer the top of the head in order to survey the horizon for potential threats as the mouth (much lower on the skull) consumes grass for sustenance.

The joke is completely nonsensical and yet the listener is still expected to laugh despite the sheer ignorance of the joke-teller. In the same way, people who claim video games can age are also making a nonsensical statement which they simply expect the recipient to understand implicitly despite it's absurd nature. The only logical conclusion is that these people are hateful, troglodytic creatures with no understanding of the language which they speak. Their opinions should not be taken seriously on this matter or any other.
