Does the "retro-gaming" community feel exceptionally cancerous to anyone else these days? What happened?

Those two faggots in the first image really have, "I should have been beaten more in school" look to them.

That is the joke.

Congrats, you got the joke.

Thanks for explaining, I don't know who this faggot is and by extend his apparently dead wife.

You did it champ. you got the joke.

Because its now about scalpers and hipster fucks trying to look cool.

Retro turned into an utter abomination of shit when people started liking it unironically. I have a special place for the Mega Man X games because it feels like yesterday when I played it as a kid, it's timeless to me. I don't get a "nostalgia" boner from it. This pompous air of superiority makes me sick. Fuck hipsters. They ruin everything they fucking touch.
