Comment on The fact that even 3D games are old now blows my mind on a regular basis.

  That’s what’s mind blowing to me. The difference between games used to be staggering. The original Mario Bros compared to Mario 3 was huge. And jumping up to Mario 64 in less than a decade was even bigger still.

  Obviously games have continued to improve since then, but we’ll never have such rapid massive leaps again.

    Honestly, I believe technical progress has grinded to a halt. Moore’s law was broken with regards to hardware. I cannot think of novel tech after smartphones. Now, it feels like everything new is a wealth hoarding scheme by corporate greed.
