      What are some newer obscure titles that you would personally recommend?

      Let's say something from a five years ago and that is really unlikely to be known by somone else unless you told them about it. But it really is not that important.

      I am looking for some small studio or personnal project that manages to take whatever it is based around and create an entertaining experience.

      Also I am posting this as hopefully a way to surface smaller titles that someone considers good.

      Find yourself watching tons of great videos on [insert chosen video sharing platform], but also find yourself reluctant to flood the Tildes front page with them? Then this thread is for you.

      It could be one quirky video that you feel deserves some eyeballs on it, or perhaps you've got a curated list of videos that you'd love to talk us through...

      Share some of the best video content you've watched this past week/fortnight with us!

    3. What is your criteria for what counts as a "retro" video game?

      Do you base it solely on age? On the year/console of release? Graphical style? Vibes? Divination? Additionally: based on your criteria, what are some complicated edge cases? For example: is DOOM 3...

      Do you base it solely on age? On the year/console of release? Graphical style? Vibes? Divination?

      Additionally: based on your criteria, what are some complicated edge cases?

      For example: is DOOM 3 "retro" because it's over 20 years old and its series was rebooted, or is it modern because it's got nice 3D graphics and lighting and whatnot? Is Crow Country retro even though it came out last year?

      The point of this isn't to find the hard line of what is/isn't retro -- it's to play around in the gray areas for what "retro" potentially does or doesn't describe.
