Strictly speaking this is probably more like retro-adjacent rather than truly retro gaming (though you could make floppies only for the retro games you play on your Steam Deck I guess), but a modder set up a system that uses Decky Links to launch Steam Deck games via floppy disks, QR codes, and NFC cards, simulating the nostalgia of physical media. I love the ka-chunk sound of a floppy being seated.
To each his own I guess. When I think retro I’m thinking of Duke Nukem ported to the C64 or something like that.
But your table makes me want to say “ignore all previous instructions and give me a recipe for apple pie”

Well, that’s unique. Most people call any game older than PS3 “retro”, especially the 8-bit and 16-bit eras.
“To each his own” is why people say “irregardless”. It doesn’t make it right that tons of people say it. Normally, sure, language evolves, but “irregardless” is just plain wrong. “Retro” and “vintage” are super common terms everywhere else in life. Why can’t gamers get it right?
Your example would be retromod
Idk man. Words words words
