alt Hacker News> I also agree that modern, blocky pixel art often is a kind of misdirected, anachronistic nostalgia.
Pixel art, for me, is the Gameboy Color and Gameboy Advanced which I never played on a CRDT.

Hear hear. I’m so tired of this pixel art elitism (exhibited in the article) which asserts with certainty that our fondness for pixel art comes from viewing it distorted on CRTs.
The Game Boy was insanely popular, is part of many people’s introduction to and fondness for pixel art, and it had an LCD screen.

Same thought here, GBA was the peak of mainstream 2D graphics for me. I look at games from that era and often times they have aged well, they still look ideal to me.
