lo-fi is usually fine. sometimes when the animation is super shit I have issues. The game that made me make this thread was "Realm of the Mad God", which is just shit
Yeah, Realm of the mad god looks shit. It's a "pixel" art game where objects have black outlines smaller than the "pixels" and the "pixels" of different objects don't run orthogonal to each other. I don't get it because these graphics aren't technically impressive, nor do they invoke any nostalgia. They just look crap.



There's an elegance in how basic and lightweight pixel art is. I wonder how many thousands of times more cpu intensive rendering those graphics are.
