Corporate upgrades. They were selling off all the "Useless" computers that were easier to replace than upgrade. i5's w/ 4gb of DDR3 & a 500 gig drive aren't going to run too much modern (windows) software; but DDR3 is cheap to upgrade, and $5 for a system I can get going for an hour's worth of time is a no brainer.

Skyrim was 14 years ago.

Now it's slightly better graphics.

One is simply "20 years or older", which I feel doesn't really work with how much technology has slowed down. 20 years ago was 2006. 20 years before that was 1986. The difference between 2006 games and today is far more minor than 1986 games and 2006. Another is "when games weren't all native widescreen and weren't widely played online", which would be anything pre-Xbox 360 and PS3. I like this one, and also "anything that isn't playable on current console hardware", which would be (some) Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii or earlier - technically Wii U counts, but almost every notable game from that era was ported to Switch. It's currently similar to "20 years or older", but focuses on accessibility rather than technology.

That's not what i call progress.

You get amazing picture and smooth motion, and you still have to baby it like a crt.

I have a 500hz OLED that is way better than anything I've had before and by miles, and no gpu in history would have the horsepower to use that monitor except the 50 series Nvidia cards. We got ray tracing, and on the fly overlays now too. VR headsets are pretty good too.

Debating on what to use the other for, possibly a Home Assistant setup? Idk, but for that cheap I wasn't gonna pass 'em up!

The Xbox 360 is now as old as the NES was when the 360 released. While there's no actual definition of retro I feel the general idea is around 20 years old, meaning the 360 generation and all first year games are now retro.
