this is less to invalidate the work of people who call their things 8-bit and more the feeling that calling their work 8-bit invalidates actual 8-bit work

calling it "retro style" or "fakebit" (coined in some music circles) or anything to that effect is fine

my pet peeve is when people call anything with overscaled pixels or a square wave sample "8-bit"

i want to stay home and work on the things with close deadlines but i need to drag myself to a friend's birthday party bluh
