> My main gripe is with sloppy technique. A lot - not all, but a lot - of modern pixel art is purposely made to look overly blocky. Dithering and anti-aliasing just isn't utilized, which makes it look even chunkier than actual old game art does on a modern screen. Or lot of pixel art games come from people who are coders first and not artists. So they may not really know of or how to apply those techniques.
