I do some occasional tool and game programming for 8-bit machines for fun because it's so close to the metal and different from modern software development. It has nothing to do with feeling older or younger. I also despise forced anachronistic "retro" graphics "aesthetic" and I'll never again play new games that feature overly blocky "pixel art". I've had enough of that in my childhood, it's ugly, almost always uninspired and lazy, and I really don't want to see it anymore.
