Why would it say 1996? Twenty years ago would’ve been the eighties, surely. /j
yeah 1996 was only like 5, 10 years ago tops. right?
…right??
Two weeks to flatten the curve turned into five years.
That’s not what flatten the curve meant. All it meant was to not all get sick at once so people got proper care. By definition it meant a longer period for the same amount of people getting sick.
Well, yes and no: if you presume the same amount of people would be getting sick, then flattening the curve would indeed necessarily spread it out. But the “two weeks” thing was at least partially in hopes of stopping the spread entirely and thus reducing the total number of people getting sick.
The original GDQ event took place starting 1 January 2010, and was called Classic Games Done Quick. Its capstone game was Final Fantasy VI, which was released on 11 October 1994 in North America. So FFVI was a little over 13 years old when CGDQ happened.
SGDQ2025 took place starting 6 July of this year. That means GDQ events have been going on for 15.5 years, and the event is older than some of the “classic” games from CGDQ were at the time of that original event.
If SGDQ2025 had wanted to use a Final Fantasy game as its capstone, the game of comparable age as FFVI was during CGDQ would have been FFXIII-2, which released on 31 January 2012 in North America.

Imma give this one a pass, the life era that I am familliar with FF 13 is drastically far away from the life I have now that the retro title fits.
World of warcraft is 21 years old.
