Yes! Thank you. I love the old pixel aesthetic, but today's art should fit today's constraints. Those classic games will always be around, awaiting your next nostalgia rush. Screw stagnation.

Likewise, I like old Victorians and Art Deco, but I wouldn't be excited about one built today. No one would respect a 2015 medieval-style castle quite like one from 1515.

Agreed. It's like the tacky buildings in Las Vegas that mimic other buildings, or Disney World, or those faux-European cities built for tourists in China.

I sure would love to see some new cathedrals built using the methods of centuries past, though.

However, a medieval-style castle would still be cool if it was built in 2015.

Pretty sure the pyramids were the original massively pixelated structure.
