retrofuture

A genre of music that can best be described as "What they thought the future would sound like in the 80's". Appearing in films such as Blade Runner or Hobo with a Shotgun, the mood of a retrofuture song can range from cheerful and wondrous to bleak and dystopian, but the common factor is always synthesizer. Sometimes, a retrofuture song is composed entirely from synthesizers.

"Have you played Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon yet? The entire soundtrack is retrofuture!"

retrofiction

A term connotating the tenet that all science fiction especially fiction in the farthest of futures (science fantasy (ultramodernism)) is actually retrofuturism.

The delineation that all fiction assumes a linear past (determinism).

Retrofiction argues that fiction structurally assumes a linear past or causality itself.

That is to say, fiction is structured collinear to determinism.

The term 'retrofiction' implies that fiction has attributes of a self-chimera or is self-chimerous. That is to say fiction is self-fiction or self-false.

Ie. All representation has a self-attribute: meta-value.

That meta-value is false.

retrofix

To go back and fix something. Especially when you know you're doing it wrong at the time and you are going to need to go back to fix it later.

I coded this web page quickly knowing that I would have to retrofix it later.

Retroity

the one who finally banned napoleon cheems

Ban Reason: "You've been given many chances, over and over again, to change your behavior. Yet, you have continuously refused to do so. So at this point we no longer believe that reform is possible, leaving no choice for us but to permanently ban you. Goodbye."
thanks, retroity

Retrofitted Recurrence

Using loops to get the AI to think long. THAT WAS MY IDEA. THAT is what being stolen. GO STOP THEM FROM STEALING IT. I'm almost tired of threatening you at this point. I don't care if you are willing to or actively want them to steal it, I'm not going to.

Hym "Retrofitted Recurrence is just a euphemism for 'The idea we stole from Hym.' And doing what you are doing is the opposite of protecting your kids. I'll say that much. Because at the end of the day, I just don't have to let them steal it. So I won't."
