I kind of had the same moment like this. I replayed the Arkham games last year and it hit me that Arkham Knight is now more than a decade old. It's hard to believe since it looks better than even some newer games. It just hit home for me that graphically games have looked really good for a long time now that I no longer see any obvious advancements in the new games. It used to be that you could tell apart games that were released a few years apart(at least for games that are going for a realistic look rather than a stylized one) but now it just gets harder to tell them apart to the point I find it hard to believe a decade has gone by.

Was going through Halo from CE to Reach co-op with a buddy, we were quoting Arby 'n' the Chief, and Red Vs Blue the entire time.

I was about to say that, to me it isn't old games that make me feel old, but the more recent ones in which I keep imagining myself as this 20-something guy, when in fact I've already gone through my whole 30's. I feel just like you, there is no difference. Playing games from the last 2 generations is more pleasant than any other game that might release right now, even GTA 6.
