While I don’t disagree with your statement, this is what I was referencing:

The term “boomer shooter” is a playful reference to the ‘Baby Boomer’ generation who were the initial audience for these games.

I don’t think there is any doubt there.

I like the name and it’s memorable but I dont believe FPS were intended for “boomers”, weren’t they aimed at Gen X/maybe early millennials who were the young adults/children in these timeframes? Games weren’t an adulting pastime back then, it was child’s play.

I bet there were a few boomers playing but Gen X would have been the dominant gaming generation.

I can’t believe Gen X have been forgotten again.

Only for random instances.

Beehaw has specific rules about trying to be nice to others so if you want a pleasant scroll, you keep it on Local.

Works great.

Edit: and on Mastodon, if you join a country or state instance, you get posts from people in your area rather than “America First”.

That’s just business.

Thankfully I’m in a warm climate so the bin is an outside thing and I don’t need to worry about things like that. Did you move to any other composting methods?

If you joined beehaw, you aren’t exposed to lemmygrad which is what they may be talking about. Some of them are far, far left and because they outnumbered other Lemmy users, the general vibe of viewing posts was a little extreme.

They are dropping away on the community browser so they may be relegated to niche rather than dominant as more users join.
