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.

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 had some image uploads work last night. And avatar.

Prior to that, I had json errors. Prior to that, I uploaded fine.

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.
