MilliaStrange, do gaming w What are some good PSP games?

Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles, which is a nice 3D remake of one of the better classic vanias, Rondo of Blood. An updated version of Symphony of the Night is an unlockable in the game (as well as the original Rondo) so this is a great way to experience both games if you haven’t already.

Millennials are going to be in absolute shambles if they ever find out “Okay boomer” wasn’t directly targeted at boomers.

It wasn’t? This is what Wikipedia says:

“OK boomer” or “okay boomer” is a catchphrase and internet meme that has been used by members of the Millennial generation and Generation Z (born between the early 1980s and the early 2010s) to dismiss or mock attitudes typically associated with baby boomers – people born in the two decades following World War II.

Who was it targeted at then?

DragonTypeWyvern,

Young people saying things old people told them.

People who were usually younger than millennials.

It was targeted at everyone older than the younger people saying it.

It’s used as a catch all, with the intention of getting everyone riled up. Because regardless of if you’re an actual boomer or not, now you’re getting bundled together with them.

I love the term. For me it’s not just a shooter in an older style but also a shooter that goes BOOM. Much better than boring cover shooters.

@onlooker@lemmy.ml avatar

Oh, they’re definitely better, no question. But by that definition, wouldn’t that make them Boom Shooters?

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Na, because the newer shooters still go boom. But boomer shooters are just boomer. And everybody’s waiting for the coming of the boomest shooter.

I kind of enjoy this take lol

I would love to see that take place, so sign me up for the Church of the Boomest Shooter. My only real concern is where do we go from boomest?

That’s the neat part, we don’t. Can’t have the messiah coming for real. Otherwise you get splinter religions.

Now I feel like playing Messiah.

    We’ve already seen the boomest shooter. Our savior hath already come and gone and left us behind to witness his passing. His name was Ultrakill.

    Yeah, it drives me nuts as well! Boomers hated video games. They still hate video games. They had congressional hearings about the evils of video games. Stupid name.

    My dad helped me install the original Wolfenstein 3D on DOS when I was a kid. And he’s 100% a boomer (b.1947). So for that reason it always feels accurate to me.

    tiredofsametab,

    I had just assumed it was for the generation whence a chunk of the programmers came

    Phroon, do gaming w I hate the term "Boomer Shooter"

    I always assumed that the Boom in Boomer Shooter was more “Gun go Boom”, which seemed to fit the genre quite well.

    I get that the term doesn’t line up age wise with actually Boomers in terms of calendar years, but also video game generations are shorter than social generations. We’re currently on the “ninth-generation” of video games, and Doom came out at the beginning of the third generation of video games. So you could consider Doom-likes to be 6 generations old, and baby-boomers to be 4 generations old. So in terms of “generations”, Boomer shooters should maybe be named after an older generation such as the “Greatest Generation” (6 generations ago). Therefore I propose we call Doom-likes “Greatest Shooters” instead of “Boomer shooters”.

    @onlooker@lemmy.ml avatar

    Oh, I’m liking this take. Get ready for “Z Shooters” and “Alpha Shooters”.

    FeelzGoodMan420, do gaming w I hate the term "Boomer Shooter"

    Oh come on. It’s funny. Boomer is more of a state of mind descriptor at this point. Don’t be such a boomer bro.

    Guys, IT ISN’T A REFERENCE TO THE BOOMER GENERATION. It’s boomer as in shotgun-go-BOOM.

    DragonTypeWyvern,

    This is worse tho. You can’t just erase the bfg like this

    It’s such a fun phrase to say, though.

    It does roll off the tongue nicely, I have to admit.

    Boomer is a state of mind, love, and this post is a shining example of boomerism.

    Tiltinyall,

    I’d say closer to the xennial “forgotten generation” type. The playtesters of all of your favorite franchises didn’t fall behind as far as you think.
