I appreciate being called an AI. If poisoning the well to start your argument makes you feel better, so be it. Whatever makes you sleep at night.

Really? YOU called them Doom-clones? Everyone I know called them Doomalikes. I’m not talking about Arena FPS games.

The term Boomer shooter isn’t TRYING to be “chronologically accurate.” I guess you gave away that you didn’t actually read what was written… It’s not just about the exact generation, it’s about using the term several ways. What happens in Doom when you shoot a barrel… Oooh oooh I know this one teacher… It goes BOOM! Having it served to you on a silver platter, you just couldn’t see the forest for the trees could you?

Don’t anyone notice that I spent FIVE PARAGRAPHS addressing this…

Glad to be of service. Feel free to read the article it references from yesterday. I put about twice as much effort in to it ;)

[–] MrEUser@lemmy.ninja 2 points 2 years ago

That’s what I’m here to do. Push the drug of unplayed video games on to the masses ;) I really appreciate your patience with me the other day! I look forward to providing useful and meaningful content, for both of us.

For those that prefer another term I recommend “retroFPS”

I’m pretty excited about it. I’ll be streaming it on release day (like I did for Trepang^2) at my owncast site.

Glad you like this. I’m trying to do at least one quality article per day on the subject. If you’ll notice there’s an article I linked to that I wrote yesterday. I hope you’ll enjoy it as well.

It’s been used for a couple years now. Seems like a pretty small thing to get so worked up over.

[–] MrEUser@lemmy.ninja 2 points 2 years ago

I’m not here to argue with you. That’s great that’s what YOU want the definition to be. When OTHER people talk about Boomer Shooters they’re talking about games released recently BASED ON elements of FPS games released in previous decades.

I hear what you’re saying. Boomer doesn’t JUST mean Baby Boomer Generation. It is also used as “the old generation.” There was a meme/song that was popular for a while called “Ok Boomer…” The other thing to consider is that most of the “Boomer” shooters have grenades. They go “BOOM.” So maybe let’s not hang up on the name so much? If you don’t like it I might recommend “retroFPS.”

It's cute how you think I'm going to take legal advice from you. You do you, have a nice evening.

Glad to be of service. I picked this article as it relates to a couple others I did. One is on todays release of Trepang^2. It’s crossposted in the community if you are interested.
