Anon disrespects their elders

  When kids say “boomer” they mean an adult. Doesn’t matter what age you are. If you’re an adult you’re a boomer. End of story.

  When you try to explain to them what a boomer actually is they just laugh at you and call you a boomer again because honestly that shit is a pretty a boomer thing to do.

    “Daddy when can I have beer?”
    “When you’re a boomer.”

  Clearly not a boomer, but whatever.

  Anon so closeted they don’t even understand what normal human behaviour looks like.

    I absolute despise when people dismiss some videogames as a boomer thing. Boomers did not play videogames (in general), as a matter of fact, most of them hated them.

      Video games are all either gay or the devil, and there’s nothing you can do to convince me otherwise

  I don’t even understand anon’s point. Use Nintendo DS in public?

    That’s what it seems to me. How horrifying to use a device that isn’t a phone I guess?

    Also boomers had DSs??

      Definitely. I gave one to my mom for her birthday back then. She’s been a Tetris fanatic since I had my first game boy way back then.

      Some did, like my grandad. He had a DSi XL with a fancy stylus.

  I’m so confused. Can someone explain this one to me? It just looks like someone is playing a phone game or DS or something. Don’t people play phone games still or is that the joke?

    Its consider cringe by “the youths” to be out in public playing a handheld game console.

      Interesting, so being into ad-infested, freemium mobile games is okay, but being into real games that you can play straight through without interruptions is cringe?

      I’m suddenly glad to be an adult.

    Youngest boomers are 61, though :D

    Might be 54 might be 14. Might be an antediluvian alien life form 🤷

  Im pretty sure the oldest handhelds that people actually played in public (yes there were earlier but I’m talking something you would actually see) would be the GB/GBA which was mostly played by millennials. Meanwhile the DS was played by a mix of millennials and older Gen z.

    The Gameboy with Tetris was a huge phenomenon, and it released in 1989, it was very popular with young adults back then which were Gen X and boomers

  • someoneelse@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    There were single game handheld devices since the early 80’s, so boomers/X were definitely the first generations with them.

    Don’t they mean “boomer” as in “30 year old boomer” meme? Or even just as an insult?

  • moopet@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Probably more like Nintendo Game&Watches and their clones.
