Sheepishly holds up hand

Surely, you mean Warcraft 2 and Red Alert, right? Right?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Diablo 2 too, seems like it was just yesterday.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

See project diablo 2, and homm3 hota.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

What's Red Alert? Should I know this? I'm 31 and all I have ever played is Minecraft. Lol.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

What the.. yes you should!

Hell March intensifies

The game that came out when I was 4?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Yea, I'm 31 as well and I played it so much

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Did you only start gaming in your late teens?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Nope. Played mostly Nintendo games, like Ocarina, MM, pokemon, and smash. Then the alpha builds of Minecraft in 2009. Guess I'm a filthy casual. 🤷‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You're fine :)

It's just weird to me I guess, someone in my age group who doesn't know the CNC games.

My only exposure to command and conquer was that my bio dad played it when I was over at his house on weekends while he ignored me. And I think around that time I was more into RuneScape.

If for nothing else, the soundtracks and Tim Curry's / George Takai's performances in Red Alert 2

If im feeling cheeky and one of my fellow nerd friends mentions a favorite character of theirs, i like to say "oh, that guy from Fortnite?"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Best way to catch up on the entire lore behind that character.

Maybe I’m just old, but those all seem like kid games to me.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can’t wait to see this meme in 8 years.

When you’re having an argument about Fortnite and Roblox and someone brings up FunkoPop Mania

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Roblox is significantly older than Minecraft (2006 vs. 2009/2011 depending on where you start counting) so the optimistic part of me thinks people won't talk about Roblox like that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

And what roblox game is still popular since 2006 to today.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

I think that's part of the joke.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Those who grew up with Terraria and Minecraft in their golden era are young adults.

So I'd say you're not a young adult at least, wouldn't say you're old though.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Right now I'm playing modded Minecraft while waiting for Terraria 1.4.5

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Pretty much the same. Can't wait for Terraria 1.4.5

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

i also, coincidentally, am waiting for Terraria 1.4.5 by playing Minecraft. specifically Better than Adventure.

Conversations about Morrowind: “aww you’re sweet”

Conversations about any other game: “hello, human resources?!?”

I met a grown adult the other week that told me she liked playing Fortnite

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So what? I'm not a fan of Fortnite as well, but let people enjoy what they want.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Right, so why downvote me and not this insipid image macro?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because I'm not mocking people for enjoying things?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

in the context that wasn't very clear

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Lemmy often assumes the worst about comments. I think people interpreted* your comment as "can you imagine this woman I know enjoys this kiddy game?!". While you really meant, I think, "some adults like to play Fortnite, too, actually".

Correct me if I'm wrong.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

That's a bingo.

I join my boomer squad nearly every night. I'm the youngest at age 43. We win 1 in every 4 games, so that's not awful. Depending on the mood we w-key or we just have fun and giggles.

It is a very well made game with fun mechanics and plenty of content.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Game is game. Play whatever brings you joy. Except FIFA, of course.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Why? What grammatical mistake did I make?
