What the fuck is up with all of the generational hate memes lately. Fuck off with that shit. Literally exactly what billionaires want you to fight about rather than realizing there’s no fucking difference between any generation.
I want to counterbalance the hate with something cool. Do you know what the fastest growing demographic of gamers is? People over 50. People are legit taking the time they have now that their kids have grown up and picking up video gaming. Its honestly cool and speaks to both the accessibility of gaming these days and people's general desire to try new things
Granted a subset of these over 50 year old gamers may have been gamers their entire lives, but gaming was pretty niche in the 80s and 90s, and didn't really become mainstream until the early 2000s, and even then it was seen as pretty dorky and geeky
