I'm very guilty of this. I'm an old man set in my ways. : memes

On one hand yeah sure back in the day I get it.

Now dang near every game is press x to continue/begin so the start button just begs a question.

On Xbox we have Big X and Little X too!

My primary gaming is on Xbox and I still can't tell the hamburger and copy button icons apart without looking at them when a game refers to them in a tutorial or menu.

In another timeline, Windows 95 introduced the 'Options' button, a revolutionary breakthrough in graphical interface design.

The boomer traits of old gamers

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Boomers didn't play video games. If you're going to joke with generational slurs at least get the generations right.

Was moreso joking in the way people say "XYZ is my boomer trait," but sure

To be clear I also call it a start button (because that's what it is)

Oh I know. I'm just saying. Calling anything boomer regarding video games doesn't make sense though.

Gen X is the first game generation.
It's cool. I got the joke.
