EnderWi99in, to gaming in OK Boomer Shooter: How indie games breathed new life into a dying genre

Boomer shooter isn't really about the generational boomers but that the games have a lot of "booms". It says it right at the top of the article. Boomers never even played video games. That era was all Gen X and old Millennials so it wouldn't even make sense that way.

EnderWi99in, to world in 12.3 Billion Miles Away: NASA Has Lost Communication With Voyager 2 Spacecraft

It's not going to be offline forever. It'll reorient in a couple months. It was designed to do this when comms are lost. Still a little scary though.

EnderWi99in, to gaming in Developers and Analysts Sound Off: Does the Next-Gen Nintendo Switch Need to Happen in 2024?

Can't wait fot Nintendo's next console that will be severely under powered and basically obsolete as soon as it is released. Used to love them but they have become so toxic and tone deaf.

EnderWi99in, to technology in How to Move from Mastodon to Firefish

I'm with you. If we keep migrating to something else we'll never actually settle to create a real community. I'm sticking with Mastadon. It's grown into something pretty stable and decent at this point.

EnderWi99in, to technology in Twitter To Rebrand As X

I believe his main goal is turning Twitter into something of an "everything" site where he's looking to combine the likes of Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Discord, and Venmo/Paypal into a single service. I don't know if it was his goal when he bought it or if it has any chance in hell of working, but that's something he at least said (while probably drunk) fairly recently.

EnderWi99in, to gaming in 70 percent of gamers avoid certain games because of 'toxic communities', study finds

Rocket League is alright so long as you can manage getting spammed WHAT A SAVE repeatedly after getting scored on.

EnderWi99in, to gaming in What's the age cut off for socially acceptable gaming

You're looking at it from the wrong direction. It's what age is the cut off that gaming was the norm growing up, and therefore remains a part of the culture at any age. I'm 38 and most people I know, both men and women, are into some type of gaming. I feel I'm already fairly close to that line so if you're looking at just a decade ahead, you grew up in the 70s and early 80s when gaming was just truly making it's first rise. For my generation in the 1990s though it was almost an expectation of childhood and making friends. Looks like you have to start dating people in their 30s.
