Best way to catch up on the entire lore behind that character.
I met a grown adult the other week that told me she liked playing Fortnite
So what? I'm not a fan of Fortnite as well, but let people enjoy what they want.
Right, so why downvote me and not this insipid image macro?
Why not both?
Because I'm not mocking people for enjoying things?
in the context that wasn't very clear
Lemmy often assumes the worst about your comment. I think people interested 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.
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.
Game is game. Play whatever brings you joy. Except FIFA, of course.
FUCK YOU!!
*FUCK YOU'RE
Why? What grammatical mistake did I make?
Sheepishly holds up hand
Surely, you mean Warcraft 2 and Red Alert, right? Right?
Diablo 2 too, seems like it was just yesterday.
See project diablo 2, and homm3 hota.
What's Red Alert? Should I know this? I'm 31 and all I have ever played is Minecraft. Lol.
What the.. yes you should!
The game that came out when I was 4?
Yea, I'm 31 as well and I played it so much
Did you only start gaming in your late teens?
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. 🤷♂️
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.
Hell March intensifies
If for nothing else, the soundtracks and Tim Curry's / George Takai's performances in Red Alert 2
Right now I'm playing modded Minecraft while waiting for Terraria 1.4.5
Pretty much the same. Can't wait for Terraria 1.4.5
i also, coincidentally, am waiting for Terraria 1.4.5 by playing Minecraft. specifically Better than Adventure.
Maybe I’m just old, but those all seem like kid games to me.
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.
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
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.
And what roblox game is still popular since 2006 to today.
I think that's part of the joke.
