What's Red Alert? Should I know this? I'm 31 and all I have ever played is Minecraft. Lol.
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.
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?"
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
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.
Conversations about Morrowind: “aww you’re sweet”
Conversations about any other game: “hello, human resources?!?”
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.
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.
