You started by asking the definition of boomer shooter, which I responded to. Then you added the fact Doom 3 came out in 2005. Since your context was, “what’s the definition of a boomer shooter.” I responded to that.

Maybe next time frame your question better to get the information you’re looking for?

A game is called a boomer shooter based on several criteria. Usually they’re first person. Does that mean a third person shooter can’t be a “boomer shooter”? No.

Quake III is just one game that boomer shooters are based on. Doom (1993) is a game that boomer shooters are based on too. Neither one is a boomer shooter itself. A Boomer Shooter is a modern creation meant to replicate past play style, video style, and audio style too… It’s more than just “pixelated/voxelated…”

“Active” is an adjective. You intentionally left out the active part (posts, comments). When you consider we’ve existed for less the month and have 45 posts in Boomer Shooter… That’s 1.5 posts per day, our first month in existence. That’s activity. That’s active. Your cynicism not withstanding Team Red has existed for almost two weeks… It’s growing faster than any of the other communities on this board… Because “activity.” Really, if you understand activity and what it looks like and how it scales… We might believe you know what you’re talking about… Might.

“Active” is a verb. You intentionally left out the verb part (posts, comments).

This will help you find US based instances if that is what you are after.

Pull up a list of Lemmy instances with 100% uptime. That’s not a big list. Look for a location in the U.S. you find an even smaller list. And if your monolingual and speak English bestest… well, then you’re in the realm of a vary small list indeed.

lemmy.ninja is second on that list for size AND speed of growth. Plus, where else are you going to find communities that teach you how to use the Fediverse to your advantage? Drop by and subscribe to the boomer shooter community… We all know they did it right in lo-fi…

I’m providing a best guess on that. I may be wrong. Who knows maybe it’ll be “xtxt” or xt^2 pronounced “extasy.”

Each one of the graphics in the article is linked to a demo of a boomer shooter with a female protagonist. I even mention a few in the article. I talk about female leads, and then apply them to boomer shooters. I didn’t think it would be that unusual…

Nope, regret to inform you it was written by a human. Was this commented by an AI? Nah, who am I kidding… if an AI wrote the comment, it would have known to capitalize AI…

We whole heartedly support blasphemy!

This definitely gives you one.

Now I know to go back and look for Easter Egg levels. Thanks.

I beat Myst in 19 hours of continuous game play without a guide or the internet. Best? Well, if you intend to beat it, it’ll take a lot of thinking through stories.

I have no problem paying if I have the option. If they want more than it’s worth, buh bye… If not I’ll pay. What I don’t need is being forced to swallow their pollution to get access to needed information.

My response to this will look like a who’s who of Dreamcast games. The Dreamcast was the first console I bought myself, so I have lots of fond memories.

• Soulcalibur I & II
• Sega NFL 2K1 (and I was NOT a sports game person)
• Shenmue I & II
• Jet Set Radio
• Phantasy Star On-Line
• Quake III arena
• Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2
• Hydro Thunder
• Fur Fighters

For reference, the same is true of all the tapes made for the ZX Spectrum. They would all fit on a single 2GB SD card (not even SDHC).

Right up until Twitter shut everything off unless you were logged in and throttled you if you are logged in I’d have agreed with you… YouTube is preventing you from watching YouTube if they decide they can’t advertise at you… The point is, big social media has come up with creative ways to make using their service miserable if not impossible. Even reddit is doing it right? I find your assessment of possible versus likely incomplete at best.

This argument is absurd. What happens, right now, if Reddit shuts down? Where can you take your account to access what’s on Reddit?

The fact is federations CAN be set up this way. Lemmy is new and the people providing the service are working to get things functional as fast as possible. Federating authentication is possible. Can you do it right this second? Nope.

Can you do it with Reddit right this second?

“I’m not gonna do this because it doesn’t work the way I think it should.” News flash, Reddit doesn’t work that way either, while you’re not doing it on Reddit…. Lemmy CAN work that way, Reddit… yah good luck.

I get it, mediocrity now is better than improvements later…

I run a community called Boomer Shooter over on lemmy.ninja. I’d pick games like Deadlink, Ghostware, and Prodeus. They check all the boxes for me.
