“Boomer shooter” is the latest term to follow the likes of “Roguelike” or “Soulslike” in the realm of hyperspecific gaming subgenres. It applies to first-person shooters that intentionally harken back to the classic PC games of the late ‘90s like Doom and Quake.
The twitch community/culture as a whole is obnoxious. Just as bad as TikTok imo.
No idea, I am not part of any of that. Seems like that has always been a good decision.
Did this even come from Twitch? People outside of Twitch use the word “boomer”.
