Damn boomers always sitting around on public transport with their remarkably youthful complexions glued to tiny screens.
Like talking to your phone held in front of your face on speaker.
what fucking boomer was playing handhelds in public?
boomers didn't even know what a gameboy was. gen x were the parents that got that shit for their kids
Ok boomer
p.s. boomer is anyone one nanosecond older than you.
Boomer behavior would be much more like being on a bus or train and taking a phone call on speakerphone.
Or just watching a video of playing music full blast without a headset or ear buds.
Which is actually something that is common amongst zoomers, very common the closer they are to an alpha.
As well as just being a shit disturber live streamer, and also streaming and driving a car at the same time.
... So yeah, I don't think the brainrotted zombies understand 'societal norms' very well.
Whereas taking pictures of strangers to post on 4chan is top chad
I mean the other day on the bus someone was having a full-volume face time conversation on speakerphone about the groceries they were about to buy, I wish people were just playing Nintendo DS in public these days.
How is this worse than the smartphone addiction epidemic? Even people walking can't put their phones away to get to their destination safely.
I had no idea that was supposed to be the embarrassing part. It's exactly the same! I can only assume the meme is being ironic.
Fake: anon is actually envious
Gay: anon wishes he was the girl in the photo
Anon is an egg
Anon wants to get fertilized and then sat on by a chicken
which is a lot gayer than regular gay
Yeah, well... I'm Epstein about it...
Cus fuck them kids.
The DS Lite was such a good little handheld. Especially with a flashcart in both ports. The GBA one I had couldn't hold a ROM, you had to flash it from the DS one every time, but GBA games weren't big, I didn't have many, and I had a huge SD card in my flashcart.
Even in pink. (I'd just put stickers all over it, then put a clear clamshell case on it because those stickers would get icky.) (Not that I don't like the pink DSL. It's a fine look. I just prefer my electronics to be black.)
There was one kind of DS that could detect other DS's nearby, and you'd get little rewards for things like how far you walked and how many other people you walked past that also had a DS in their bag. One time I got home and I'd apparently walked past a Nintendo employee at some point and got a special achievement thing for it!
That would be the 2|3ds. Streetpass my beloved
When kids say "boomer" they mean an adult. Doesn't matter what age you are. If you're an adult you're a boomer. End of story.
When you try to explain to them what a boomer actually is they just laugh at you and call you a boomer again because honestly that shit is a pretty a boomer thing to do.

As a millennial, that irritates me. Every day I find a new reason to be happy(ish..) that I didn't end up with kids.
boomer applies to anyone who has the typical mentality of a boomer (the age). anyone can be a boomer, sadly.
They've Syndrome monologued us 😦

Lemmy is just Reddit for adults.
Clearly not a boomer, but whatever.
Anon so closeted they don't even understand what normal human behaviour looks like.
I absolute despise when people dismiss some videogames as a boomer thing. Boomers did not play videogames (in general), as a matter of fact, most of them hated them.
Many did, but stopped after the atari/namco era.
my mother (boomer) did and still does, but refuses to admit it. she absolutely loved grim fandango, the monkey island series, quest for glory, kings quest and space quest, pretty much anything sierra or lucasarts. i keep trying to get her to dip her toe into some walking simulators or something with some decent story (i bet she'd love horizon zero dawn, one of my brothers was all in on dinosaurs) but she's just playing bejeweled now.
I'm sad I could never convince my mom to keep gaming beyond the arcade games of her youth and bejeweled and the like. I sincerely think she would have loved roguelites. My father never was a gamer but did try golf games, and I tried to convince him to try strategy games but never did, I still think he'd love 4xes
the one game i've found most everyone enjoys is stardew valley, but i have not tried with my mother yet.
I'm a late millennial and I grew up with N64 and GameCube. I thought my cousin's SNES was cool and retro.
I saw a Sega Genesis at my uncle's house once and felt like I was rediscovering the secrets of the ancestors
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
