It always felt obvious to me that it was a metaphor, I didn’t think I’ve met someone who legit believed boomer shooters were boomer games.

Most boomers, I think, were too old by the time video games were exciting and commonplace to start drawing numerous people so it’s fairly rare for a baby boomer to be a gamer.


Maybe the explosions played a role in the term being used like that but I’m fairly confident age is the primary dimension here.

Heck I’ve seen people use “boomer X” to refer to older-meta versions of decks in magic the gathering. Decks which had zombies not explosives.


People in comments are talking the “boomer cRPG” alias way too literally when it’s just a metaphor for “old school” much like we had for years with unreal and older Dooms being dubbed “boomer shooters”.

Yes boomer is used metaphorically to just mean “old” instead of “made in the 50s-60s or made by someone of that generation”.


They have AA off because they recommend upscaling on literally everything. Upscaling sorta acts like AA and they are not used together.





Out of legit curiosity, how many models do you know trained exclusively on public domain data, which are actually useful?


I will be starting MCC Halo 3 soon, BUT I’m getting impression I will have to put a stop at some point.
