Anytime someone starts dropping Warhammer lore, or shows a love of Boomer Shooters, I know I'm going to despise that person or they'll be my best friend, no middle ground, and I don't even like Warhammer.

Both the best and worst people I have ever met were Warhammer fans. The best guy keeps trying to get us to play 40k or Dark Sun. He's just a really good dude though.

What's wrong with boomer shooters?? The whole genre was founded on killing nazis

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 19 hours ago

It was.

I personally love Boomer Shooters.

The problem isn't the games themselves they're great and Civvie 11 is my favorite youtuber.

It's the "Wahhh I hate Star Wars because women and newer Wolfenstein because you kill Nazis" crowd

Tell that to the nazi enjoyers

I hear Nazis enjoy breathing too! Whelp, guess we have to suffocate now!

Yes let's let assholes poison our views of innocuous hobbies. That will show them. /s

We shouldn't reinforce their echo chamber. Better to just do whatever makes you happy and deal with the assholes as they reveal themselves.

What the fuck is wrong with boomer shooters?

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Boomer Shooters themselves are great.

The problem are the people who "Only play games before they got all woke!"

I was killing Nazis on an Apple IIe in the mid 1980s.
