The youngest boomers were born in 1964, so they’d be in thier late 20s at the end of the 80’s. Which were my parents.

I also dont think there’s anything wrong with exposing your kids to older media, which was my point. Your kids will seek out new media without you, so giving them a foundation of things that came before helps expand thier knowledge base.

You’re confusing Gen X and the boomers. Boomers were ~1948-64, making the youngest boomers 61 today.

like 90% of my active games library is 2009 or older. that’s not to say i don’t give modern games a shot. they just don’t stick around like the old ones do most of the time. exceptions are, like, Path of Exile 2; which for all intents and purposes plays like a game designed prior to 2009 🤣

so yeah, my kids definitely prefer the older stuff too. plus, i mean, what kid doesn’t play the shit out of minecraft or roblox today anyway?
