what are you looking forward to most?

Mostly more story and content in the Cyberpunk universe. Haven’t really looked at anything regarding the new content, I want it to be a surprise as much as possible.

Will you be playing on release?

Probably not. I don’t game a lot these days, so I’ll probably wait until I have some time to completely immerse myself into it for a couple of days.

A lot of us older Millennials still grew up playing these games as they came out.

Of course. Especially the ones that came after Doom I guess. I listened to a lot of older music at the time too (like 80s new wave or 70s hard rock and punk), but that doesn’t make it “GenX” music.

But you’re right, they are thoroughly a product of '90s Gen-X culture.

Yeah, Doom, Quake, Duke et al are like ‘90s GenX culture personified for me. Millennials’ era (and this is sort of in the name) is ca. 2000 and afterwards, and gaming had already shifted to something else by quite a bit by then.

Somehow I had 1991 in my mind for Doom’s release date, but it’s 1993. That’s my mistake.

In any case, if you were 13 when Doom came out, you were born in 1980 or 1979, so you’re still not a millennial, but GenX. The cut-off point for millennials is usually put around 1981-1982.

Even so, Doom’s target audience at the time, with all the satanic and gore content, was most definitely not 13 year olds although it’s possible you played it on your Boomer or GenX dad’s PC of course.

I’m a GenX-er from 1975 by the way, so I was “there” when all this happened.

Millennials? No way. The oldest millennials were 11 when Doom came out.

It is most definitely a Gen X game. It has all the hallmarks of mid 90s GenX culture: unapologetically rebellious, anti-establishment, edgy and violent. The developers are also all oldish GenX-ers (Adrian Carmack, John Carmack, John Romero, Dave Taylor) or young Boomers (Sandy Petersen and Tom Hall)

For me it’s simple: no sync, no reddit.

I’m never going to use their app.
