Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

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.
What's wrong with boomer shooters?? The whole genre was founded on killing nazis
Tell that to the nazi enjoyers
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.
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
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.
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.
