Boomer shooters never get played by boomers, what a shame

Seriously tho a boomer shooter would be like maze war not DOOM, by the time this genre of games was created (by GenXers) and played by Millenials, they were becoming geriatric but whatever

As a Gen-Xer who used to twitch with the best of the younguns, I can vouch that we're playing a lot fewer games that require reflexes that can't be made up for with strategy and treachery (e.g. exploits).

Mostly I play dad games like Satisfactory or Subnautica but do pretty well for my crew in Deep Rock Galactic

If a boomer shooter is a classic run-and-gun shooter (contrast: tactical shooters or first-person survival) I'd still do fine unless its bullet hell or something. Serious Sam had the tendency to teleport in dozens of shooters on a plain with no cover, or send me into a dark place teeming with climbing ninja monkeys.
