They should have been forced to do it the other way. “You advertise as free, so you have to provide this for free.”

You started by asking the definition of boomer shooter, which I responded to. Then you added the fact Doom 3 came out in 2005. Since your context was, “what’s the definition of a boomer shooter.” I responded to that.

Maybe next time frame your question better to get the information you’re looking for?

A game is called a boomer shooter based on several criteria. Usually they’re first person. Does that mean a third person shooter can’t be a “boomer shooter”? No.

Quake III is just one game that boomer shooters are based on. Doom (1993) is a game that boomer shooters are based on too. Neither one is a boomer shooter itself. A Boomer Shooter is a modern creation meant to replicate past play style, video style, and audio style too… It’s more than just “pixelated/voxelated…”

“Active” is an adjective. You intentionally left out the active part (posts, comments). When you consider we’ve existed for less the month and have 45 posts in Boomer Shooter… That’s 1.5 posts per day, our first month in existence. That’s activity. That’s active. Your cynicism not withstanding Team Red has existed for almost two weeks… It’s growing faster than any of the other communities on this board… Because “activity.” Really, if you understand activity and what it looks like and how it scales… We might believe you know what you’re talking about… Might.

This will help you find US based instances if that is what you are after.

Pull up a list of Lemmy instances with 100% uptime. That’s not a big list. Look for a location in the U.S. you find an even smaller list. And if your monolingual and speak English bestest… well, then you’re in the realm of a vary small list indeed.

lemmy.ninja is second on that list for size AND speed of growth. Plus, where else are you going to find communities that teach you how to use the Fediverse to your advantage? Drop by and subscribe to the boomer shooter community… We all know they did it right in lo-fi…

I’m providing a best guess on that. I may be wrong. Who knows maybe it’ll be “xtxt” or xt^2 pronounced “extasy.”

Each one of the graphics in the article is linked to a demo of a boomer shooter with a female protagonist. I even mention a few in the article. I talk about female leads, and then apply them to boomer shooters. I didn’t think it would be that unusual…

Nope, regret to inform you it was written by a human. Was this commented by an AI? Nah, who am I kidding… if an AI wrote the comment, it would have known to capitalize AI…

We whole heartedly support blasphemy!

This definitely gives you one.

Now I know to go back and look for Easter Egg levels. Thanks.

I beat Myst in 19 hours of continuous game play without a guide or the internet. Best? Well, if you intend to beat it, it’ll take a lot of thinking through stories.

This is answered in the comments.

I created a process to remove the bot accounts from my database without crashing my site. I have tested and it looks like all functions are working. If you need help because you suddenly have thousands more accounts than you would suspect ask me for the procedure. I’ll gladly provide it.

I was able to identify bot accounts by looking at creation times. They accounts are grouped by “batches” where the account creation times are within seconds of each other. That’s not typically going to happen with random humans creating accounts.
