@matrix zoomers had similar but minecraft. millennials had almost all of the 'technological advancement' in gaming and computing up until recently (ryzen, etc)

@matrix a jump from ps3 to 4 wasn't that impressive either. And ps2 to 3 was late millennials already

@matrix Remember when you could get a lot done in a year and a lot of things could happen?

@matrix Back when you had to upgrade computers, etc, because there was actual technological advancement.

Now you just do it to make some asshole more money.

@matrix I dunno my brother is zoomer and does nothing but play flight simulator and fortnite or watch YouTube videos of other people playing flight simulator or fortnite

I was 1st into games in the 80's. I've seen games evolve from games like Zork, and Pong, to Ultima and Doom, and up.
First machine was an Apple IIe. 128kb of RAM...ya 128kb. And a 1Mhz processor.
I still have that machine. Way back I got it upgraded to an 8Mhz CPU, and 1 MB of RAM.
Been upgrading machines and parts ever since.
Had one of the first 3D video cards, A Voodoo.

But ya, in the last 20 years I've only upgraded machines twice. Last one was in 2020. Meh, it takes a while before games start to get to a point where they won't work, or work well enough that I feel that I need to upgrade. Not like the old days. I went through a lot of upgrades and machines before that. I also go all out when I buy one, so it lasts longer.

I switched to Linux in 2020. No regrets. :)
Only games that don't run are some of the online ones with the crazy anti-cheating. Eg. Fortnight, COD. I don't play those, so I don't care. Everything else runs as well or better than on Windows.
