I'm very guilty of this. I'm an old man set in my ways. (startrek.website)

Boomers didn't play video games. If you're going to joke with generational slurs at least get the generations right.

Was moreso joking in the way people say "XYZ is my boomer trait," but sure

To be clear I also call it a start button (because that's what it is)

Oh I know. I'm just saying. Calling anything boomer regarding video games doesn't make sense though.

Gen X is the first game generation.
It's cool. I got the joke.

It's a reference to the "30 year old boomer" meme about millennials that act like boomers.
