do you ever feel severely out of touch with the younger gaming audience?

I feel out of touch with most audiences in general.

No, on the contrary I've found myself playing more of their games in the last year. They have good taste in horror and Roblox.

as much awful baggage as it has associated with it, roblox is practically the only major platform for user-generated content in 2025
source games are pretty much dead so you aren't getting an experience like that there anymore

i just think the world is very gay and pussy
so the kids are gay and pussy
and i dont want to bend the knee and be gay and pussy so i just refuse to understand any of it or why they like it

thats what it means to be old except this time the gayness is literal

depends. i feel out of touch with the blast havers in killing floor 3 for example. i dont understand wanting to support bad dev practices just because you have "have a blast" for a couple of hours

I haven't felt in-touch with mainstream culture or audiences since the mid-2010s. I feel like the last one left behind after an invasion of the pod people. I don't understand what suddenly made everyone change so suddenly.

I don't even have the slightest clue what they play. There's Roblox, but that's just a platform to host games, I don't know what Roblox games they play.
Guess that's what happens when my only online interactions are on 4chan.

The current trend is a Roblox game called 99 Nights in the Forest where you fight to keep a campfire alive while a wendigo attacks you. That's just the current trend, as far as staples go Poppy Playtime is their cultural touchstone.

Couldn't be more so, it's omnipresent in everything they consume. Chapter releases are big events for them and they love the characters.

that's literally it, roblox and fortnite
an entire discourse is happening right now because of the pedo stuff in roblox and now roblox players are whining that they nowhere else to go if the platform were to actually disappear

I spend too much time with 19 year old nerd girls and all of them are weird gamers by proxy that spend all day watching dark souls lore but don't play video games themselves unless its VNs or Persona. Covid must have really fucked up the zoomers or something for these nerds to be this prevalent

I feel like gen alpha gamers are quite content in their own world whereas AAA studios are squarely targeting me as a zoomer and I couldn't be less interested in their dogshit offerings judging by the showing at Gamescom.

If it's just Roblox and Fortnite, then I guess I could be more out of touch than I am. Used to play Fortnite duos with a mate and I even played a bit of Roblox, there was this one game that I played where you chopped trees to sell the wood to get stronger equipment to chop more and better trees.

Once generations born after 9/11 become the target demographic the industry is going to die, no exaggeration.

I wish Roblox was when it was back in 2009 but right now it has some the best fucking user made games that rival indies. It's basically a lua playground and I remember seeing someone made a sonic 3D with multiplayer and port doom to it. hidden kino all over

My favorite game right now is a Roblox fps called Big Paintball 2. Extremely fast paced, instant respawn and high running speed for everyone. I was genuinely shocked how much more fun it was compared to all the AAA shooters on the market right now.

Yeah, mostly from how popular mobile gaming is, I didn't realize full games like CoD, PUBG, Genshin, etc were printing money on mobile rather than their normal console/PC fork.

Why does it matter? I don't play any social vidya anyways. I even mostly just use /v/ to find niche indie games - don't think I would've heard of Rift Wizard or Tactical Nexus if it weren't for this place.

there's an hour or so long stream of the first test, 2nd test the streamer got canned before he got out of the tutorial. there was a "private" server where users shared clips and such.

I have this 23 yo male coworker, I'm 36.
We play switch on breaks, he studies game design and works in pharma now.

He's a nice guy, but its really weird to me how, even a game design dude, doesnt know shit about games in a general sense.
"Have you heard? Nintendo will brick the wii next year"
What. No? Wtf.
Or total lack of knowledge if pc parts even if he's mostly on pc.

Strange

I'm in my mid-twenties and it baffles me how there's people my age who are terrified of driving or just don't know how to. Everyone uses uber or has someone older give them a lift.

there was a few people sharing clips and talking about it in the /v/ threads if you wanna look in the archives.
there's also the resetera thread where they go over datamines and stuff like that which hints at greater UGC stuff if you cant stand them
and there is apparently a 60gb file of archived footage too on the internet archive but i haven't checked that myself because im not downloading all that for a game that might come out whenever

I don't think a lot of people these days care about what happens behind a game devolopment or the process of it. I remember that 100% CTR gave you access to extras of the team behind the game and other stuff that was intresting to see.
