My only exposure to command and conquer was that my bio dad played it when I was over at his house on weekends while he ignored me. And I think around that time I was more into RuneScape.
Roblox is significantly older than Minecraft (2006 vs. 2009/2011 depending on where you start counting) so the optimistic part of me thinks people won't talk about Roblox like that.
Lemmy often assumes the worst about comments. I think people interpreted* your comment as "can you imagine this woman I know enjoys this kiddy game?!". While you really meant, I think, "some adults like to play Fortnite, too, actually".
I join my boomer squad nearly every night. I'm the youngest at age 43.
We win 1 in every 4 games, so that's not awful. Depending on the mood we w-key or we just have fun and giggles.
It is a very well made game with fun mechanics and plenty of content.

Sheepishly holds up hand
Surely, you mean Warcraft 2 and Red Alert, right? Right?
Geometrinen_Gepardi@sopuli.xyz · 14 pts · 2y
Diablo 2 too, seems like it was just yesterday.

What's Red Alert? Should I know this? I'm 31 and all I have ever played is Minecraft. Lol.

Did you only start gaming in your late teens?
NegativeInf@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y
Nope. Played mostly Nintendo games, like Ocarina, MM, pokemon, and smash. Then the alpha builds of Minecraft in 2009. Guess I'm a filthy casual. 🤷♂️

You're fine :)
It's just weird to me I guess, someone in my age group who doesn't know the CNC games.

If for nothing else, the soundtracks and Tim Curry's / George Takai's performances in Red Alert 2

Best way to catch up on the entire lore behind that character.

Maybe I’m just old, but those all seem like kid games to me.

I think that's part of the joke.

Those who grew up with Terraria and Minecraft in their golden era are young adults.
So I'd say you're not a young adult at least, wouldn't say you're old though.

Right now I'm playing modded Minecraft while waiting for Terraria 1.4.5
colderr@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Pretty much the same. Can't wait for Terraria 1.4.5
germtm_@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
i also, coincidentally, am waiting for Terraria 1.4.5 by playing Minecraft. specifically Better than Adventure.

Conversations about Morrowind: “aww you’re sweet”
Conversations about any other game: “hello, human resources?!?”

I met a grown adult the other week that told me she liked playing Fortnite
NoisyFlake@lemm.ee · 23 pts · 2y
So what? I'm not a fan of Fortnite as well, but let people enjoy what they want.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 2y
Right, so why downvote me and not this insipid image macro?
NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz · 5 pts · 2y
Why not both?
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Because I'm not mocking people for enjoying things?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Game is game. Play whatever brings you joy. Except FIFA, of course.
