      I am a geriatric millennial (thanks to whoever coined that term btw) and I am also like this.

      Generally millennials born after 1989 would fall into the “younger millennial” catagory.

      The difference between old millennial and young millennial is how much of the 90s you actually remember because you were old enough to form memories, and not just the kind of made up memories you invent from looking back on old photos and trying to imagine the stories your parents told you about your childhood.

        so I’m definitely not a younger millennial. still works for me, though.

      I’m firmly Gen X, but I feel the same. The only PvP system that I ever liked was EvE Online

        that makes more sense the younger you are the more likely you should be to enjoy multiplayer games.

            no. i meant you’re older than me so it makes sense that you don’t really like mp games. the younger you are the more likely you’ll grow up with mp games. i didn’t grow up with them so most of them are pointless to me. i have enjoyed overwatch a lot though in the last 8 years.

              I mean the first online MP game I played was Descent when I was 14. Then Neverwinter Nights when I was 14 or 15? I had been playing multiplayer games against my brothers and friends since I could form memories.

              I don’t think it’s just because of my age, I fundamentally find a lot of the online MP game loops unrewarding, and always have. Co-op MP has always been more my jam. There’s something extremely satisfying about seeing someone try to attack me, and being able to call my friends in as a hammer to just fuck their day entirely, while I just keep mining like nothing is happening.
