Gen X players Thread. Come say Hello

I’m thinking in the woods more like those fire watchers in towers. At least the grizzly bear hug is warm and fuzzy instead of getting blown to bits…hic!

1971 Here , started playing in Vanilla with an alliance nelf hunter, still play that same hunter lol. I have tried other classes but my hunter is always main. I did jump over to horde for a while when i got bored in WOD and played a goblin hunter.

Have the original rare cat from just outside darnassus as my hunter pet still.

My first gaming experiences were on an Amstrad CPC 464 back in the eighties, when it used a cassette tape lol.

The biggest thing aimed at us was MTV and it ruled at that time!

1975 here. Been playing WoW since 2007, although I was a late starter for Shadowlands.

Very first video games were Pac Man and Missile Command on an Atari 400 computer.

Merlin! Man… that’s what really got me good at codebreaker type games, like the chests in Torghast. And a lot of the puzzles in WoW that use this exact 3x3 or similar setup (the Shaman Class Hall puzzle for the toy is basically this, but I think it was 5x5). So easy. compared to this as a kid.

(no idea if it works, the batteries leaked all over the inside of it at some point)

i also had one of these, because we were too poor to have a real “Simon”

i can’t remember what the original box looked like

Were not talking overpopulated bud, were talking normal birth rates.

You know, above replacement levels?

Talk to any economist in the world and they will tell you why having young people coming into the workforce is necessary.

Dungeon diving in the 80s…

They’re called xennials
The “Xennials” are those born on the cusp of when Gen X-ers and Millennials meet, and therefore experienced world events, and especially technology, in unique ways particular to their age.

According to [Pew Research], members of Generation X were born between 1965 and 1980 and Millennials were born between 1981 and 1996. Xennials, though, were born some time between 1977 and 1983.

I’m stuck in between two generations. Old enough to know the gen x childhood and teenage years but young enough to not be gen x. I’m too old school so not liked but my generation. Born in 82
