The only zoomers I know play Fortnite/Roblox/Minecraft. They're not interested in a game if nobody streams it, and they want to craft shit.

As a zoomer I can confirm that portion of us that play games beyond the mainstream FIFA/COD. The type of people who have steam accounts, bring gaming laptops to school, will certainly be familiar with Skyrim if no other RPGS
There was not a single one of these people in my highschool, other than the very small weeb crowd who would play smash bros but they were an isolated tribe of fags
My school had that isolated library colony of smash bros fags also

My impression is that most of the zoomers in their early 20s have played Skyrim or know a fair amount about it via. meme/gamer culture. No metrics/data as you said, just my impression. I see people on youtube or whatever talk about it and they'll be younger than me (29).
Yup, unfortunately no demographics information, that's something I'd be very interested in. The only talk of Skyrim I've seen is online which leads me to believe talking to people irl leads to a more social/multiplayer bias in terms of gaming.

Either way, I still maintain millennials are still the largest demographic by far purchasing these shit games, on top of "definitive editions", merchandise, etc. Geek culture + old enough to have more disposable income compared to zoomers seems to me they're the harbingers of decline.
"Millennials are harbingers of decline"...This stings because it is true. I really, truly despise my generation. I despised them even as a lad with their unrefined, putrid tastes. They are also the reason for the faggy (double entendre) political sphere we have now. Truly a despicable, tasteless lot. Look no further than the case study of Shadow of Rome (2005), a hidden gem from Capcom. A sequel was being made, but it did not sell well, so the bare combat mechanics in Shadow of Rome became Dead Rising. Still a great game, but my faggot ass peers had no appreciation for the majesty of an ancient Roman setting. Yet the second a brainless (pun unintended) setting like DUDE ZOMBIES IN A MALL!!! is in a game, it outsells everything and has 3 sequels. Allow me to point to Maximo: Ghost to Glory and Maximo: Army of Zin as well. These games are excellent. A third game was being made but was cancelled because 2 did not sell well.

I cannot allow myself to think on these things, because they, if dwelt on, will produce unbridled apoplectic rage within me. The uncultured tasteless hack syndrome that is synonymous with wretched millennial fags applies to both the soy fruitcakes and jungle-music-loving wiggerboys alike. This syndrome applies to how they view music, politics, religion, and the world. White kids in my school bought console shooter games, and enjoyed them the most, and pretended to act black because of hip hop in equal measure. They are equally led astray by vague political notions. I cannot think of a more uncultured, unthinking mass in human history. Do they even have instincts? Yet I still love these spineless, idiotic, clueless oafs because they share a certain camaraderie with me being of the same generation. I also must love my fellow man, and do. Yet, let the Roman patrician disdain of plebs be vindicated, because they are in our midst without number. We must rip people out of Plato's cave one-by-one. Even if that cave is full of funko pops.

If it's any consolation, zoomers have millennials beat on this
Please...No...It is a kind of consolation. But still: :decline:
Considering how bad this generation is , it's really a feat millennials are still worse. No need to cope and ignore this fact.
I thought Millennials are worse because of the larger amount of wiggerboys/soifags per capita. You mean zoomers have more of both camps, and are STILL better?

In terms of RPG decline, millennials are worse. That's what I'm saying. The factors which contribute to that I've said previously in the thread.

I never understood why anyone would even bother trying to do Morrowind in either oblivion or skyrim. No medium armor, no spears (or even animations for them), no alchemy. Skyrim itself doesn't even have spell crafting. The enchanting in both games was much more limited than in Morrowind too.

Could not even use multiple threads/cores, unfixable z-fighting, etc. Compiled without optimisation flags. It's one of the worst engines in gaming history.

They have added spears in Skywind according to the latest video I posted. This F.A.Q. provided good information on how they work with the differences between Morrowind and Skyrim.
Im definitely keen to play this game but based on the FAQ final and completed release seems ages away? It worries me they dont want to commit to how far they are

ps in the future Morrowind will be synonymous with Skywind
Nah, with Tamriel Rebuilt.
nope, sorry, the time to try salvage TR and start developing it for Skywind was yesterday

if they don't, Skywind will earn the unfortunate fame of killing Tamriel Rebuilt
TR has produced actually playable and original content. And a lot of it. Most of it is quite decent.
Skywind will be morrowind with shittier systems and marginally prettier than modded morrowind.

Isn't Skywind meant to be a different game? I thought it had a bunch of original quests and characters and shit, rather than just replicating the MW ones like Morroblivion did. Like the main draw of this game was going to be that we were free from the mind-numbing bullshit of the original MW guild quests, please tell me it's true.

I don't know too much about the topic, but I think both Skywind and Skyblivion are meant to be more or less straight remakes, you'd have various fixes and changes, but within the broad strokes of their originals. The Beyond Skyrim project is a separate gig that wants to recreate all the other Tamriel provinces on Skyrim's platform and in its timeline.

TR is not even the tip of the iceberg

TR, OpenMW, TES3MP, P:C, S:HotN, BCOM, OAAB, Lua x2 (and continued work on MCP/MGE XE)

Of course this is like reading Chinese for normie

Please ignore this noob, only a completely dumb person can write such nonsense...
