    >complain about ageism in the video game industry
    >"are the zoomers wrong, or am i?"
    actually it IS the zoomers. they're all ADHD and just want to watch some twitchhomosexual say their name on stream more than play a video game themself.

    This is a thing in every industry not just videogames you start to get discriminated and passed over for jobs once you hit 50+.

      at 50+ you should have a massive portfolio and be so respected in the industry that you literally shit on everyone younger than you when it comes to employment. If you haven't managed that then maybe it's time to give up before you waste the rest of your life. Maybe start making indie games or something.

        This idea of age = achievement only works in a world where people have 1 career their entire life. I had three fricking careers so far at 34, not out of choice, my jobs just kept fricking disappearing due to automation

    His video about fallout 2 is the best. Brian Fargo is a huge piece of shit and he's why fallout 2 has so much awful shit in it.

    Or maybe he just hasn't made anything in 30 years and has no ideas.

    How many people actually get into the Industry later in life? Most of them start out when they’re relatively young and stay there.

      Not many. Timmy is right that Ageism is a thing. But ultimately I think it's time for the 60+ to retire and move aside. There are literal 40-45 year olds that can't buy a house and 39 and under that understand they'll NEVER catch a whiff of owning a home simply because Timmy's age group (58, but close to 60) are still in higher level positions instead of enjoying retirement.

    Damn Cain didn't catch the memo that you call anybody older than you a boomer, not literally just the boomer generation.

    I like his videos, they're comfy.

    GTA 4 protagonist was 45 years old
    RDR 2 protagonist was 36 years old
    GTA 5 protagonists are older
    Halo master chief is 50
    Skyrim and Fallout protagonists are middle aged
    TW3 Geralt is 98 and canonically deformed ugly unnatural
    I'm sure there's more but if you pick the most popular series this is wrong

    Moving onto the most popular characters not just the protagonists you see even older characters.
    CoD Captain Price is 50-60yo
    TF2 cast is 20-60yo
    HL GMAN is a creepy ageless alien 60-70yo

    You're not going to see old characters in popular asian media because they're just weird and boring like that. Everywhere else you see old characters who are very popular among communities regularly and usually they're the favorites in the most popular games out there

      In Fallout 3 you're canonically 18.

    i dunno aren't old dudes just really slow and entitled? the old dudes i've seen in workplaces have all been slow ass old elitist wienersuckers who have demanded a frick-ton of money for their work while moving at the pace of a turtle and have had zero sympathy for the plight of their younger co-workers. they've just snorted and said we'll they're young, so let them be poor and work hard, i've earned my rest and big moolah.

    He's such a disgusting homosexual.
    Emboldened by the sickness of society, he should only talk about video games, not about his filthy sexual fetishes. They are irrelevant to video games.
