Yet another "How old are you?" thread

[zakael19]

Most folks still avidly using forums tend to be Gen X across all the ones i participate in, with a distribution that curves into older and down middle millennial. The younger you get, the more likely Reddit / Discord / etc is to be primary and they fall into the small tail of the forum use curve.

For myself, I was born in 1985,so i'm like a middle millennial/gen Y

I divide the world between those born before the release of Return of the Jedi and those born after.

I was born after D&D but before Star Wars. Elvis was still alive. Jaws, Drew Barrymore, and I are the same age.

That would be 83, right? Funny thing is, half my friends are born in 77-81, half are 86-89. But, we all had pretty similar childhood and grew up in similar way. Latchkey kids, riding bikes or on local school playground playing football till street lights came on, playing pirated games on bootlegged consoles, watching pirated programs on satellite (those who could afford it), walkmans, waiting on radio for song to play and press record and pray that host won't start talking near the end of the song.

You had programs on satellite as a kid?

That's exactly what a person who shot JFK would say

Not to mention, he was shot with a magic bullet and only D&D players have those.
