        Hey, I was born in the early 2000s and Club Penguin was huge when I was a kid! Everyone my age knows about it.

        I was born in the late 1980s, can I know what it is?

        Edit: Looks like a game. Are we assuming everyone in a technology community cares about video games? I’m a programmer but can’t get into video games at all.

          Aren’t you assuming everyone else can’t care about video games because you don’t?

          Why does being a programmer matter? You’re not implying that technology groups should care about programming I hope.

            I’m explaining why I’m a programmer for some context why I’m interested in technology, not to argue that all programmers hate gaming.

            I was replying against the smug “you must’ve been born in the 2000s” comment. I’m arguing that not everyone is into gaming just because this is a technology community, and to maybe drop the attitude because someone isn’t cOoL like them because they were born earlier. 🙄
