Mobile games don’t count. Stop taking those into account and it’s like 45% millennial, 30% Gen Z, 20% Gen X and 5% Boomers



I didn't think of that.

Frequency of smart phone usage for mobile games

The data is for - "Share of adults in the United States who play games on a smartphone or tablet once a week or more as of March 2024, by age group"

18-34 - 68%
35-54 - 66%
55+ - 37%

That is insane to me. I'm a gamer but don't play mobile games. This stuff is fascinating. Got my reading material for the toilet this week!

Discord only gets your age. That’s it. Your identity is never associated with your account.


Based on the ID leaks discord had a few months ago, we know this is a demonstrable lie. So it kind of calls into question everything else in their statement they made. I think they are desperate from all the negative backlash and the nitro cancellations.

Sure there are MORE gaming parents than the 90s but MOST gamers still don’t have kids. Both can be true.

Also in the 90s it was very difficult to get links to full length on demand porn through the nonexistent online gaming or super simple chat rooms. Kids weren’t being groomed and targeting creeps from all over the world.

No system is going to stop everything but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t build in controls to prevent and detect known issues.

So am I still able to host my own voice server for game chat with my friends or do I need to give them my ID?

That’s all I care about.

Time to fire up the teamspeak servers.

I'd bet those with kids are not letting those kids use discord
