   How the hell is a PSP "Early Zoomer" ... like they were 5 years old and got an obsolete hand-me-down by a sibling?

     @djsumdog @coolboymew I would be in early zoomer and I grew up with GBA, though I mostly played the GB and GBC games my brother had since it was backwards-compatible.

     @djsumdog @coolboymew For me, PC was mostly for Sim and Tycoon games.

     I never had any consoles growing up, just computers .. but at my friends I played NES/SNES/Gensis. PS1 was like high school era. Post University I was hacking old PSPs ... I guess they were older than I thought ... I borrowed a co-worker/intern's PS2 in exchange for doing homework for him (he was dropping out of Computer Science and needed help saving this GPA. I was a poor grad student). The first console I actually owned (before the PSP) was a Wii.

     @djsumdog @coolboymew As for home consoles, I many had those cheap Plug-n-Play systems. I had a Namco and Spongebob one.

     @djsumdog @coolboymew same is true with the DS tbh since it released early partially overlapping and making the GBAs life shorter (it released in like 2001 and the original 'fat DS' came out in 2004). The handhelds in general overlap on the generational boundary (which in reality is an arbitrary thing made up by marking people if you think about it).
