Turning 40 in two months! Where my going grey bush gamers at? I got over 600 games in Steam alone and play like 10 of them! Who else?
Haha bundles will be the death of me
Mah untouched steam library growns like my back!
I mean this purely as an observation, but: almost certainly literal child detected
I’m in my mid 30s, and the people in my extended social circle around my age that don’t fire up a game at least once or twice a week are few and far between, even including the harried, busy, regular not-yet-grand parents, haha
Quick edit: imo, the ones not playing video games at my age (again, in my area) are generally the ones who seem the least like they have their shit together. It’s weird but it’s a thing I’ve noticed
I mean, if they are 30 and haven’t adapted to how society is yet, its not surprising they havent got their shit together. We grew up alongside modern tech growing up, if you’ve been avoiding technology till now, its exceedingly hard to function in our current society
I grew up playing video games in the 80’s - of course I still play video games even though I turned 50 this year.
I swear the younger generations forget gaming has been around for a LONG time long before they were born, also that people don’t change what they enjoy doing just because they get older……
in the '80s*
My kid started playing Minecraft so naturally I joined her. Her imagination amazes me, I wish I could be as creative as she is.
50+. Play every chance I get. Don’t know why it would be surprising, other than Lemmy being an echo chamber of tech-minded younger people who forget my generation started out gaming with Atari and the like.
It really feels like everyone is 8-12 in here sometimes…
I’ve got unplayed games older than you!
if 30s is grandpa then what the fuck am I.
My back and knees hurt just thinking about this.
Worm food?
Can confirm, am 44 and worm food. Lower back but no knee trouble, yet. Some ankle trouble from an injury at 33, my grandpa years.
for some reason people around 30 years old always call themselves old lol
Yall GOTTA stop pretending 30 is old
ive only been an adult on my own for like 5 years, relax
I’m 38 and I’m extremely anxious about what to expect from adulthood in two years.
Same. I’m 35 and I’ve only been independent for 5 years as well. This is the new norm. Adulting is expensive. 30 isn’t old; you’re just starting your life.
exactly
i got married last year
im literally a level 1 husband.
Im a level 32 human but only a level 6 Adult, really. I moved out at 22 but spent the first 3 years partying and barely making rent
I think 25 was the year i started actually trying to do a good job at life, so im still pretty new at it
As I said in another thread, I’m 37, I’m not old, I’m lower middle age. I make noise sitting down but I don’t make noise putting my feet up yet.
Damn! Ease off on the aging there, gramps. I’m 50 and I can still touch my toes without groaning! The only “old person noises” I make are exclusively of the “get off my lawn you whippersnapper” type. ;-P
(And I’ve been gaming since Pong)
meh i don’t have s future worth staying young for. my main goal is to die relatively quickly instead of rotting alive for years like my grandparents did.
my first video game was Freddy’s Rescue Roundup on MS-DOS. It was a bit like Lode Runner.
I’ll be 37 soon, I was doing well untill my motorcycle accident. Even in full gear a lot of stuff broke that shit aged me fast. That being said my best friend is 22 and I can still beat his ass at most games.
I turned 37 recently, and fortunately both of my motorcycle accidents were relatively minor lowsides at ~20mph so I think most of me is 37 and my right knee is 41 years old.
Some lady on a phone basically ran me off the road and fled the scene. 4 ribs broken, fractured scapula, and a partial lung collapse along with soft tissue damage all on the right side. Oh and my left thumb broke and needed surgery. Kept the helmet though, did it’s job admirably.
Oof, every piece of that is a deep level of suck. I’m sorry that happened to you. Except for the helmet keeping your brains in, that’s a good thing.
I don’t know anyone my cohort who doesn’t.
I’m currently playing Borderlands with my friend in the UK every Monday morning. In the past we have played borderlands 2, borderlands 3, tiny Tina’s wonderland, Diablo 4, Grim Dawn, city off Heroes and many more.
I’ve been playing video games for probably around 46 years. Let’s just say they’ve changed a little in that time.
44 and I have clocked about 40 hours in Final Fantasy XIV this week. When I get home from work, it’s game time.
Over 30. New Path of Exile league this weekend-- 12 hours Sat/Sun because I can’t do all day gaming anymore, what with being ancient and all.
30s are not old, just more magical powered!! The 20s need submissed!!
Look, it’s a cheaper hobby than drinking, or outfitting my vehicle. I don’t have the time to retreat to a fishing hole and there’s no hunting nearby.
Yes I play video game, geez.
Turning 50 this year. Still balling. Love a drink when I play. The combo remains cheaper than going to dinner
People act like video games are some niche hobby, while it’s a bigger industry than movies and music combined. And it’s not even close.
Yeah it was bonkers learning that video games are no longer niche and are now cool
They’re definitely not niche, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
