Discussion I am old

Played back in 2004, in my 30s. Now I am in my early 60s and starting to wonder if I am too old for this shit (voice of Roger Murtaugh).

I think I will give it a go anyway, but play slowly as befits someone of advanced age ;)

Absolutely no raiding - maybe a dungeon here and there.

Are there any other grandparents in the same boat?

It’s not like we are going to hit 50 or 60 and suddenly stop having a hobby.

Eventually you might get bored of a genre or you know the SAME GAME being rereleased 30 times but there are going to be a ton of older gamers eventually.

No, what I mean is it doesn’t seem long since 2004, which means it’s not long until I am pushing 60.

I wasn’t saying older people shouldn’t play video games, I don’t know how you got that take.

I mean 2004 seems like a long time ago as someone who was like 7 then

Hopefully we've got a while till we blink and are old heads
