Honestly can't wait to be an old grumpy fart who complains about the noisy kids in the neighborhood while playing videogames and blasting Linkin Park as loud as I can :goog_devil:

You're probably exaggerating but trust me, you don't want it. I've been that guy for years. Luckily I moved and now I live in a nice quiet little town

There's honestly nothing worse than other people effectively deciding when you can sleep and wake up when you really think about it
 
Are any of us UNDER 30? I sometimes think the WacDonalds name for NeoGaf is NeoOldGamers (not that I mind, gbatemp and ResetEra are run by emotionally sensitive teens or so it feels like)
 
Paging Topher Topher

I'm 45 by the way.
Stupid phone auto correct on the topic can a mod fix it?

message a mod and they should be able to correct it for you.

well, the OP did ask for older GAF so that's why.

myself, I'll be 49 soon and the latest trip I took really made me feel my age and realize I need to start working out again.

I don't mind noisy young kids at all, it's noisy teenagers/in-betweeners that annoy me the most. Hanging around street corners spitting and kissing everywhere.

Noisy pets and seagulls as well.

Bloody kids!
Bloody pets!
Bloody birds!

Grumpy old fart, 47 in my prime.💪
 
44. Feeling 30.

My Dad once said on his 56th birthday that he still felt 30 then.
I remember at family gatherings when I was a kid looking at my uncles in their 50's.

All of them wearing suits, playing cards while chain smoking and drinking beer from those stubby bottles 😋

It was a different time in the late 70's early 80's.

Hell I'm still dressed today the same as when I was 14, baseball cap, t-shirt, running shoes and Adidas track pants 😃
 
Birth certificate age? Or age of maturity?

My birth certificate says I am 60. I don't believe it. It also has my middle name wrong. I might be adopted. :messenger_grinning_smiling:
 
When I was 44 I felt 25 (and hung out with lots of people in my 20s, total debauchery).

Now that I'm 47 I feel like I'm 60.

Partied way too hard.
 
33.

The hardest thing about growing older is seeing our parents getting frailer as the years go by.
 
40.

The youth don't care about forums, hence why we skew so old.

Forums was the main hub for things 10-15 years ago, so I guess it's in our blood.

Crosssing 40 is honestly the weirdest of times, everything on the internet is skewed for teenagers, because they are the most active on the internet, so everything is built for them.

It makes you feel so old when most of the content is driven by people 20 years younger. Even though 40 ain't old at all.

When I was 18, I thought of 30 as ancient, when I was 30, I though 40 was old man territory. Now that I am here, I feel like I won't be properly old until I am in my mid 60s.

I just need to figure out a way to make the years slow down because things are going by way too fast.

It's doubly weird for those of us who grew up with the internet and internet culture in general. Our generation defined the modern internet and now we're basically out-of-touch boomers. It's Gen Z's playground now with Gen Alpha arriving daily.
