45 in August and still get carded regularly

Same, it's so silly.

 

[Sticks]

Same age as Rihanna

 

[lughnasadh123]

54 which made me audibly gasp after having to think for a moment. That explains all the grey.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Same age as Dragon Ball Z

 

[Decal4]

I am 525 months old.
And reading your posts, this place feels like retirement home for gamers, lol.
My grandfather was 60 in the late 90s and he wouldn't understand one hundredth of what we discuss here every day. How times and people have changed so fast.

I think a lot of forums are retirement homes for X, airliners.net, here on neogaf, newgrounds (trying hard to be relevant!), gamefaqs, survivalist boards, but like another poster said, venturing out of the web walled garden top 10 sites at all is now a mark of oldness

 

[Windle Poons]

Fifty-ish.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Hell I'm still dressed today the same as when I was 14, baseball cap, t-shirt, running shoes and Adidas track pants

Same here. When in street clothes I basically dress like I'm still 18-19. Today at the office I have on my usual jeans, black chuck taylor's and an old rage against the machine t shirt

Perpetually stuck in the 90's

 

[Dacvak]

Oh god, look out Topher this thread is a trap!

I hit level 54 in September and I know exactly how you feel.

 

[RCX]

45 as well bro. I love gaming more now than I did when I was a kid because now I have less time for it and appreciate it all the more when I have the chance to sink my teeth into it.

Fuck these whippersnappers with their Fortnite and friendslop

 

[Gp1]

(40)

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

Mid 40s, won't be more precise than that

Still one kid in the house, another is out on her own. Will be weird in ~5 years when it's just the wife and I... then I'll finally feel old.

 

[Sardaukarama]

51 an a bit with the mentality,humour and exuberance of a schoolboy (Well I think so !)

 

[Idleyes]

52 year old man-child. I look forward to my 60's where I heard you can get away with a lot of shit if you act clueless.

 

[walter568]

52, time flies.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Be extremely unhappy and have no routines. Scientifically proven to extend subjective time!

Or just sleep less. I can personally attest to it working. It does have its downsides though.

 

[Mattdaddy]

42, honestly not sure what the hell happened.

Feel like there had to be a mistake on my birth certificate or something. I feel like I was college yesterday lol.

I joined this forum in my 20s, wild.

 

[Topher]

Oh god, look out Topher this thread is a trap!

 

[kpopSuperstar]

Be extremely unhappy and have no routines. Scientifically proven to extend subjective time!

The science says that big events as a kid are felt stronger, which creates the feeling that your teens and 20s were longer than they were.

And in your 30s and onward, you go years with few things that leave a mark and it feels like you can barely remember what happened last year.

As far as I can gather, it's about having goals that make life purposeful and you feel progression and goals coming to pass.

It's just that when job and kids take up your time, people don't have enough drive and discipline to make the little time you have useful.

So what I have to do, and most people post 35, is put a stake in the ground and commit to something a little each day, to work on something for a few years and reap what you sow, that hopefully feels important and meaningful in your life.

Internet and games occupy that time for me though, like for most. You just gotta find that thing that you feel for strongly enough to pull you out of it. But finding that conviction eludes the best of us.

gaf - the retirement home for gamers not on facebook

i'm in good company

 

[PlayStaytion]

37 right after E3 next month

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.

Is it stress and insecurity? cause I'm almost 37 and I'm past that point not less than 5 years and no more than 10 years ago. I could be wrong but life started to make sense when I made it all about myself, not gonna lie, I've made a lot of people angry since I started becoming selfish but down the road it's not a big deal to be socialist.

 

[DeVeAn]

42/M/USA lol

 

[Machine]

Born 1965 whatever that makes me

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

42/M/USA lol

zoomers think ASL means 'american sign language'

 

[Bartski]

Hell I'm still dressed today the same as when I was 14, baseball cap, t-shirt, running shoes and Adidas track pants

lol same. Most of my casual clothes are from this local brand targeting teens 13-18, caps, cargos and hoodies. I have siblings in early twenties and a 30 y/o fiancee, and they all keep taking the piss out of me looking like a literal manchild retard.

Best of all I have to wear super formal to work, but sometimes bump into my staff on weekends now and then, they either don't recognize me or it's a one big what the fuck

 

[Topher]

I'm 60 years young. Probably a child compared to Topher.

Turned 58 earlier this month.

Don't feel it in my head though.
I feel 32ish

EDIT: Nice new avatar pic there pretty boy

My new favorite GAFers

I'm a young and spry 55. A mere babe to you old relics

 

[Burning Blade]

Born in the great year of 1980, I am 45. I still act like an idiot though, as needed. That keeps one young I'd like to think.

 

[Warnen]

48 this year

 

[Quasicat]

I'm almost 50 and I'm dreading the prostate exam my doctor told me comes at that age.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

48 this year

Ditto brother

 

[TintoConCasera]

35 next month.

Chicks usually say I look younger than 30.

I never know how old I am.

Same lmao, sometimes I have to pull out the calculator, but that only works when I haven't forgotten the current year which also happens often.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

A forum of people going for retirement, and yet we fight daily about missing frames, bad textures, and plastic boxes.

I guess this is what retirement home really feels like - just like kindergarten, but with grey beards and enlarged prostates.

 

[kpopSuperstar]

Maybe it's better to just hide behind our online personas and stop talking about fucking prostrates and life before the internet. This is getting depressing.

 

[Kacho]

43. I was 28 when I signed up here. Time flies.

 

[John Marston]

lol same. Most of my casual clothes are from this local brand targeting teens 13-18, caps, cargos and hoodies. I have siblings in early twenties and a 30 y/o fiancee, and they all keep taking the piss out of me looking like a literal manchild retard.

What matters is your comfort.

I also learned long ago not to care what other people think about me.
I think you're that way too

 

[rm082e]

46, but feel 26 other than a few sore joints.

 

[poodaddy]

Basically 40, so I still feel young mentally but physically less so. Still though, I'm keeping it together and I'm fitter than ever.

 

[clarky]

In my 50's. My thumbs still work, just.

 

[mopspear]

Early 30's

And 12 inches

12 inches wide, four inches long. Like a cheese wheel!

 

[ShirAhava]

TNG first aired fall 1987.....With the ancient Trekkie prophecy fulfilled I naturally came into being at the same time

 

[AJUMP23]

I was born closer to ww2 than today.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

 

[WoJ]

I'm 44. I honestly feel closer to 50. In the last year or so I feel like I got a lot older. I would have said I felt like I was 30-35 until the last six months. These days I just want to sleep, play my backlog, and retire.

 

[Topher]

46, but feel 26 other than a few sore joints.

Physically, I feel like I'm 40 still. Mentally......let's just say I think maturity is highly overrated.
