Why would you want to?

Lol, that's a good question. I wouldn't really, unless by some miracle, I'd be relatively healthy and functional.

 

[Happosai]

i feel like this poll is a bit inaccurate. Folks are over 90 years old on here. Nah uh quit playin'

Well...I'm actually close to 400-years old. Choosing 90 made me feel young.

But seriously, I'm headed for my 40's and I don't feel our age will change our interests. If gaming is a core value to an individual that won't change. I know many who are gaming well into their 60's now.

Why would you want to?

Because you get to hit people with a stick and nobody can complain. As long as youve kept yourself healthy through your life it's not bad. Oh and the drugs they have these days are pretty good. Can't remember anything anyway.

 

[Humdinger]

78% (4 out of 5) are in their 40s.

edit: Probably more like 85%, once you take out the 90s.

 

[Humdinger]

13% in the 50s.

adjacent question for the 40+ gamers here: Do you find yourself getting more or less horny as you age? I'm nearly 36 and it just seems like theres no upper limit on it.

Oh, less. I'm 60 now, and my sex drive is much lower than it when I was in my 30s or 40s. If you're 36, you're still too young to have felt the decline. Give it 10 or 20 years. I first noticed it around 50.

43 here, first game I remember playing was Oh Mummy on the Amstrad C64.

I was trying to get Ghostwire Tokyo for really cheap, but no such luck. I can get the standard edition for $27.
Upgrading it to deluxe is $20 more, which is kinda crappy.

 

[Krathoon]

It seems like Sonic Colors Ultimate is still buggy. Might as well play the Wii version.
They also screwed up the intro song. Sigh. Sega.

 

[Krathoon]

Really, they need to make a video game version of the Castle Ravenloft board game.

 

[Krathoon]

Some jackass stole my Doordash order.
Since I rent, I can't really put up a security camera.

I think it was the delivery person themselves. They took a picture of the order so they would have an alibi.
They did not knock. That is suspicious.

I had this weird training with the folks from Google today. Apparently, you are rewarded bonus points in the labs for going through them as fast as possible instead of actually taking your time and learning them.

I'm 50, just went from PS4 to my first Xbox series x. I hope to get a decent gaming computer at some point. I play a good bit of steam on my laptop. I'm about to try out Deep Rock Galactic on Game Pass. If any fellow geezers are playing this or any other co-op games on Xbox, my gamertag is Hogan1776
I'm curious if anyone is still playing the old Battlefield games. I'm just happy to still be gaming these days. Although, just like many of you, my business takes priority.

 

[Humdinger]

Glad to see the votes still coming in.

Looks like we have 2 people in their 70s, 5 people in their 60s, 49 in their 50s, and 292 in their 40s. I'm assuming at least 27 of the 28 90-year-olds are fake, but one might be real. Otherwise, our oldest member is in their late 70s.

Press play. Close your eyes. You're back in 1982 at the arcades

I'm old enough to have seen all my childhood favorite franchises burn to the ground.

Kind of depressing and hilarious at the same time.

On the bright side, it's nice to look at things completely devoid of any emotional attachments. All these dead to me franchises from big publishers have opened up room for a lot of wonderful mid tier games that are seemingly picking up the ball that the big publishers dropped.

For me, my cherished childhood franchises are as follows

Street Fighter (Dead now, I didn't play 5 and 6 is looking uninspiring)
Mario (There's life in the old dog yet but Odyssey was disappointing)
Zelda (Again I've not given up hope but BOTW was a zelda Light, didn't really have much zelda left in it)
Resident Evil (Dead, FPS is not resident evil)
Metroid (No idea what's happening with this, hopeful that Prime 4 is a banger)
