to old for computers at 43!

44 mate and being able to escape for an hour or two and play a game is needed for my mental health.

Ill be 56 in March, I have 2 young boys (14 and 11), who love football and I coach both their teams. I play computer games more than I should - I play games with them before they go to bed some nights, then I play my games or watch my shows until about 2am. Up at 7 for work. We also watch TV shows and films together. My wife is 40.

I feel like 25-30, not 55. I love life (apart from Everton )

Not a dig at you mate but people who say this happily watch stuff like Love Island, Married at first sight or whatever Netflix says they should watch. I’ve never understood it

My grandparents liked jigsaws when they were kids, they still liked doing jigsaws when they were in their 80s.

It's the same for Millennials and Gen X (to a lesser extent) with video games,

The reason the 'im too old for computer games' thing exists is because older generations (Early Gen X, Boomers etc) did not have video games in their lives when they were young and thus for a long time it was viewed as a hobby for the youth. Times have changed though, the first people to play video games as kids are now all middle-aged and guess what, a lot of them still like video games.

Started playing WoW recently again and been enjoying it. Now the new Classic Hardcore realms are out I've made a character on that too. Really fun.

Until you get emotionally attached to your character and die.

I'm in a guild called Immortal. That's obviously not going to happen.

Picked up a PS Portal after I found out that cloud streaming is now available on it and very impressed so far, the games feel almost native.

Finally got around to playing Death Stranding, Kojima is mental but there's something bizarrely hypnotic about walking around that beautiful world.

P.S, shut up Matty.

Stalker 2 is one of the most atmospheric games I've played.... but its very broken

Whaaaaaaaaat, so surprising!!!!

 

[Del-boy]

Playing a game called Disco Elysium. Probably the most bizarre game iv ever played.

Waiting for eternity for Hollow knight:silksong and have played most metroidvania games like it (Blasphemous 1 and 2, Ori 1 and 2, Hyper drift something or other, Deaths door and some other less memorable games) and the switch has today given us Nine Sols.
It’s feeling magnificent already

It’s unimaginably boring isn’t it? Having procedurally generated planets was always going to be a disaster, and it just feels so lifeless

I persisted for a good while but then I went into the second temple thing where you fly through loops or whatever it is. Couldn't believe they thought that was what gaming should be....beyond tedious.

Ordered a Ryzen 5700X to replace my 3700X...$130 on Amazon, had to pull the trigger. Not really needed but can't pass it up to help lengthen the life of my B550 platform.
