Even the youngest members of this board must be on the cusp of middle age by now

sure, but middle age is not old. I'm the same age as nicfit (in fact, we were born on exactly the same day in the same year) but I don't consider myself old by far.

Middle age is old compared to what we were when we started posting here

That's a good/scary point. Yikes.

i had a convo with a clerk at a circle k today. age came up. i'm 36, mom is 71, grandma is 96. he was a young'n, his mom is 37 and his grandma is 53. i have friends with lil kids but i didn't realize i could have raised an adult by now. ow did that hit home.


i dug up a hard drive, just ordered an external usb enclosure, and i'm going to load it to the max with wii u games.

Time is really fucking weird.

Yup

I find it so amusing when I think of some of the insults directed at me on this forum in the past (not T&B) for being old and then I read your posts about your favourite video games or favourite Ween/ LCD Soundsystem albums in your late 30s. In 2018.

I am somewhat ashamed to be playing video games at my age.

No on isn’t on that Monster Hunter World? I’ve already put like 120 hours into it.

still playing BF1 multiplayer.

I've been playing it the past couple weeks. Only like 14 hrs or so but loving it.

Yeah. It’s mynfirst MH. So I’m really having a lot of fun with it. A lot of shit to pay attention to.

Yeah first here as well. Feels like Phantasy Star Online x Shadow of the Colossus.

Agreed. So much fun. You on XBONE? No ps4?

been enjoying clash of clans tons for about a year and a half now. so much so i’ve had little need of buying games in recent times. it has enough strategy and variability to keep me interested without huge commitments . plus unlike adaptations of pc games for mobile, this one is great on the ipad.

the whole global multiplayer thing is nuts— i think there are something like 100 million people playing it at once? and when you find a decent clan to park yourself it’s actually quite pleasant. the fact that it’s free (they try to sell you things but you don’t have to, i’ve spent maybe $15 total since i started) definitely a plus.

Correct and correct.

I kinda am.

But you’re actually a whole day younger than me, so,you’re not.

Hmmmmmm...I don’t really like much the cartoon-ish style, I dig more “realistic” (to an extent..) stuff like pubg for that kind of games. I play pubg solo, and I got a feeling overwatch is too heavily team based for me (plus I don’t play much at all, overall, getting to know all the characters and maps would take ages).

Oh I also finished Super Hot (just the main game, no challenges/secrets etc.) and loved evey second of it.

Oh yeah Overwatch is 100% team important. Like team roles etc. Not your thing then.

Super Hot is fun and tense
