I'm in my mid 40s and need to game. What with work, kids, bills and everyday crap I need an escape.

When you reach a certain age, you do (or should) cease to give the remotest semblance of a you-know-what what other people think about what you do.

The luteral time you should stop gaming is if you either no longer enjoy it, or literally when your permanent residence is six feet below ground level.

Any other time there MAY be ways around it...

if you can't move your hands, get an "eyeball tracking mouse".

If you can't see, be a spokrsman for turtle beach snd play games that sre highly sound deprndent, and zero sight dependeent ( if you want to play a regular game by memory of a pattern ALONE, Play that)

I mean, really, what kinda question is that?!?

Never too old.

How old is too old to care what other people think about how you spend your leisure time? Are we back in high school seeking the approval of others? I'm plenty old, but I'm doing as I please during my second childhood.

The only objectively correct answer is 'Never'.

Galactus · 10-23-2019, 11:50 AM

No such thing. My father played SNES and N64 games well into his 70's. Anyone tries convincing you otherwise tell them to take a hike.

erixon20 · 10-23-2019, 11:52 AM

I am waiting for the Sega genesis mini that was just released to be hacked/modded...because that has
a lot of good games on it...does that answer your question?

SleazyForWeasley · 10-23-2019, 11:53 AM

When your hands can no longer work the controller.

thelittleprince · 10-23-2019, 08:30 PM

100 yo

BouCoupDinkyDau · 12-13-2019, 10:56 AM

47

The Battlefield series used to be my bread and butter, but I find at this point in my life that my reflexes in the online arena ain’t what they used to be.

In addition to military shooters, I enjoy single player turn-based games (like Into the Breach) and single player RPGs (like The Elder Scrolls or Mass Effect).

ThePreacher · 10-24-2019, 12:05 AM

I introduced gaming to my two daughters. They love it. I don't have long gaming sessions that are hyped up on Mountain Dew and Doritos anymore, but as a guy in my mid-30's, I still love video games. I would say that I probably love them even more as my interests have expanded and I am able to enjoy more types of games.

Age is just a number.

Jay H. · 10-24-2019, 01:52 AM

It has nothing to do with age. Just ask John Carpenter.

theEXORCIST · 10-24-2019, 03:19 AM

Im gonna say 59 yo is too old to play video games

njdevil254 · 10-24-2019, 03:50 AM

I'm 40 and have been playing videogames since the Atari 2600 days. I certainly don't have time for them like I used to, with silly things like kids and running a business sucking up any free time I have, but I still get it in every once in a while. My 8 year old and I just earned the Platinum Trophies for Minecraft and Goat Simulator (damn you to hell Flappy Goat) so it can be a bonding experience.
