30’s?? That’s rookie numbers, I’m nearing my 50’s.
Same. And I still game. Who the fuck quits when they pwnd everyone and still have tea bags to spare?
41 here. PC master race gamer 4 lyf.
I’m 46 and a PC gamer, but I don’t give a shit what platform anyone plays on. This “PC master race” stuff is infantile bullshit and needs to disappear.
Technically, the members of the subreddit claim the name is ironic, but you’d be hard-pressed to tell by the way they often act.
PC master race is about knowing it’s the best gaming platform, not about owning one. “it’s not about the hardware on your rig, it’s the software in your heart.”
You’re being ironic, aren’t you? I can’t tell. At any rate, the best gaming platform is the one that plays the games you want, the way you want to play them, at the price you can afford. For me, that’s the PC, although many pcgamingmasterracers would look down their noses at my setup because it can’t do 60fps in all games at all times. But I’ve learned enough about how personal preferences work to actively avoid associations with elitist crap like ‘pc gaming master race’.
Forty-nite playa!
61 in about 3 weeks. I’m older than Pong, and I game every day.
I’m 50 and pong was my first video game. I had to play it on amateur with the bigger paddles because the small ones were insanely small.
Dude, that was my first game too! I kind of wish I still had it (and a screen it would play on).
I was 9 or 10 3 first time I saw a Pong arcade machine in a hotel in San Diego.
This was me (figuratively)
Gaming has been serious since
Then I wrote my first game
Now I seek my fortune in glory and plunder
My dad is a couple of years older than you and he’s the one who introduced me to gaming on his Atari back in the 80s. We play Battle for Wesnoth semi-regularly together.
There was a space of about a decade where we didn’t and honestly I regret that. We don’t live close to each other but it’s how we stay in touch.
Honestly, that and grilling (and eventually motorcycles, but I was already on my way out of rural nowhere when that happened) are the only things we bonded over. I have always had hobbies that kept me at arms length from “normal” people and my dad is the guy you’d think of if you thought of a regular dude born in the 60s. I’m still pretty weird (and happy about it), but it’s nice that I can be close to him through gaming.
My oldest and (he’s 31 today) have copies of this on our office walls https://kagi.com/proxy/2434767_orig.png?c=Ux_Oi49zwrz_XQu8syTDi7pdjUAc4KO_wcuIYxcLBYVVdaF_ts2tNMrrB1335mt_48KAUH2poQelymJ7a7PDGRjG4y4c-aoE0yr1F9vp67s7qwBYQtyX4UprxCe0g5r5
My best gaming time ever is when my sons and I make up a 4-man fire team in any game.
I’m 28 and I’m a young-un in my Elder Scrolls Online guild lol
Living the dream. I gave up on finding guilds in online games because it’s always a bunch of kids I just can’t relate to.
It’s so good lol, no drama, just people enjoying a game they love. It’s hard to get people in for things consistently sometimes because life and family happens but I guess that’s the price you pay.
