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?
Listen here you little shit.
Everyone I know turned 30 and immediately turned to dust from their advanced age. So sad. Also, really messy.
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’ve got unplayed games older than you!
