I remember going to college when I was 17 and meeting a 30-year-old student and thinking she was so old. That was almost 40 years ago now. OP, give it a few years and you might want to rephrase the question. Oh, and Star Trek on the Commodore PET was where I started.
A bit older than 30, and right here.
Me and all of my friends
I'm in my early 40s and still do a bit. Mostly, between a fulltime job, recently buying a house, and farming, I've not had time to play much. I did start BG3 but moved in the midst of it and haven't touched it in months (I'm at the first hub in whatever act has the darkness.... Act II, maybe?) I'd love to actually go back to playing some of the games I loved from the late '80s and early '90s since some of those are much easier to pick up and put down. I did play a little bit of TF2 again recently after at least 5 years (probably more) of not really playing it. This winter, I might pick BG3 back up in between house projects.
37 here. Recently bought a Lenovo Legion Go so I can game on the go. Currently enjoying Darkest Dungeon 2, among others.
Here I am, 40yo father and a husband that identifies as a gamer
Don't tell me we have lost control!!
I haven’t been playing a lot lately, but today I connected my VR headset back up so my nephew could play it. I think it’s going to pull me back in for a little bit. It’s tethered to my PC but it has oled panels with great contrast (og Samsung odyssey). It’s been years since I used it, so some of the captivating novelty felt like it was back.
I played almost nothing but VR games in ‘18-‘19, including a 200 hour Skyrim VR play through. I do not tire of it as quickly as most, and I even still have to play through the second half of HL Alyx.
I’m in my mid 40s. Those of us in The Oregon Trail Generation got to watch video games grow up alongside us. Old pong and Atari games already exist, then the NES comes out when you’re in kindergarten or first grade. You read about the SNES in Nintendo Power later in elementary school before it hits. Then the N64 comes out when you’re a teenager, and if you’re lucky you can drive yourself to the store to marvel at Mario 64 at a kiosk in the electronics section.
And that’s just Nintendo. There was a whole different kind of progression on the computer side.
Sit awhile and listen. These old bones don't move as quickly as they used to! I used to be quite a threat in Mortal Kombat 4!
I just opened final fantasy to myself and it's awesome. I'm 34
I'm 38 and play a variety of video games. Currently alot of WoW on my private server. But I might be dropping WoW for awhile in favor of focusing on the new Path of Exile league.
Maybe OP will put this on a cake one year for me
Yes, that's also me. And I'm always trying to get more people playing. Been having one-off weekend blasts with my girlfriend and her sister with EDF5, Tekken 7 and other games.
They also got a taste of Overcooked. The yelling at each other was glorious
right here!
I'm currently playing Borderlands with my friend in the UK every Monday morning. In the past we have played borderlands 2, borderlands 3, tiny Tina's wonderland, Diablo 4, Grim Dawn, city off Heroes and many more.
