50+. Play every chance I get. Don’t know why it would be surprising, other than Lemmy being an echo chamber of tech-minded younger people who forget my generation started out gaming with Atari and the like.
44 and I have clocked about 40 hours in Final Fantasy XIV this week. When I get home from work, it’s game time.
Over 30. New Path of Exile league this weekend-- 12 hours Sat/Sun because I can’t do all day gaming anymore, what with being ancient and all.
Man we sure are suckers for this Facebook level interaction bait.
if 30s is grandpa then what the fuck am I.
My back and knees hurt just thinking about this.
Worm food?
Can confirm, am 44 and worm food. Lower back but no knee trouble, yet. Some ankle trouble from an injury at 33, my grandpa years.
for some reason people around 30 years old always call themselves old lol
56 here , started with pong , atari 2600 and still play PC games daily.
57 and same.
Lol people can be so weird.
I have 70 year old family/coworkers who are like “hey 70 isn’t old!”
And then there’s Lemmy “hey 18 year olds, what’s it like to be minutes from death?”
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?
The tea bags are a bit saggier, but they’re still good!
It just means you don’t have to squat as far.
Right on time too my knees are shot
Maybe it’s been an evolutionary trait all along!
At 45 my knees are hanging in there (even with the cycling and skiing). It’s my ankles that are becoming an occasional problem oddly.
You youngsters can eat my shorts, I’ll be gunning for you (in game f course). Excuse me, I need to yell at those damn kids to GET OFF MY LAWN
posting this on lemmy of all places is hilarious, i have a hunch that half of the userbase is 40+
Yeah probably - I mean I just turned 50 and moved over to Lenny due to the likeness to the old internet forums and BB’s of the 90’s and early 00’s before the normies discovered the internet via social media……

Yall GOTTA stop pretending 30 is old
ive only been an adult on my own for like 5 years, relax
I’ve got unplayed games older than you!
My choice of a retirement home will be dictated by which one offers high-speed internet service.
I have a plan to develop a standalone wow pserver that’s all set up with directions on how to do everything so my wife, kids, whoever can plop my dimentiated self in azeroth where I can’t get lost.
I know an 84 year old man that has played WoW since vanilla.
Im 60 and been gaming since Wolfenstein 3D.
I grew up playing video games in the 80’s - of course I still play video games even though I turned 50 this year.
I swear the younger generations forget gaming has been around for a LONG time long before they were born, also that people don’t change what they enjoy doing just because they get older……
Turning 40 on two months! Where my going grey bush gamers at? I got over 600 games in Steam alone and play like 10 of them! Who else?
Mah untouched steam library growns like my back!
Haha bundles will be the death of me
