Im not that old, but I do wonder at what point, if ever, is it sad to find toys/stuff designed for young people fun?

I dont like hunting and meat smokers. Or sports. Im into classic consoles and rc cars and Legos. Sometimes I feel like people have kids just so they can try to relive their own kid days. But I do that on a daily basis. Im surrounded by "kid" stuff, right down to 90s vhs cartoons and a Bop it.

My co workers would think its very odd that I spent the weekend playing atari and building legos. I guess I did put up some wood paneling too. But most other people were probably trucking their kids to sports practice and smoking a hog.

I work in IT and I think most of us still enjoy Lego and retro consoles and games.

Granted I do work with a ton of nerds.

We fought over a cool Lego car set for our white elephant gift at the Christmas party hah.

Basically just enjoy what you like and don’t yuck anyone else’s yum.

    IT is a wild and wonderful variety of people. Once knew a guy who would, between tickets, use the whiteboard on the wall (we were in a room originally meant to be a classroom) to draw. I think the coolest was the Evangelion art that was bigger than I am.
