37 and sitting on my Mass Effect 3 run number…I can’t remember actually. Maybe I should go back to the Elden Ring DLC.

40 here. Minecraft is my main but I play others too, like Horizon 5, balders gate 3, stardew valley (mad respect for the Dev), and a few others. I gave up cod after warzone came out.

I’ve been playing video games for probably around 46 years. Let’s just say they’ve changed a little in that time.

I feel old playing TF2 these days. I still don't know what "skibidi" means.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Hey fellow fossil! I just learned it means evil lol

Apparently there's a show "skibidi toilet" where they're just shitty people or something.

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.

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.
