Oldies united! I wonder if with time, the bracket I am in will start to dwindle, and the newer brackets will be able to fill the void... if not, I see that the mythical bubble might burst finally :v
I'm also interested in what kinds of games people play in relation to their age. I know there's some older folks around, do the reflexes diminish over the years? Or maybe you play more thinking type games. I dunno. I'm 24, was born around the same time as the good ol SNES
At 38 I'm just as good at video games as I was when I was younger. I don't get as much game time now as I did when I was a kid or even before I had a family. So on some games I can't just commit to it the way I did in the past to learn to beat the harder levels. But now if I dedicate myself to a game I can accomplish more than when I was younger. Perfect example is Super Mario Bros. Never beat it as a kid. I would get mad and quit with multiple lives left before I beat it. A few years ago I beat it for the first time. As an older person I tend to stick with it longer if I'm commited to beating a game and don't get quite as upset when I die. But I have a lot more games to choose from to play now. So if I haven't set my mind to beating a game, then when it starts getting hard I may just move on to another game looking for a casual and fun gaming experience and not wanting to waste my time getting frustrated trying to beat a particular game.

Wow, joined NA when I was 25, crazy to think I've been here almost 9 years now.
80% of NA is dirty millenials
Where else are we supposed to go to feel wanted and sub consciously express all of our depression and anxiety?
Man, I really need to do a Google search now and validate my opinion to prove it is better than everybody else.
We should really start an NA moral support group.

We have booze. We do not need a moral support group.

Speaking of which, I have a trip to make on my way home from work.
32? I'd have to think about it
Apparently, 32 is the age you start forgetting your age. Couldn't remember if I was 32 or 33 - turns out I'm 32. Will be 33 in October.

After a certain point I think some people lose interest in keeping up with their age.
I turned 29 in January.
Waiting for poll!
