I don’t think there is a cutoff.

My 80yo grandfather still pulls out the gamecube to play Mario Kart (and for a long time noone else could beat him). My grandmother before she passed was not really big on video games but would play one specific level of crash bandicoot over and over again.

My 45~yo mother streams minecraft in her free time and is even looking to start up a YouTube channel with more content. Some of her viewers are close to her age and when she was playing more Counter Strike than Minecraft the server she played on had adults of all ages on it.

I’m getting closer to 30 every year and I can’t see myself ever quitting games. If/when I marry I imagine playing games will just be part of family bonding. I may get worse as I age like my grandfather but I doubt I’ll ever stop.

reopening in a restricted form

What are we talking about here? Will it be a protest similar to r/steam or r/pics, a restriction on who can post/comment, or something else entirely?

I wonder if this will end as poorly as that eating disorder hotline that did the same thing.

League of Legends is the game we all share (it’s how most of us met each other) but there are other games that some of us play together from time to time.

Deep Rock Galactic, Risk of Rain 2, Remnant: From the Ashes (sequel next month), Minecraft, and ARPGs. Just to name a few.

It’s not uncommon either for us to just be playing out own thing and streaming to the others.

Came here to suggest vampire survivors. Super cheap game that you can just turn your brain off and play.

Yeah, if I stick with Lemmy (which seems highly likely) I want to put up my own private instance for similar reasons and maybe even invite friends and family that I can talk into it.

Reminds me of a meme (read brilliant idea) I saw where US minimum wage should be tied to average rent in order to start a war between landlords and companies.

While I haven’t played it in a hot second, Dead Cells is one of my favorite rogue-likes and this is very exciting news.

I don’t watch much TV, but I’ll likely watch these since the episodes will be short.
