Preach it! Closing in on 60 and looking to build a new one for the next 5 years! Also use my Oculus 2 quite a bit. Although I will admit I like gaming on computers much more than I did on my steam deck so I gave that to my son. It's probably because I'm more of a keyboard mouse person than a controller person
Damn... I'm into older gentlemen and I WISH I could find me a gamer lol. I'm dating a 55 year old but he refuses to play video games with me 😭.
Edit: Wow, I got more replies than I thought I was lol. I've always wanted to date a gamer but none of my partners have ever been into gaming. I went to school to be a video game designer so I was around gamers but they were either too shy to ask me out or to want to go out with me.
Oh there are loads of us out there. 51 here and been gaming since my late dad got me the Atari 2600 in the 70s for Christmas and got me into gaming. He brought most of my machines up until I brought my own as an adult (though he did treat me to a 360 when it came out as a Christmas pressie bless him). He was also not into gaming as such but did like watching me play and kept up with tech until his passing a couple of years back.
My best friend met her now husband on World of Warcraft must be 15 years ago now or more. Been married to him for 10 and even left here in UK to be with him in Belgium. Has a kid with him and an older son from a previous relationship, we all game with them regularly as well as role play via discord. They also play games with one another as well as couples.
For a lot of us though is finding another half of the gaming partnership is hard but not as hard as it used to be. I am a proud gamer, manga reader, anime fan and enjoy cosplaying!
Atari 2600 takes me back. Megamania was my favorite. I remember me and my dad constantly playing to be each other's high scores. PS5 now and love the graphics and gameplay, but nothing will ever come close to the old systems and arcades that we hung out at with our allowances converted into quarters
I mainly remember just Space Invaders for the Atari, I was very young only just turned 5 when we got it. I think we had Pitfall as well but would have to check as it is still boxed up in my late Dads loft (Sister now lives there), next was the ZX Spectrum in the early 80s.
I'm 47 and have always wanted to date a gamer girl. I will play video games until the day I take my last breath. I will probably die wearing my Quest 3, 4, or 5. I'm in No Man's Sky VR with it daily. Hands down my favorite VR experience.
lol your comment was like chum to old gamers! We’ve lost families over gaming as a hobby! It’s like jazz. If I have to explain it, you just wouldn’t get it, daddy-o.
I can’t believe I got to say the thing, though! It may be passé, but damn, it feels good to zing a classic. Good luck with the resumes, m’lady!
Hilarious! You could probably start an only fans or a stream where you play games with dudes 42 and older or something. You can keep your clothes on, play some games, make some money, and make a difference in the lives of grown men that game.
And that's not a bad idea actually 🤔🤔🤔. I'm pretty cute and was blessed with a nice chest lol. A decent V cut geeky shirt would definitely do the work. Lol.
It’s an untapped demographic! Lower T guys. Employed. Disposable income? Just looking for a safe space?
Old gamers are so used to the shame of being an old gamer…A cute stacked chick? Being nice to them and encouraging a hobby that carries a stigma with our generation? A woman that knows the game can’t be paused? Or what “let me finish this level” means?
Man, I smell lucrative side hustle! And you could even potentially keep your self respect! This feels like a win/win.
OMG!!! It definitely is!!! I love playing games to begin with so it's not like I'll be suffering through this AND get paid for doing so???? DEFINITELY a win / win!!!
53 and I built gaming rigs for all my daughters. Have VR, a high end gaming rig for myself and also built a full motion rig for flying and racing games.
VR is such an excellent way to do some fitness and move your body around especially as you get older. I really wish I could've introduced my granddad to it.
