I like how the little brother hasn't been given a controller. My mum snitched on me when I didn't plug my sister's controller in
Dovieandisetouvyasagain
I love how the eyes are getting progressively bigger and more dilated as he ages. Like the adult version of him is super high on drugs.

and now overwatch until i can’t see straight

This is my life to a T.
OllyMillMill
Took me a while to realise that theres obv a parent off ‘camera’ saying get off the computer/game
ThicccKoi
His brother has the disconnected controller.
SgtJackV
I don't think that's even a controller.
MerToo
yeah well i'd go on endless international holidays and sail around in a yacht IF I WASN'T A EXPLOITED NEO-SERF. Gaming at home is affordable
Affray
For realsies though, there are certain aspects of gaming that do train people's brains and eyes to function in better ways.
WhereArtThouMyTesticles
I'm 30, stopped gaming in my early 20s, picked it up again last year after I quit drinking. Best time waster ever and no hangover.
DocVolt
get 2 jobs to buy a 3000€ gaming pc. Gets photophobia and crossed eyes due to daily microscope use. Never play a game again
supaninja08
I'm scrolling through imger between online matches I need to go outside.
ALPhaTONic
Go outside? Why? There's people out there. Some are probably sick and could infect you with their germs. Stay inside dude.
IMainlyReactWithAnimeGifs
This is me since Monster Hunter World came out. I've put almost 6 full days into it, and I'm a bit ashamed of myself.
RaccoonInMyPants
The lesson? Skip college to become an adult and play all you like.
Foulk32
What is a tween ?

Trust me you don't want to know. Those things are crazy.

Knew a 95 yo lady with a terminal disease who still wanted treatment because she wanted to keep playing her “video games”
ArdentSlacker
Sweet. So about when she retired, game consoles started to be a thing. Better than soaps. :D
Bonelesspotato
I used to be that kind of 19-20 hours gaming sessions guy. Until I had bills to pay and noticed I was arguing with my then gf cuz of games
JamieSmyth
My fiance and I pay our bills and enjoy games together. I don't understand people that don't enjoy games
Bonelesspotato
Eh sometimes it's easier to adapt than to understand
djangojazz
As a 40 year old gamer I love video games, why would I ever want to stop? They are much better than mindless reality TV if you are inside.
ArdentSlacker
OMG, yes. Can't stand watching most tv. If I can write better dialog in the shower, why would I ever sit through theirs? I knew Lost was 1+
ArdentSlacker
2/2 going to waste everybody's time early on. But... yanno, I could be convinced to play the same thing in game form. ^^;
ChristopherHaarlock
32, Veteran, Parent of a 4 year old. Retired(injuries), I game with my kid, and she beats me at some of them.
ALPhaTONic
Sweet ... not your injuries ... i mean that you play games with your kid.
ChristopherHaarlock
Lawl, no worries - she got a Nabi2 and plays some sorta physics sprinkler game on it. she's around lv.40, I'm barely topping lv.10 in it.
ALPhaTONic
I love physics games. I like the one where you move a ball through a maze avoiding certain holes. I had that game IRL when i was a kid.
ilikeblondehair
I stopped playing video games this year, and I kinda wish I did it earlier. So much more free time, and I've picked up reading and running.
prodmerc
So much money saved, as well :/ I only play games with a good story once a year maybe. MMOs are just too addictive and in the end, useless
firefighter26
It's all about balance. I set a schedule for going to the gym & sneak in a hour or two when the kids are asleep is my reward for adulting.
ilikeblondehair
Thats probably a healthy way to do it. For me, it got in the way of my studies, made me antisocial, and curbed my aspirations. So I stopped.
firefighter26
I can fully understand that. I've been deep down that hole, which is why I recognize it and focus on playing casually.
ilikeblondehair
Not that vidya is inherently bad, but as a hobby it doesn't really give you anything in the long run and it sucks you in the more you play.
Roehcai
What I get out of it 'in the long run' is experiences. Same from tabletop RPGs. Experiencing a story I participated in, etc.
ilikeblondehair
I see what you're saying, tho I find that experiences in VG are fleeting at best. whereas RPG or boardgames have a physical social component
Roehcai
I prefer RPGs and stuff with friends, but sometimes getting groups together is tricky. But I don't agree with the 'fleeting' thing. 1/2
emparier
How did he get his hair to peacefully comb the opposite direction? I need tips.
balentay
Years and years of letting it settle :p
bigdp55
Just turn your head and boom, perfect hair shift. Seen it work many times in cartoons and anime.
ALPhaTONic
Buy a boar bristle brush and after washing your hair blowdry it and then brush it with the brush in whatever direction you want.
sweetandsalty
Smoothing cream
FatherofRogerSimon10
Wash thoroughly part opposite use a gel,it won't look right let it be wait repeat takes weeks not years
koalatyassurance
For some reason after years of combing my hair to the right, it randomly became very easy (and better looking) to comb it to the left.
lickwidghost
Me too. First hairdresser ever so explained my crown twists the other way, and BOOM it's tidy now
BumblyWumbly
Regular hair care routine that fits your hair type. Also gotta have already good hair.
LordScrublord
I honestly don't see any point in my life where I will give up gaming. Its just a hobby and passion I have had since I was like 4.
nero4ty2
i'll never give it up fully, but with a career and 2 kids there isn't any time left in the day to game
Mahanos
But... It's supposed to be for kids! Don't you think you should grow up? I mean, why else would they make all those M-rated games? /sarcasm
ArdentSlacker
Last I checked, kids don't have... income. :)
Denturedog
I feel the same way about masturbation
hug3isftw
hatethisbit
Same here, 35 years old and been gaming since early teens. I don’t think I will ever stop
mechanicalchaos
Me and all my close friends are gamers. We gamed when young, we're gaming into our 30s, we even have parents in their 60s gaming with us.
BuzzKiIlington
It's just another form of entertainment like watching TV or reading a book. No reason to see it as temporary
Affray
1)My mom used to gripe a bit when I played games too much, which to be honest I actually did. Then one day she was in the room while I was
Affray
2)playing Chrono Trigger and watched about an hour of plot unfold. She remarked that it was better than some books she'd read and didn't
Affray
3)complain as much after that. Some games are exactly like a good book, but you control the characters you love.
DiabeticDolphin
Exactly. I don't give a shit about the Kardashians. I would rather play video games.
imonewiththeforceandtheforceiswithme
You forgot the "I'm an adult with kids" which is you no longer play games because all screen in your house are 24x7 occupied by Disney Jr.
DarkPhantomKills
TV and cable.. works for me
ArdentSlacker
Phone games exist. So maybe you only get 40 min because you're in the doc's waiting room. Still counts. :D
imonewiththeforceandtheforceiswithme
Yup, that's all I do. Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes is my jam. I put HOURS a day into that
ArdentSlacker
I tried getting into pokemon go as a way to get exercise. But my phone's GPS is shit-tastic. My folks tho? They're still going strong. XD
imonewiththeforceandtheforceiswithme
I'll play that whenever I go shopping. Fun thing to do with the wife (she likes the cute ones)
ArdentSlacker
My folks like hiking. Now they plan their route around conquering a few gyms. Kinda hardcore.
klean9
I would sit my twin daughters alongside me, turn out the lights and play Half-Life.They had to warn me about head crabs. Still got to play!
imonewiththeforceandtheforceiswithme
What age? My oldest is 4 so best I’ve done is play co-op Mario Odyssey (which is basically hard mode when a wee-one plays as the hat!)
klean9
Half life came out 1998 so they were 5.
Comet260
One of the main reasons I went the "no kids" route.
imonewiththeforceandtheforceiswithme
Yeah but they’re cute and you can’t beat the tax benefits!
Comet260
No. Kids are not cute. Kittens on the other hand....
imonewiththeforceandtheforceiswithme
Kittens make me sneeze. And come on, baby giggles are adorable
Comet260
YOU think babies are cute. Other people don't and there's nothing wrong with that.
nero4ty2
they don't have their own dedicated screens?
imonewiththeforceandtheforceiswithme
They do. Its never never never enough! Each has their own iPad, plus they take over the TVs. I only play mobile games now b/c thats mine!
nero4ty2
Damn, you need to set some ground rules, kids can have their pads in my house but big tv is mine, or we all share it and no pads
imonewiththeforceandtheforceiswithme
Even if they aren’t watching it, I can’t put what I want on there cause it’s age inappropriate. At least they’re watching SW and HP now
nero4ty2
Gotcha, i just play LEGO or Mario if they are watching, and tolerate MLP and Sarah and duck or peg plus cat
Foonbee
Legit irritates me to know end to see my little 9 year old brother watch Netflix on the tv while watching YouTube on his phone
imonewiththeforceandtheforceiswithme
Multi-tasking!
Thisbefluff
As a kid, my brother would have control of the remote, be playing DS and listening to his iPod while laying in the middle of the floor. O.o
Boomquisha
Aaaaahahahaha I'm with you there brother
Boomquisha
If I watch one more Mickey mouse fucking clubhouse I'm gonna burn this mother down.

TheVapeCrusader
Just saying, I'm a gamer, and I carry knives for the same reason anyone else would
TKBarbus
How do you kill that which has no life
ALPhaTONic
With forced social interaction!
sanaujiram
I’m a junior bio major. Taking 20 credit hours plus doing research. God I miss video games.
Giantisim
It’s ok to take breaks for other life ventures. Just realize you can always come back to them if you truly miss them. :)
AroAce
I´m wondering why he has a knife.
johneventually1
He can't for his sword on the table, duh.
AroAce
What ?
TheVapeCrusader
*fit
ArdentSlacker
Chip bag opener? Edgelord? Improv screwdriver? NFI.
AroAce
It just doesn´t make any sense to me why a gamer has a knife or is being associated with one.
ArdentSlacker
I had one on a multitool. And I have a kitchen. I mean, cooking is a thing.
AroAce
Sure but it looks more like a knife you would use to defend yourself than a knife you would use for cooking it is just odd to me to see this
Foonbee
Its a poop knife
AroAce
How does this make any sense ?
ALPhaTONic
Maybe he doesn't use stool softener like the rest of us sheeple ... everyone does that ... right?
Cyzyk
Like Millennials can afford stool softener when a dollar store poop knife is better for the environment anyway.
AroAce
Yeah I´m just asking why he has one and what is the use for it ?
klean9
63. Retired. Gaming all I want.
ilikeyourpics
Man, that sounds great. Being retired and all.
klean9
Much better than I thought it would be!
firefighter26
Fuck, I look forward to this!

I miss my old guildies on WoW. They were all really mature and helpful, it was amazing :P
Headstereo
Its always neat when i would see older people lol.
herpesfreesince93
I'm dead. Playing the Skyrim: Heaven Edition for eternity.
Asciiman
Living the dream. 16 years till retirement and I dream of all the games I will finish when I get there
Kenona
One ofmy favourite peopleto play games with was 60 years old, one hell of a bastard. Unfortunatly we lost contact after clan lead shut it...
Kenona
All down, by removing our webpage, our in-game clans and TeamSpeak server.
KamSolastor
Finally, enough time to mod up Skyrim as much as you want.

Same here (late 40s). Zero Fucks Given.
darksamus8
Oh snap! Retired at 40? Very successful I hope? =P
feryooday
What does 'retired' mean?
prodmerc
Mentally challenged. Oh wait, that's 'retarded'. It's not having a job and living off your pension and/or savings.
klean9
Hopefully, you’ll find out....someday

iwanttomountndewya
I had several friends from WoW that were around your age range :D was 15 at the time and still had a great time
waynebradybitch
i once played battlefield: vietnam back when i was in high school with someone who was probably *in* Vietnam. He was a cool guy
BirdFondler
Hell yeah this server is full of free grandpas
CyborgScribe
Woman I know is in her sixties and plays WoW. Good on her.
thefuzziestnipplesever
I know the way I get into MMO's, and for that reason I would never start wow unless I was retired already.
Scotticus93
Haha I played with a guy on day of defeat that age too. And black ops 2 zombies. Cool dudes. Better than playing with lil British kids lol
BarderBetterFasterStronger
Curious, what's a63 year old play.
klean9
World of Tanks, all the half life, all the bioshock, all the COD, the Wolfensteins. First year of retirement so I’m playing catch up
BarderBetterFasterStronger
Thanks for the insight!
klean9
Oh and Skyrim
ralphie84
How about World of Warships?
klean9
Yes and W o Warplanes
beez428
Possibly nosy/strange question, but how are your hands? I think retirement will be the only time i can actually sink into games again, but 1
beez428
Worry i won't be able to handle a controller very well.
klean9
Fingers good. Mouse and WASD no problem. Get achey from yard work but none of that now in northern Michigan
PlatypusPlatypus
This really speaks to me. Except that as an adult, I do not have time to play video games like I used to.
Xenarion
Adult here. Unless you're working 2 jobs, you have time.
TechnicalDrift
12-16 hour workdays are fucked.
Mansooratyale
Many times I will hover over the game icon then: nah I should get some sleep
CardinalCanuck
It's what turned me off of multiplayer. Don't have the time to play and by the time I do it's all teens with too much time
PlatypusPlatypus
OMIGOD YES! Ruined WoW for me because I don't have the time to go on raids with the guild like I used to and they don't tolerate inactivity.
Nubbsy
Have you considered ignoring all other responsibilities?
PlatypusPlatypus
Hmm... you make a good point...
PoesCrow
+1 for your struggle
PlatypusPlatypus
Thank you, I will use this point to buy more shitposts
DukeOfChutney608
you spend all your time making money to enjoy stuff like video games but then have no time to play them. its really tragic
hiyesthisissatan
The worst part is that when I do have time to play my kids want a turn.
muldin80
Gaming is like a relationship u habe to work at it and make it work even when u dont want to sometimes because u love them and ur besty

Sob, as a parent of a little one, I have barely any time to game. I missss hours upon hours of just playing.
balentay
As an adult I am too lazy to play video games like I used to.
JustThePGTips
You need to become a less productive adult.
johneventually1
Video games will help you. Try weed too.
BigDaddysMeatWagon
I just sleep less. It sucks but at least I play games

Right? I don't even know off the top of my head the last time I played one.

When you're young you've got no $ but plenty of free time, when you're an adult you've got more $ (generally) but no free time.
trowavo
Well to be honest this only really count for employed adults
HoriOri
Young=Free time, energy, no money. 30=Energy, money, no free time. Retired=Money, free time, but no energy.
polijutre
I can relate to this to, except that as an adult i've lost most of my interest in gaming :(
BoltAurelius
It comes and goes.
PoppinLochNessHopster
Back when I had the shittiest PC of all time I LOVED games and ate them up, now I got the beast setup and couldn't give a shit :( sad times
polijutre
Yeah i bought a brand new ps4 with a couple of games, sill can't find the will to finish one of them.
ArdentSlacker
As a guy that struggles with depression... some of it's the games. :) It's weird what I've sunk time into, and what I just can't. But the 1+
ArdentSlacker
2+ thing that tells me that, well... sometimes, the quality is not there? The Surge. I've beaten the pants off all the Souls games. That

It's always so many more little thing also not just sleep food and work

Lmao, I try cutting sleep for video games at least once a year and severely regret it latet.

Bought Witcher 3 for $26 and it has probably saved me over $100 in bar tabs over the past month.

I used to could do that, but now in my 30s I feel like I'm dying from staying up past 11 and waking up at 5:30...
thingamajig1987
Same but I prefer feeling like death and having some game time
HoriOri
Pros of being 32, I can afford an 8700K. Cons, I never have time to turn it on.
EvillBob
Preach it, brother.
phatdaddi
Same. I have Witcher 3 that I haven't played in months because I don't have the time to get lost in the story. Like I want.
wazero
I feel that way now and I'm 20. I'm concerned about my future
PlatypusPlatypus
The difference is recovery time
Sergelid
Give it another 20 years and you'll need less sleep. To make the time pass just play games.
PlatypusPlatypus
That's some solid logic
Iresemblethatremark
You'll be able to wait until they're cheap to get them that way, too.
WhyleKat
Late 30s and played Monster Hunter for 6 hours last night then slept for 3 hours. Work is not fun today. Still Worth it.
Iresemblethatremark
What weapon type do you specialize in? I'm in a lil' group with a hammer/insect glaive/switch axe/bow team and we're having a blast.
WhyleKat
Been using multiples. Bow, Heavy Bowgun, Charge Blade, Insect Glaive, and Dual Swords.
