To bad most games don't support LAN anymore.
BunnyButtBunster
You know it! With '90s metal and grunge!
DaPretzelMan
That or San junipero
M0ltik
They all are going to play long ass story games
utgort
Sure will do well being deaf, half-blind and arthritic hands.
ashesarise
By then our internet will have no latency, and the whole world will essentially be one giant lan party.
CovfefetheStrong
Yup! Every once in a while somebody would probably ACTUALLY die while playing, but it really wouldn't be a bad way to go.
Superspoopyskellingtons
No, I don't want to hear another story, shut up and drop me an awp jerry
Grubenwolf
I'm gonna be like 85 years old and you're still going to see me watching dank videos and playing World of Warcraft.
FrecklesIRL
This is the first thing that's made me stop dreading getting old.
NeOxJokeR
Finally be able to actually play all those games from the steam sales
everysecondleft
Mind blown. Never thought of it before. Wohooo!!
cogs
Except they'll be limited to 4-6pm Saturdays and you'll have to share a 12-port hub. Powered switches prohibited for "safety" reasons.

I worked in a nursing home for a few years. we'd get the occasional rehab people that would bring playstations and xboxs in to play.
ToonTooby
The dream. Retire in the home amicably hating the same people you played with in HS. You will find me near Melee and Halo CE. See ya there!
IronMarla
San Junipero.
DogTaxEvader
Hint: go watch Black Mirror, season 3.
BitchButcher
1/2) I don't think so. I'm 30 and already hate those 15y/o who don't play PC because they prefer their smartphones. When I'm
BitchButcher
2/2) 100 and don't want to play with those 85y/o kiddies!
PillowFu
This is seriously going to kick ass.
dagarim13
Just like college: playing hearthstone together from one room away so you don't have to make eye contact.
mechalentil
I really hope someone sets up like, a gamer focused retirement home by the time i'm old, I just wanna drink and game as an old lady
NothingForNobody
Yes!
doodybird
The home will probably get kickbacks from marketing so be prepared to have Mountain Dew and Doritos every meal and see it plastered all over
MrVacuumBrainBimbo
And hopefully virtual reality for those of us that turn into vegetables
ProphetChuck
lol looking at the state of my pension, which is non existent, I doubt I'll retire.
ashesarise
What would be interesting is if they had esports elders leagues in games. Can only enter if you're 60 years+ or something. I'd watch that.
peridotstar
Thats a pretty good idea--I wonder what kind of game they would choose
jimmycricket93
World of Tanks
rookie23
Never play with Jenkins Sr. over there, bad at party play and never remembers the plans.
TinyKobold

Hahahaha! 50 years! Babyboomers are gonna fuck us really hard and firm I'm afraid.
alkante
Most baby boomers will be dead though average life spain is around 80 years
bachpad
Doesn't matter. How it's set up at my age in my low 30s they estimate I should be expecting only 78% of promised benefits.
damspam
Nonsense with hard work & social security we will enjoy a comfy retirem-hahah I cant even type it. Hah. Fuck.
MetaSomma
More tears
WhySoSiri
They already did. Which is why we don't have real retirement plans.
WhySoSiri
Or healthcare plans for when we retire.
LongCommentChainAppreciator
Most Babyboomers will be long gone, imagine how little you'd be paying into their pension plans :D
WhySoSiri
As if the government would give up tax money, it will just be going to their pockets more.
LongCommentChainAppreciator
Watch out, we've got a "wake up sheeple" - person here
WhySoSiri
For the record: 9/11 wasn't an inside job and I think Ron Paul was kind of a wack-a-doo.

"God damn it, Gerald, I swear to god if you spawn-camp me one more time I'm going to break into your room and flush your fucking dentures!"
TheCrisis13
"Bob, if you snipe me across the map one more time....go fuck your mother!!!" "Why would I fuck my 130 year old mother Joe? Lol headshot!!!!
KleineFichte
Will people still be called Gerald in 50 years?

There are dozens of us

This made me laugh more than the post.

TheBengalKatLady
I can't wait for more seasons of this. Amazing show that is a total mindfuck.
CrazyCatLad
I'm not obsessed with it enough to binge but my GF and I will watch one or two episodes a month...good mind fucks.
MephitmpH
San Junipero! Made me cry.. I guess I take care of too many old peeps <3
WatcherNotCreeper
which one?
KarlderMarder
3/4 San Junipero
WatcherNotCreeper
still season 2, thx
IGuessIamThatGuy
Been meaning to watch that, is it good?
KarlderMarder
It's worth a try - it's weired and sometimes put you in a thoughtful mood, but I do recommend it
TeraDactyl
It's amazing but prepare to be fucked in the head for awhile.
incumbustable
Or fuck a pig.
BenStein40
Dont watch the first episode of season 1
AEvilNyanKat
Worst episode
CrazyCatLad
Motion seconded.
RideTheStimutacs
Ehh, it's fine for the moral discussion it provokes, but it's a weird episode to start on. Read a synopsis and decide if you want to see it.
Okebel
Gets better after that? I started watching it the first episode, didn't liked it. Is it like a fresher version of the Twilight zone?
BenStein40
All my coworkers told me to watch that show, watched first episode and didnt pick it up again until someone said watch 3rd season
Piecost
S3 e2 mentally fucks with me
KarlderMarder
Yeah, that one was realy fucked up - I'm looking forward to games like this :-D
revcleo
As long as you don't end up with the same fate at least.
KarlderMarder
Maybe no LSD while playing then ;)
imguraptor
I just hope they figure out a cure for arthritis. my fingers are already getting creaky
beartato
If you inject butter directly into your joints, its like lube and will allow your joint s to move more freely.
mblizzle
According to my dad, ginger tea has helped the joints in his hands move much more freely
CastleRockDOR
Maybe by then you can get fixed up with one of those Venom Snake hands
Allhailmidgetgoat
After some time in the Army, being 21 and having creeky joints is quite the feeling.
Trashgarbage
Just spent an hour trying to find this picture for everyone. Not OC. https://imgur.com/4reMx2u

Swap your ctrl and capslock keys.
jobe
Wont need hands when they plug your brain in directly lol
SmellyPotatoMan
At 19, my joints and fingers pop when I move them. I know the feeling.
weedbratton
We will probably just have better prosthetics than the cure to arthritis lol
MrRandom314159
Creaky joints? Have you tried amputation?
Icefirealchemy
Senescent cell clearing may do just that check the link 1/2

Direct nerve interface is just around the bend.
FluffyPuddles
Eat less processed junk food, get more real nutrients at meal time & daily supplements. Vit C, D, B complex, E, A, Magnesium, Selenium, etc.
Robvp
Mine just hurt a lot at the joints, along with my wrist, been taking glucosamine 1500mg tabs twice a day, it helps
bachpad
What are your vitamin B12 & D levels? You may want to take supplements to help, especially D.
Robvp
Not sure if double entendre but I will look intp D and B12 supplements

I'm holding out hope for a full-dive VR, not unlike Sword Art Online (just, ya know, without the possibility of dying).
DiscipleOfHelix
Iunno, I think for our generation that would be a great way to die. Instead of getting so old we die with Alzhiemers...Death Tournament.
ZaphodBeeblebroxIsRusselBrand
If the Greed Island saga of Hunter X Hunter was made as a full-dive VR, I don't think I'd even look forward to heaven
Caffynated
Without the possibility of dying? Who would play a filthy casual MMO like that?
WorkerLurker
A game you can die in is too easy
dunlapdynamo
Let's go with legendary moonlight sculptor! That seems like a pretty solid vr device!
Soitora
Indeed
BushToadSherlock
Can we use a good anime like Log Horizon though. The makers of that show actually understand mmo game mechanics.
SimiKusoni
Log Horizon was admittedly better, but I still enjoyed the first part of SAO.
AnimeisCancer
That'll represent the pinnacle of humanity, with science instantly useless and the real world left behind. Really sad
quadstrike
username checks out
Ulthirm
Perhaps just the gear that game would suck to play
brothertaddeus
Oh, that's what I meant. The headset/technology. I wouldn't want to play an MMO; give me a Bethesda game will full-dive and I'll die happy.
Ulthirm
Lol they'd need to change their habits on ui too.
hailchaserdfw
Not a cure but a good remedy is cbd oil..
HumansArePrettyNeat
Imagine how good the retirement home will be when you and all your buddies are constantly stoned off retirement grade legal weed.
TossABabyYodaToYourWitcher
Nonstop weed and video games. Sounds like heaven
HumansArePrettyNeat
It'll be a glorious regression to teenagers we once were. Some dick bag downvoted you btw bud.

I get a lot of good from black current extract and tumeric.

26 and I'm starting to get carpal tunnel pains. Really puts a cramp on my PC gaming...
bendap
The key to avoiding carpal tunnel is to keep your wrist straight. Keep your keyboard flat, don't use a wrist wrest and consider your posture
lyneeth
Ive moved my keyboard further away from me, and rest my forearm om my desk. Can feel the difference already.
bachpad
Improve your ergonomics. Raise chair height and move the keyboard to the edge of the table so your wrists don't lay on applying pressure /1
bachpad
a vitamin B12 & D deficiency. Taking supplements drastically reduced pain and discomfort. /3
bachpad
also go to a neurologist and get tested for carpal tunnel. I was initially diagnosed but tests came back negative and it was just /2
