I really don’t see any reason why modern video games should be seen as a less legitimate form of entertainment than movies or sports.

Do what you want to do and don't give a frick what anyone else thinks about it except maybe your boss and the police. But if you have enough money, then don't worry about them either.

I think the reason older people don’t think adults should play video games is because they didn’t grow up and experience the highly immersive and impressive form of entertainment that they’ve become


This is why Gen X dominates

We know how awesome Doom was on Ps1

We played CFB back in 2008

We know being outside with friends, enemies and strangers is better than it all

I'm 42. Play Gran Turismo 7 all the time.

I think games have evolved from games to sims.

Cool. I don't have time to play video games, because I'm a man. I'm 40.


So being a man means having no hobbies, and working 16 hours a day then going straight to sleep?

That sounds miserable.

I've been playing Panzer GeneraI II, on and off, for 20 years. Something about blowing up Nazis never gets old...

Possibly.

They also shouldn’t pretend to be women, but here we are.

Grown men should do anything they want to do if it doesn't hurt anyone else.

Bought a ps5 just for the ncaa game.




I've thought about it for just that reason but I'm going to wait and buy the newest model when the next Elder Scrolls game comes out. There might be several upgrades before then.

I feel like some people have no time management. I still have time to watch movies with wife, take kids to sports, lift weights, prep for next day, Kids HW, golf, hunt, travel, shoot guns, and take care of my 1000 acres of land, and be competitive in ranked FPS games.
