    Oh, yah. Millennials are going to be so different from every generation that existed before.

    I thought about this, but arthritis is a thing sadly. It’s probably fine for non action games, but forget about playing smash

      The older I get (40’s now), the more I think about how I probably won’t be able to fully enjoy video games like I thought i would. My vision which was always perfect is starting to show issues already, whenever I pick up a game I almost always nod off or fall asleep within an hour or 2 and almost nothing prevents it. My hands will sometimes lose sensation and I have to drop my hand down and stretch it to regain feeling… I feel like I’ll be like that guy in the twilight zone who outlived everyone and was finally able to read all the books he ever wanted but then immediately stepped on his glasses.

      Yeah smash destroys the hands of 30 years olds in the scene.

      What I’m looking forward to in retirement is finally cracking into games like Dwarf Fortress, Factorio, and Caves of Qud

        Don’t forget about the commune of trans girls who will also weirdly be into Hearts of Iron and Warhammer 40k

        Now you mention it, I would like to die taking some fascists with me, rather than from some suck ass old age pathology. Now I have way too much to loose, but in my old age, I’m going to be dead anyways, so why not. Maybe we see a rise in Luigis

    Well, hopefully those wealthy millennials will enjoy their distractions, homes, and retirement while the rest of us are dropped into the industrial grinders they use to reclaim the nutrients from our bodies.

      Boomers are starting to become homeless. Their kids the millennials will have it worse, as most millennials can’t afford a starter home. Retirement will look like homelessness for many of them.

    We have a collection of millennials and Gen z at our retirement home as staff. (Ofc)

    We joke about this but it is put in place by us saying we’d also have to be picking up shifts to even live there. It would have to be a sort of inmates running the asylum situation because we’re all working til we’re in the ground.

    Maybe The Elder Scrolls 7 or Grand Theft Auto 7 will be out by the time I retire. Probably not. Weird that both those games have their 6th installments coming out next.
