37 Guilty as charged
38 and still gaming regularly on PC.
Every time I visit my dad he's still playing Empire Deluxe
37 and sitting on my Mass Effect 3 run number…I can’t remember actually. Maybe I should go back to the Elden Ring DLC.
40 here. Minecraft is my main but I play others too, like Horizon 5, balders gate 3, stardew valley (mad respect for the Dev), and a few others. I gave up cod after warzone came out.
I'm 36 and am currently taking a restroom break from a good old-fashioned LAN party with my dudes.
I have a 10, 2 and 1 year old and none of em are havin kids yet so I got some time.
I’ve been playing video games for probably around 46 years. Let’s just say they’ve changed a little in that time.
30s are not old, just more magical powered!! The 20s need submissed!!
I feel old playing TF2 these days. I still don't know what "skibidi" means.

Don't tell me we have lost control!!
I haven’t been playing a lot lately, but today I connected my VR headset back up so my nephew could play it. I think it’s going to pull me back in for a little bit. It’s tethered to my PC but it has oled panels with great contrast (og Samsung odyssey). It’s been years since I used it, so some of the captivating novelty felt like it was back.
I played almost nothing but VR games in ‘18-‘19, including a 200 hour Skyrim VR play through. I do not tire of it as quickly as most, and I even still have to play through the second half of HL Alyx.
I’m in my mid 40s. Those of us in The Oregon Trail Generation got to watch video games grow up alongside us. Old pong and Atari games already exist, then the NES comes out when you’re in kindergarten or first grade. You read about the SNES in Nintendo Power later in elementary school before it hits. Then the N64 comes out when you’re a teenager, and if you’re lucky you can drive yourself to the store to marvel at Mario 64 at a kiosk in the electronics section.
And that’s just Nintendo. There was a whole different kind of progression on the computer side.
