I’m really sick of the age thing when it comes to gaming. Tons of middle-aged and older men spend hours watching sportsball every week, but nobody gives them shit.
I overheard a probably-55 yo guy saying something about playing Assassin’s Creed this morning. Games are for everybody.
I was watching youtube yesterday, and some elderly 72 year old gamer actually came up… https://www.youtube.com/c/GrandpaGaming
So definitely. He was also part of the Navy for 20+ years… People like this and walz actually give me a whole new respect for the people in the military honestly. In the past I actually pictured it as incredibly toxic due to someone I met from the Army.
But, at least in the case of the Navy, everyone I’ve met or heard about are so incredibly honorable and respectful… They’re literally normal people
God yes…
Here in Australia everyone watches the AFL (Aussie Footy).
We had a customer who was a major footy player, and it was obvious he was surrounded by “yes men” his whole life. I watched as everyone around me started laughing at everything he said the moment he stepped in the room…
What he was saying at the time really wasn’t that hilarious honestly…
And it reminds me of the time we got a phone call from danii minogues family to tell us a “special guest” was coming to our store. The room was full of a bunch of nerds. None of us really cared (even if it was Kylie) lol… None of us even recognised her. Even my audio engineer friend who works with good celebrities (like she’s worked with Tim Minchin) just sees them as normal people (and yeah, she’s a gamer)
Yet I guarantee, lots of people super into celebs dislike gamers.
That wasnt their point and ya damned well know it. Ya aint being quirky youre being obnoxious.
