All your friends and foes,
they thought they knew ya,
but look who's in your heart now.
When is it okay to sell all of my video games and get a real hobby like sports, or tv, I'm wondering?

Objectively speaking, OP, video games are always a complete waste of time. It's more about how little time you have to waste, than how old you get.

when gamers go senile they will spout out random gibberish about MOBA meta and nerfs, aeris/aerith debates and gaben to all the nurses and grandchildren before they get their sedatives

Where does it hurt?
My dad still plays Halo really badly

I gave him a copy of Portal and he made two portals and tried really hard to catch the person he saw in the portal and I felt really loving bad

i also gave him rise of the triad and he doesn't play it which makes me feel bad because he got me into rise of the triad as a kid

My dad got me into playing The Halley Project for our Apple IIc as a little kid. So now when I play Kerbal Space Program it's almost like we're pals and haven't been completely estranged for the past decade! :toot:
