Wait, you guys get to retire?
My retirement plan is 10 grams of lead
Real (real)
Ahh the old “Smith & Wesson Retirement Plan”
4 bars and some fenty. Nu fuss, no muss.

I’m gonna turn my on / off switch to “off”.
I plan to build up my retirement fund to buy my medication for a month and then we’ll take it from there
I’ve got 27 years until I am old enough to get my pension.
26 to the month for me. assuming they don’t change it again
I choose the Kurt Cobain retirement.
You think people our age will be able to afford to retire? Ha.
That’s something the boomers and upper classes took with them.
You think people our age will reach retirement age? Ha.
Boomers and gen X are the ones not able to retire. Most of the younger generations have that ability.
Retiring doesn’t seem like an option from my perspective… Better start gaming now
I knew gentleman that was 100 (he literally turned 100 the year I met him). He was one of the most sharp people at the retirement home; I think a lot of it was the fact he loved the internet and gaming.
Edit: If any of you are history nerds with a good concept of time, you may have thought of something:
HE SAW CIVIL WAR VETERANS; HE WAS THAT OLD. I say “saw” because he only ever saw them in parades, never spoke to them. I asked him if they let the confederates on the floats and he just laughed and said “no” (I wish people had that common sense nowadays) . He also thought I was asking if he FOUGHT in the civil war, so that got a good laugh out of him aswell. Cool dude all around. He used to give me a lot of shit, but now he’s just another grandpa to me.
It makes you wonder how much things have actually really changed under the surface when you realize that it’s only their great grandkids that are still in charge of things today.
Minorities in many parts of the south don’t have to wonder
Exactly… 😟
I hope people aren’t counting on playing games that require fast reaction speeds. If your jam is turn-based games you’re in luck, you should be good to 100. But, if you’re a competitive online gamer, you’re in for a rude shock if you think you’re going to retire and compete against the 20-somethings.
Every competitive game has a ranking system. I do not see any issue playing and trying to improve, just reduce your expectations.
A lot of 20 year olds are trash in a lot of competitive games
Or just set up a private server and play against the other people in the retirement home.
It’s not just reaction time that interferes wirh us old folks gaming, it’s developers insistence on making game mechanics as uncomfortable as possible. I just don’t have the stamina or flexibility to spend 15 minutes fighting some insanely difficult boss fight over multiple stages while constantly mashing buttons.
I think there should be an “Experienced gamer” difficulty level where the rest of the game is normal difficulty level, but the boss fights are less of an endurance challenge.
Most games aren’t competitive though or even require twitch reflexes.
I would probably party all day.
Well not all day. I also need a pause to regenerate and stuff. Also it’s not fun doing it all the time
What do you mean by “party”?
If the gaming industry survive till then.
🙄👌👍
