  • I don’t think there is a cutoff.

    My 80yo grandfather still pulls out the gamecube to play Mario Kart (and for a long time noone else could beat him). My grandmother before she passed was not really big on video games but would play one specific level of crash bandicoot over and over again.

    My 45~yo mother streams minecraft in her free time and is even looking to start up a YouTube channel with more content. Some of her viewers are close to her age and when she was playing more Counter Strike than Minecraft the server she played on had adults of all ages on it.

    I’m getting closer to 30 every year and I can’t see myself ever quitting games. If/when I marry I imagine playing games will just be part of family bonding. I may get worse as I age like my grandfather but I doubt I’ll ever stop.










  • I’m new here but if I stick around long enough I’ll probably get up my own server/instance(s) for the various parts of the fediverse I participle in. Mostly because it sounds neat and partially because it would allow other people I know to have a fediverse “home” operated by a familiar face (if the fediverse gets popular among the mainstream).

    Right now it’s just Lemmy, but I may eventually participate in Mastodon, Matrix, Peertube, Owncast and.

    I’m going to wait first though to see if the Lemmy userbase (and platform) remains healthy and/or grows. Then would come the hard part of setup, I’m familiar with technology, but nowhere near a professional or a hobbyist (unless you count gaming).
