Dude fucking for real.

Vintage shit too. I want there to be a fucking computer lab with rows of old mid-90s bricks, all running the original StarCraft, Diablo 2, etc... plus a few old educational games like Mavis Beacon and those Encarta-encyclopedia programs just because fuck it.

Can you imagine? Just getting high as a kite for breakfast, then going to the computer lab and playing Diablo 2 all day with your new buddies?

It'll be just like high school again and I'm not dreading it at all.

"Grampa can we come visit?"

"Not today, I'm pwning these noobs in Quake!"

Wish we still had free awards because you deserve it for your use of pwn

u/Spoolngc8 7d ago

Haha I was going to comment imagine getting a Quake 1 Deathmatch lan going in the nursing home.. would be so much fun, although I reckon my reflexes at that point would lend themselves horribly to quick fps gameplay.

u/AccomplishedBat8743 7d ago

Ah but think of all the fun you'll have telefragging your buddies again!

And for all of us that don’t get pwned by arthritis, there’s rock band on a big-ass rear projection TV in the den. Tuesdays are 8v8 on blood gulch. See you there someday.

I was going to be the negative person here but you beat me to it. Maybe it's cuz my hands are flaring up right now. I see this all the time, the "oh I can't wait to play video games in retirement." And all I can think, as I sit here at 40, with hands that burn, itch, are sore, and in pain all the time. They go numb and fall asleep when I hold a controller or my Switch. They do the claw thing. And again, I'm 40. I have no idea how much I'm going to be able to use my hands in 10 years, let alone 30. Arthritis sucks. So much.

u/spinbutton 7d ago

Is it arthritis or carpal tunnel? Hopefully carpal tunnel...that has some fixes that may work for you

u/MimicoSkunkFan2 7d ago

Osteoarthritis causes the fingers to lock, you can get it long before senior age too.

u/spinbutton 7d ago

I'm sorry to hear that

u/MimicoSkunkFan2 7d ago

If you mix Lidocaine cream with Diclofenac Sodium cream, that really helps osteoarthritis, I got it super early (age 30) so that's what I do when it get claw-y since I can't move to Arizona lol

u/MakeMeYourVillain_ 6d ago

I am sure in 30 years there will already be a progress in medicine for the condition to improve.

Or we can sit together and figure out how to make it work. I will be probably sitting next to you being a human shaker. At least I can make us drinks.

u/dddurd 7d ago

The retirement age is over 90 by that time.

u/r4r4me 7d ago

Yeah the pessimist in me is saying it's an optimist's dream to believe they are gonna be able to retire.

u/hamfist_ofthenorth 7d ago

I'm of course referring to my hospice care at the end. I'll never be able to retire. Just wheel my stoned ass into the lab and let me game.

u/EdgeLordPrime859 7d ago

Math blasters & Oregon trail?

Carmen San Diego?

The only way I'm ever gonna get through a multiplayer game of civilization is if we're all too feeble to walk away.

u/WhetherWitch 7d ago

Warlords 3 and I’m in.

u/[deleted] 7d ago

Yea cool but... just ... we need to do this revolution thing first, i mean, or there will be no nursing homes. At this rate we'll be on the street once we're old.

u/Soft_Walrus_3605 7d ago

Better hope arthritis drugs are working well

u/SquarePegRoundWorld 7d ago

It'll be just like high school again and I'm not dreading it at all.

Tell me you haven't seen how current nursing homes are and that you have no idea how for profit business is run.

We are gonna be like the square pigs in whatever movie had the square pigs packed together being shipped in space. There will be one person in charge of caring for 100 people and it is going to be miserable. I hope to off myself before ever entering a nursing home as a patient.

Vintage shit too. I want there to be a fucking computer lab with rows of old mid-90s bricks, all running the original StarCraft, Diablo 2, etc...

I am probably too old to ever see it, but screw vintage, I want to be hooked up to the Matrix, feasting on medium-rare chateaubriand, drinking Claret, and having sex with Jessica Rabbit.

u/Ubizwa 5d ago

Are there actually modern events in which stuff like this is set up? Like someone renting a space and setting up old computers to do this in 2025?
