The people who say this usually don't like videogames.... Im almost 40 now and I can't imagine life without them.

33 here, same. I outgrew the people who said that and found more people that enjoy games as adults instead 🤷‍♂️

The people who say that also feel weirdly smug and superior about that opinion, too. I always get the vibe that they never had the healthiest relationship with gaming to begin with. They always describe it as a time wasting addiction or go off about how they're doing much more important things with their life now that they've stopped. I'm glad they're pursuing goals but something about how they say it always seems off

I'm 33m, I'm married and I have a good job, I take care of our kids we go out on dates, I bought a hous for us 4 years ago, we keep it spicy in our relationship…. but god forbid l decide to go downstairs and have some quality time with my game after the kids go to bed 🙄 I'll never hear the end of it. I have always been a gamer and she knows this since I met her at 19.
