Older gamers

57, mouse and keyboard, raid 3 nights/week and play more than I should on weekends. Best thing is when my mouse needed to be replaced the sales guy at the store made a comment about how he wished his mother would buy that model for him. My reply: "This is for me, not my son... now where do you stock the 1080s? I think I want to upgrade my card too and raid starts at 9 so this has to be fast." Made a new friend that day.

This is an older post, but I JUST FOUND the forum today, and I've enjoyed reading. Trying to get caught up. I'm 52, and not only am I new to FFXIV, I'm new to MMOs. Learned a lot the past six weeks but now I can carry quite a convo with my adult son who's been playing since jr high. I felt the need to find others who were "older" and social. Still looking for a FC and/or Discord.

I'm 44 and have been playing games since the Odyssey II was a thing! I bought my copy of the first NES Final Fantasy at the store when it came out! LOL! Just reading that makes me feel old! This is my first MMO though I started playing it when it launched on PS4. But took a break during Heavensward. I just got back into it this past Christmas when I built my PC and it's consumed my life! Thank God I'm single with no kids and a 9-5 job so I can play all I want! It's great to see other older folks on here! Gaming truly is for everyone!

I'd love to find a GF that didn't mind me gaming as much as I do. I stream too so I'm usually on every evening after work. The last two "said they didn't mind" but when it came down to it, it was an issue. I'm to old stubborn, and set in my ways to change! So maybe a gamer GF is what I need! Wish there was a single gamer app out there! LOL!
