Older gamers

[Lilseph]

34 here, played through every single Final Fantasy.
Can't say I feel lonely, have an amazing FC of adults.
Except they don't always behave like adults.

I feel attacked.

I was expecting you to be older from the title haha. I am almost 29. Feel free to friend me if we see each other in duty etc. I'm kinda in the same boat, my FC is lovely but most chat in discord and I am not always able to do so.

I’m 35 myself

By the sounds of it, seems like we should make a linkshell or something for the more mature gamers to hangout in, do duties etc

There is a fourth then. I'm God and my Miqo'te is just a doll I play with like a puppeeter. Some kind of eye candy too

Have you read the description fer the Wind-up Cursor minion? Anyways, as a Miqo-girl I feel like it is my duty to not only be eye candy, but to be absolutely ridiculous doin it. My solution is to sometimes cosplay Velma from Scooby Doo in game, particularly in the DF or where ppl don know me. I find stuff like that to be a great ice breaker too durin harder content. Suffice to say the reactions have been positive xD. I also keep the Summer Halter on my glam plate fer that one FC mate who makes fun of catgirls all the time....at least I haven got a long neck >.>

Most of the active members of my FC are in their 30s now, with a couple of us pushing 40.

Guess I'm at the far end of the age bell curve.

My first console was an Atari 2600 - I have one that still works.
First computer game was Colossal Cave on a PDP-10.
Started gaming playing Avalon Hill blitzkrieg.
Been gaming ever since. Hah.

Oki, so...erryone weighed in on their firs console, how about us PC players...first beige box? Mine was a Tandy 1000TX (for home, Da brought it home all proud xD) and at school we was usin Apple IIE. Home PC was quickly upgraded wit a 44meg HDD which had to be broke into 2 partitions, you poor, poor 8 bit bus you. Played various computer games of the time, mostly of the Sierra variety

(Edit) To add, I also got a Commodore 64 later on for about $5 at a garage sale that included EVERYTHING, monitor, 2 floppy drives, even a tape drive! Many hours of copying code from the included books into the machine so I could pay various games. Spoiled rotten kid I thought switching disks and typing executables was hard xD

Thanks! And yeah likewise, if you recognise my character's name feel free to add. I'm not great with names and often forget them. XD I'll try remember though!

That would be super useful. Shame we can't add friends on the lodestone site... would make things easier.

An AST brand PC clone in the late 80s. My parents bought it for work, but I got to use it too. Besides playing games I started learning programming at the tender age of 4. That turned into a hobby and eventually into a profession.

The first one I bought with (mostly) my own money was a self-built machine in 1999. It had a 333 MHz Celeron CPU, 64 MB RAM, an S3 graphics card, a 3.2 GB hard disk and a CD-ROM drive.
