"As of 2016, the average age for a video game player is 35, a number slowly increasing as people who were children playing the first arcade, console and home computer games continue playing now on current systems. The gender distribution of gamers is reaching equilibrium, according to a 2016 study showing that 59% of gamers are male and 41% female.,As of 2011 ESA reported that 71% of people age six to forty-nine in the U.S. played video games, with 55% of gamers playing on their phones or mobile devices. The average age of players across the globe is mid to late 20s, and is increasing as older players grow in numbers."

Huh

I guess video games ruined Gen X then

NEETism is real.

nowadays i usually just want something kind of mindless to play while i listen to altright podcasts. the crash remakes and sonic mania have been good to me

There are a lot of things that contribute to nihilism. Not having any connection to your ancestors is a big cause in my opinion.

@Wraff a lot of gen x didn't have kids either.

@Odalman the thing with vidya is it creates this false world for these people to live in so they dont have to face reality.

Sure, I agree.

Reality sucks, scantily-clad Final Fantasy girls are so much nicer to look at

Not gonna share my age, but I'm up there

Young enough to have grown up with an NES

My first system was an atari 2600.

poorfag

LOL

I was poor, yes.

Although the NES was fucking overpriced

It was given to me by some close family friends. After that my mom bought me an SNES. All my friends had a NES.

SNES was fucking great

Ps2 master race

It had the most games

I was on the PC by then with a Gamecube for console titles I wanted

Then Playstation, PS2, Xbox, and then in my early teens I started PC gaming. So late 90's early 00's.

Pc master race. lol

Pong

I never stopped PC gaming after the 00s, but my interest was declining by 2010

Got into a rut and palyed very few new games

Got addicted to paradox strategy games for a while

>TFW a happy console peasent tending to my from software garden.
