(okay, not really. It's a brief comedy skit about a guy realizing
games he enjoyed in his youth are now considered old. I found it
amusing. But it's games that aren't new, and I didn't want to start an
entirely new post just for the link, so I'm sticking it here ;-)

just because I'm long past the point where I've realized all the
things I've enjoyed in the past are considered long out of date.
Nowadays I'm more surprised when things I liked are still enjoyed by
youngsters.  ;-)

Gaming in your 30s? Really? Try gaming after 45, when all your twitch
skills have completely left you and you can't beat the AI in a button
mashing contest any more.

I'm 51 and still have my twitch.  It requires nothing more unusual than practice.  I was showing off in Street Fighter V to my black friend Louis Shields then he said "okay then, win it with Dhalsim," and I took out Dhalsim and proceeded to tear that whole town down.
