You said it was about time, not money or a disability. The vast majority of games do not cost $80. Cutscenes can be skipped if you're in a rush, a Let's Play doesnt change this.

Almost none of this has anything to do with your age.

This makes no sense to me. If you have time to watch someone play, you have time to play a game.

*Most annoying thing about being 30 years old is how the internet acts like we're deep in our 70's

Edit button plz BlueSky!

That's how I understood it too, but in that context it still makes no sense.

If your time is valuable, why would you spend it on watching someone play? Playing it yourself seems more valuable if you miss playing games so much.

I think the issue is that they are just burned out on videogames.

Oh Jesus I didn't even see that somehow lol

Likewise, sort of! My enjoyment for videogames hasn't changed at all as I grew older. The only thing that changed is my taste in what genre I prefer.

It probably helps how we both have a pretty diverse list of genres we are interested in. I cannot imagine playing nothing but shooters for instance.

People in their 50s are still doing DOOM UV Pistol Starts in slaughter maps like it's nothing.

Either start doing some physical exercise or take a break from videogames entirely because there is no way you are 'too old' to enjoy a game.

Okay that's fair. I'm 33 now and it's slowly creeping its way in.

And yes I am aware it's AI slop.

For fuck sake you're still young.

With Microsoft investing 40 billion in A.I, I fear of what is going to happen with these wonderfully photographed backgrounds.

Whoever at Microsoft is curating their wallpaper selection deserves a raise.

I always doubt humans. But I never doubt Speedrunners.

@kevkildnotif.bsky.social insane run. Well played!

It takes me 8 hours just to reach the end of EA and that's without going for 100%.

Insanity!

You’re telling me someone 100% Selaco on the hardest difficulty UNDER TWO HOURS?!

Excuse me!?

Also, game developers:

Stop adding damn limits to how many bombs can be thrown! People are totally accepting of frame drops if it means having fun.

I cannot wait for Selaco to be done because it's one of the most remarkable games in existence

So far there are three options:

-> Sequential (detonating in order of when they were thrown)
-> Random
-> All at once

Bombs aren't affected by explosions

I don't play Selaco on Steam during development, so I do not think that works for me :(

When I made the launch trailer for Selaco I had to retake a whole bunch of clips because of it.

Terrible. No idea how this is still a problem after so many years.

Yessss same here - except with Duke Nukem Time to Kill

Pipe bombs would respawn in Deathmatch mode, so my brother and I would throw them into a central area for quite a while, then detonate and watch a sequence of explosions for like a minute. The more performance tanked the harder we laughed.

Half-Life behavior is available!

Also Simultaneous is an awful word to write as a non-English speaker.

I've spent too long giving myself infinite ammo and littering the level with bombs.

This is how I spent most of my time in Duke Nukem: Time To Kill lol

Selaco is getting REMOTE BOMBS!

AKA the weapon that makes me feel like a child.

Hooray, we have our own sign at the building!

This is the cutest thing ev -- NO!

Not enough people appreciate the carpet physics I had to manually draw into the level :(
