I'm getting there myself... I'm still desperately trying to hold onto something that was such a major part of my teens and early twenties, but it is slowly getting harder and harder.  I find a total lack of interest with most new games and games that I still like to play online frustrate me to no end because I suck so much.  I remember planning my next pc build, but now I doubt I'll ever build it :/

The only game I want to play is Hearthstone..   Obviously I can't play it, because it's too addicting..


All other games, I just watch the youtube..

Aren't there bots for Hearthstone?

Just think, you could eat all the bean dip and drink all the Monster energy drinks you want while you watch the bot pWN n00bs.

I just looked into this..

If I build a face hunting deck, the best bot will get me to the 100 gold per day.. '

so that's 300 days so I'll have enough cards to fight the top tier people..

If I leave a low power PC on that's 60watts with the bot and game running.. 24/7.. 300 days..

$1.29 a day @ 18cents/kilowatt... $389 for 300 days of botting.. OR pay $350 to buy the cards



This would only make sense if the bot can operate on the computer I'm already using..

You know you're getting old when you keep losing the old threads.

All three of which, btw, were created by tp4.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Donald Trump starts reminding you of George Wallace
"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

This is why I've been getting into retro games. At least they can get me to stay hooked and they're familiar.

Also, I used to think we were old when we started having children in our mid-twenties. Where we live now we're one of the youngest parents. So that helps me to feel young again.

I tried retro,  it's hard because they're fun for like 30 minutes,  then you extrapolate the time cost to continued play, and the rewards.. Then it turns into an adult moment, and you wake up from the fantasy that you could afford to be so carefree..

Well, that's my experience anyway. You may have better luck.

It's kind of cool to find a spot in a vintage game that I could never figure out and look up the information online.

This is why I've been getting into retro games. At least they can get me to stay hooked and they're familiar.

Also, I used to think we were old when we started having children in our mid-twenties. Where we live now we're one of the youngest parents. So that helps me to feel young again.


I tried retro,  it's hard because they're fun for like 30 minutes,  then you extrapolate the time cost to continued play, and the rewards.. Then it turns into an adult moment, and you wake up from the fantasy that you could afford to be so carefree..

Well, that's my experience anyway. You may have better luck.

There are definitely some retro games that are difficult to get into. I personally was never good at 2D fighters and shooters, and still am not. I give them a whirl, but find myself rage-quitting after twenty minutes.
Racing, platformers, and RPGs were and still are my jam. I love the brawlers, too, but they don't make them anymore. Definitely a genre of the past.
