The Truth About Gaming When You Get Older (Gaming at 48)

Описание: Retro gaming at 48 hits different than it did at 21. In this video I talk about why classic games have become my go-to over modern titles, how gaming has changed as I've gotten older, and the unexpected loneliness that comes with being a retro gamer when all your friends live far away.

I cover everything from losing my Outrun world record and getting demolished in Street Fighter 6, to why modern gaming features like hand holding, live service games, and digital ownership feel completely disconnected from gamers in our age group. I also talk about why the NEO GEO AES Plus has me more excited than anything in modern gaming right now.

This is not just a rant about modern games. It is an honest look at how my relationship with gaming has evolved, why pick up and play arcade style experiences matter more to me now than ever, and why I think older gamers want to get back to basics.

If you grew up gaming in the 80s and 90s and still have a controller in your hand, this one is for you.
