why does it feel like every regular here is in their 30s and 40s
One would think that a forum in a video game platform would be mostly teenagers
my guess: you can't easily post easily brainrot and you can't doomscroll for content. But that's what young people are addicted to

There are people of all ages here. Youngest I know is 17 and the oldest I know (who is older than my dad) is 56.
Dunno. There’s a one year old that made a post not too long ago.
Actual forums were really common in the early 2000s

People of that age have fond memories of this form of communication.

Once I knew that some 13 yo was a regular here, but that was 10 years ago.
Video Games have been around for literally as long as digital computers have.

Alan Turing himself is said to have been working on a chess program at the time of his death.

During the days of ENIAC and mainframes, computer scientists were known to goof around programming simple blackjack numbers games and simple tennis games using hacked oscilloscopes and radar screens for display.

Ralph Baer is acknowledged as the father of modern video games, with his "brown box" prototype of what would become the Maganox Odyssey, which Nolan Bushnell shamelessly ripped off when he released "Pong."

The home console market collapsed in 1983, though the disastrous Atari port of Pac Man was more responsible than E.T. was, contrary to popular belief. But home computers carried on just fine through that crisis, with the text adventure and early graphical adventure genres.
There's also many paralegals, lawyers, doctors, scientists and millionaires here. The bar has been set VERY high for admission to this prestigious landscape...

I had a brain fart. I thought you said you know someone that was 13 and known each other for 10 years. So that means you were talking to him since he was 3. Lmfaoooo!!!!

Apple might be an anticonsumer joke now, but it was my privilege to be at ground zero during the golden age of MECC, and every classroom had at least one Apple II or IIe.

I wouldn't be surprised if a large percentage of PC players are around that demographic. However, gaming as a whole these days is super mainstream, so all ages play it.

aging population and all, that makes sense. not enough children to replace the current population of gamers. But kids are much more active on the internet than adults...

I don't know what that means, but thank you.

I also played the ♥♥♥♥ out of The Game of Life on Windows 98.
