Nah, I only use video games as an escape from life between work and existential loneliness. I'll have graduated to killing myself by then

If I get to that point. Absolutely.
I don't think I will ever drop vidya at all.

what's even the fucking point
in the US you can officially retire as early as 62, life expectancy 75
what the fuck do you do for a little more than a decade with a destroyed decaying body getting scraps from the government?

I'm 37 now and need one more year to reach the 20 military retirement marker. By age 62, I'll have two pensions and several homes i can rent out. I'll live off the income you're paying me. I'll travel the world a bit more and die happy. Of course that is if i make it to 62, if I die in the next year because of some jewish fuckery, then my family gets my nearly $1 million in life insurance benefits and my nearly paid off homes i currently own (less than $100 k left to pay on both)

>>712635576 (OP)
Oh yeah, this is one of the things I would keep doing until the day I die.

>>712636292
Take care of your body numbnuts. I know people in their 70s that are still doing triathlons

>>712636896
God I fucking hate that shit. It’s not fair. 20 easy years and you get a life of luxury and excess. We really need to spread the wealth.

>>712636896
>I'll live off the income you're paying me.
nope
I will just leech on gibs and fap to anime girls

Yup. Better than just letting my mind rot away in a retirement home.

Assuming I even get to retire, of course.

>>712636896
sure hope you live to see/enjoy it anon!

yes, they will find my mummified corpse sitting in front of my battle station with GTA X hyper simulation still running months after i had passed away.

>>712637191
It's a bit ironic because the military was a last ditch attempt for me to get my life on track since I fucked off during high school. Now I see my friends from back then with massive debt while the army paid for me to attend college and I'm close to retirement #1

>>712637415
Yeah that strikes a bit close to home. I did the conventional “right” path. College(debt) and house…no end in sight to the debt…and I die a little inside every monthly payment…

>>712635576 (OP)
>retire
I'll never be able to retire, I'll never own a home and I'll never get married so it's not like there's anything else to do.
If I don't kill myself at 60 for some reason, I'll probably still play games when I'm old and infirm because I won't be physically capable of traveling or doing much else. Assuming also I'm not so demented from the Alzheimers I get from my parent's and grandparents that I can even remember how to play them in the first place.

>>712635576 (OP)
Fuck yeah, Fate. Spear best weapon.

>>712635576 (OP)
I have this harrowing feeling that we're going to start seeing an uptick in elderly streamers and content creators because no one will be able to afford to retire, at least in the US.

But to answer your question, yes. I'll keep playing games until I literally can't anymore.

>>712635576 (OP)
I haven't been into video games in a decade. I just have nothing else.

People born in the 80's/90's/00's/10's won't ever retire.

>>712636896
Sorry mate, looks like you'll be needed in Iran.

>>712638029

I think we will hit a breaking point. What will happen then?

>>712635576 (OP)
I have a boomer neighbor who just retired and he looks bored out of his mind everyday, he sits around, sweeps the streets five times a day and trying to find something to do.

>>712638272
Blackouts.

>>712635576 (OP)
probably. video games keep the brain healthy, as far as dementia stuff is related

>>712638203
Oh no, my family gets my life insurance and nearly paid off homes. Whatever will i do besides freely kill other humans and potentially die myself? Surely, I won't be happy getting to pull the trigger and mow down helpless human beings or push a button to have air support rain down fire... woe is me.

>>712635576 (OP)
I hope so

lol, look how old this guy is, he looks 40 at least! fucking geezer

>>712638368
this is what happens when your only hobby is your job

>>712638272
Riots and civil wars for sure.

>>712638272
>breaking point
you misunderstand the direction this is going. Many people are already working part time jobs and "gig" jobs in addition to full time work to get by, retirement is just going to go away. Retirement as a concept is fairly new and was only possible in incredibly good economic conditions. Wealthy business owners will do their best to persuade people that working forever is normal and better they don't need to retire, so when they can't they won't be as mad about it. American politicians have been bought out by corporations, they won't fight for higher wages to help people retire, they'll keep fighting gay culture wars to keep you distracted from the fact that you keep getting poorer.

>>712638446
I can’t wait for AOC to get elected and fix the inequality. I look forward to each of trump’s madness swings cause I know the payback will be even more severe.

>>712637415
>I'm gonna work for 40 years and retire

Yeah sounds really successful and innovative DEFINTELY not what everybody else does

Jesus Christ you're 37 with a family and posting on 4chan.....People like you are insane. If your so successful scrap the 2nd career plan and spend some actual time with your family. Is 1 pension and the homes not enough you greedy fuck? Wouldn't you rather spend time with your wife and kids???

>>712638736
it's so funny that some shitlibs actually think the spic waitress is going to do more for the economy than the millionaire business man

>>712635576 (OP)
Will games even be good then?

>>712636896
It’s pretty nuts all the benefits military people get. My grandfather fought in WW2 and although he passed away early my grandma had so many survivor benefits both in free money and also everything medical pretty much covered. She passed away during covid but she got free paid for burial too next to grandpa. She lived it up and you should live it up too senpai. If you have kids they’ll be set up for life, the life insurance payout is insane.

>>712638368
Introduce him to /v/, anon

>>712635576 (OP)
My dad played games until his death. He was successful and had a large social circle. If your not hiding from reality, playing games 12 hours a day, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with playing video games.

>>712638906
This is the most unhinged post I've read all week. I pray for your soul, if you continue down this path, you will have a very difficult and dark life.

>>712635576 (OP)
i don't think i'll really be into video games 5 years from now, let alone 30.

>>712638906
The time I do get off is spent entirely with my family. Thanks for the reminder though, I need to get my family out to the lake this weekend. Still going to do the second career though and have it military centric.
>People like you are insane
This isn't the first time I've been told this and at this point I expect to hear it more often.
As for the 40 years of work, I'll have two pensions and I'm not trying to be innovative or anything else. Simply trying to plan out my future

>>712635576 (OP)

It's the one thing I'm looking for about old age.

>>712637301

Always thought this girl was some airhead talking about inane shit.

Boy, was I wrong.

Bold of you to think the concept of retirement will exist in a couple of dozen years

>>712637845
You're making sense and I don't like it.

Or Two Point hospital?

>>712646769
I'm honestly afraid that whatever comes after is worse than this.

I'm in my 30s and already got tired of games.

>>712646993
what you’re tired if is life and being a miserable faggot. its not just video games which does not bring you joy, it’s waking up every morning seething at existence which is your problem.
I am 100% correct otherwise you wouldn’t be voicing your sad opinion in this shithole.

My Dad was playing World at War, War Thunder and MW1 modded servers up until his death. Dude had lost partial sight in his left eye from multiple strokes so he had to turn his head to see clearly. Still could frag like a motherfucker.

Still remember the time during an all-nighter at a netcafe where the whole place was in one big BF1942 Desert Combat server and I kept spawn killing him with a M2 Bradley and being a little annoying shit talking trash. Dad dragged my ass off the computer outside of the shop and smacked my ass.

I miss him ;_;

i want a job but cant get one despite applying and tailoring my resume to each one. everyone is complaining about men not working these days and still living with their parents but its not my fault

zoomers won't be retiring or getting gibs (social security), boomers will have totally sucked the system dry and crashed it by then

>>712635576 (OP)
I better be dead long before that.....

>>712655612
No anon you don't understand, all you have to do is give the manager a firm handshake and he'll give you a job that'll totally allow you to buy a house and support a family on a single income on 40 hours a week. You millennials/zoomers are just lazy.

>>712639001
it's funny, if you're 38 or older you've seen it all and there are no interesting games to look forward to.

The only way gaming stays relevant to us ancient fags is if ai allows us to create what we want. Otherwise gaming will only be for the brain dead. See the sooner generation

>>712646857
I wonder about that too. Would suck ass if true

>>712656885
This has nothing to do with age, anon, newer releases suck ass and you're jaded. Pay some attention to your backlog, play something you haven't or replay an old classic. There's still fun to be had

You sweet summer child, I've been retired since I was 28 and I'm now 32. I play 200+ games a year on my 4090 7800x3d build. Married too, kek. Not having kids though, fuck that.

>>712635576 (OP)
probably not, i don't even enjoy them now...

>>712635576 (OP)
Is that...? Fuck what's the name?
Wild Tangent game...not Oblivion, not Quest...FUCK what the fuck is the name?

I'm already semi-retired and still play games. It's a fun way to pass the time.

>>712663848
>>712636006

I barely play games as it is and I'm 26

>>712635576 (OP)
I decided not to play long games like Skyrim or Persona until I retire. If I stop playing by that age then I'm not missing too much I guess, I'll play short and fun games instead.

>>712635713
this but because lmao if you think the current pension system will still exist by then
its will either be UBI or we're trying to survive and not get killed by riders

I genuinely don't recall the last time I got someone in their 30's or under being a problem customer. But every other fucking day, I get some boomer bitching about some shit and it's usually because they can't fucking read for shit.
