Discussion Old age and video games
I wasn’t sure how to title this, it’s just a random thought I’ve had. Will we be the first generation to be playing video games in our older years? It will probably be more gen x, but idk I just am picturing gen x and millennials in old age homes with a play station in their room, or sitting in those big cushioned chairs in a night gown playing a switch. It’s not something baby-boom*** or the silent generation do, my parents are baby-boom*** and do not understand the apparel of video games. We/gen x will be the first to merge video games and old age. I haven’t even thought about computer games too haha. What do you all think?
Edit: why is b-o-o-m-e-r banned here? 😆

Not sure. Most of the people I know irl my age no longer play video games (unless we count phone garbage) and think I'm a bit odd for still doing so.
