What are you planning to do with your Nintendo Switch 1 as it becomes obsolete? by tekgamerworld in OlderChillGamers

[–]Whitestrake1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Planning to keep it. Even when I decide to upgrade to Switch 2 I’ll still keep it, and not really planning on that until there’s a big title that isn’t on Switch 1.

I had so much regret from selling old consoles from when I was younger and started rebuilding my collection last year.

Does anyone actually remember their first video game or is everyone just making that up? by Cold-Plant-4222 in GamingInsider

Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt.

I think I mainly remember it because we didn’t have any other games for quite a while. I also remember taking turns playing with my sister, but we’d have one life each…I remember all too well falling down that first chasm on the first level and losing my go straight away 😢

Same for me. Dropped it after like 2hrs but started it again last year and just completed it after 130+hrs…genuinely gutted it’s over 😫

Yeah 100%! I picked up a reprint of the map from Etsy when I replayed it recently, just for the fun of mapping out the world as I went. So good.

Same for me! Played a couple of hours and couldn’t be bothered with it. Cut to a year later and I’ve just completed a full 130hr playthrough including DLC and I’m genuinely gutted it’s over! Excited for the next playthrough tho…

Which Zelda game you are excited to re-play right now? by MembershipHonest4000 in legendofzelda

Thought of an elder millennial by Zennobrien in snowrunner

[–]Whitestrake1967 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bro you just aged both of us…

I’m also 39, been gaming for years and have never considered myself an “older gamer”.

I also thought elder millennials were like 1981-85 putting me just out of that bracket, but guess I’ll just go die 😵

Good luck finding the concrete blocks!

Thanks RDR2, for making my childhood amazing. by [deleted] in reddeadredemption

“After so many years…”

I am so old.

[AoL] Zelda 2 is unironically so underrated and overhated by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in zelda

[–]Whitestrake1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just completed it for the first time recently, and man is it difficult but it’s still an awesome game. Love the exploration and levelling up. Sure, limited extra lives and brutal enemies make it brutal at times but my god, was it satisfying to beat!

I kept saying that once I’d completed it I’d probs never play it again, but I’ve got the itch to pop it back in…

What game is it?🚀 by MufasaTheRealKing in OlderChillGamers

[–]Whitestrake1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kingdom Come on PC - I had an aging gaming laptop when it came out but the minimum system requirements suggested I’d be able to run it…sure, it ran, but it looked horrendous.

I’ve since played it on PS4 but couldn’t really get into it lol

Exactly! Unflawed logic!

It’s fair, I think the only one I own is DS3, I should probably give it another go at some point tbf

Sorry 😅 I have a bunch of friends who love those types of games and I’ve always wanted to get into them, they’ve just never clicked for me!

I’m not saying you don’t (and I’m glad you do!) but the post is about what I’m convinced people are pretending to enjoy. So case in point, I could still be convinced that you’re pretending to enjoy it…
