Congrats never too old to be gaming! Keep the videos coming, maybe you can have a 50 year old special next year :)
Many thanks I do watch a few 50+ gamers stream and my gaming buddy is 50+ there is a lot of us older gamers out there. Hopefully I could do a 50 year old special as am celebrating this year 25 years married.

And I thought I was alone in Freedom as an older gamer, hail and well met sir! I’m not quite in the same league as you in terms of age (late-30s here), but nice to see you still enjoy gaming.

Reminds me of a YouTuber named Shirley Curry who is well into her 70s and plays Skyrim like a pro.

Cheers my friends but there is a lot of us older gamers out there. Am on Xbox and most on my friends list are in their mid and late 40's a few in their 50's and some in their mid to late 30's. I game just to relax as my PVP days are truly over no interest in it anymore.

Mostly on the Xboxone X myself my PS4 gathers dust and if Anthem stops crashing while playing I'll enjoy it better. Roll on my Birthday for The Division 2. But with older PC's and consoles I had the Spectrum,Commodore64 and the ColecoVision with the Artari expansion

The good old days... my first PC didn’t even have a hard drive, you had to insert a 5.25 inch floppy disk to boot into DOS prompt. Displayed monochrome black and white or CGA 4 colours. An internal speaker provided beeps and dings as sound output.

Played a bunch of Sierra adventure games, Space Quest, Quest for Glory, King’s Quest, Colonel’s Bequest (pretty scary game when I was playing as a kid), and others.

Possibly the worst example of the DLC business model (selling an abysmally incomplete base game and putting the rest of the game content behind a paywall):
