I'm a 44 year old man who's been obsessed with a video game for months that's he's not even been playing. I'm NO paragon of maturity!
...and I mean maturity in other people's eyes. Most people I know who are my age and don't play video games are sat watching whatever their SO wants to watch on the telly. I pity those poor saps!
My grandkids turned me on to sandbox video games a year ago. Mexico has a "Grandparents Day" and the GK's gave me a new PS4 and a game called Hitman. Since then, I've turned on a half dozen other seniors to the concept. Us oldies, have problems with our sleep patterns. Open ended or as you millennials say Sandbox video games, are a life saver when one is wide awake in the weee hours and there's nothing to do. Personally, I played NMS 10 to 12 hours a day. Generally it was 4 hours on four hours off and thrn 4 hours on again repeaditally. Though none of us have ever played ED, were all getting it, and in a couple of years, with a lot of practice, will be a force or as y'all say "Wing" to recon with. To any and all Griefers out there, including those snott nosed jurnior high aged graduated rug rats referred to as children. BEWARE the geriatrics wing(s) are coming, and were not gonna take names. Though we may not be able to keep pace, we know how to utilize numbers and stealth, and with nothing else to do, and no parents to scold us; Hunt you down!
There's a generation of perspected players out here that grew up prior to Dr. BEN SPOCK who is the one responsible for eradicating the old idioma of "Spare the rod, spoil the child" with the concept of "Time Out". Which had mutated into an "Entitledment Mentality". Once we geriatrics realize we can cause the salt to flow again, watch out. LOL
