They can't play and they have ages? Google translate has failed you my friend.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I'm just below the cut (33 yrs old) and I put in a 5hr session on Sunday.  Apex Legends got me hooked. It's all about managing your time.  I don't watch TV when my day is over, I game.

if they have their life in order - sure, its fine. 

the thing is with age your priorities change a bit or should at least. wether or not its cool for you to game doesnt have anything to do with your age.

its just not cool to game if you start neglecting other areas of your life for it. so if your 35 and game after you put your kids to sleep thats awesome and equally if youre 15 and you game in your messy room without having done your homework or while your mom is breaking her back doing chores thats not cool. just imo

Most people that age don't seem to make time for games in their lives. They have other things they perceive to be more important.

No. My favourite counter example:

this guy is almost 50 and he plays a game on pc.

 

Also, drop the pointless capslock.

That's increasingly less true with the advent of mobile games like candy crush. They won't sit down at a pc with the intent to play a game for two hours straight, but they will play in their spare time or on the bus.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Obviously if you have kids it's different, but when you are responsibility free (more or less) simply replace watching TV with gaming. So many people who proclaim gaming to be a waste of time rack up 10's of hours each week in front of the TV.

I'm gonna respond to the OP and say no, and put forward the idea that all capslock keys are removed from users under the age of 35.

You're really proving the point that most people above the age of 35 can't effectively use a computer however...

34 and I play games 1-2 hours a night 2-4 nights a week. Only 8 hours of gaming a week on an average week but I still do game.

 

I remember when I used to do 8 hours before lunch on a Saturday...

I believe that people who write in all-caps can't play games.

I’m 37 and just got back into pc gaming less than a year ago. I work with a guy who’s 71 and his steam library would put many to shame
