how do you afford all that shit at 27?

Which stuff, like server stuff and all that? I have a pretty good job, I make about $30/hour. It's shift work too, so that means I also have lot of time.

I would have trouble going back to the 8*5 grind of a typical job.
 
27 and still play games here and there. Not as much as when I was a kid though but still play. I recently got back into Ultima Online. Playing on an actual official server for my first time.

It was good while it lasted.

how do you marry me and make me a happy man?
 
Playing games as in, sleeping around / not stable relationship? Or playing games as in, wasting a couple of hours in front of a computer from time to time?

I don't play games with my woman, but, I do play games a bit on the PC. However, I'm only in my 30s so not yet "middle aged"
 
Slowed down a great deal. Played a ton as a teen/20's, even in my 30s I was playing a lot. Now I do what I can but work and family takes more time.
 
I still play new computer, console and board games. I have cut back on them but bought a launch PS4 and will be getting the PS5 day one too.
 
My dad is 70 and still games. Called me the other day and said mom allowed him to get a PS4 for his anniversary gift. Bad thing is that he is always asking me about games and I have zero time to play.
