I just turned 46 a month ago.
I've been playing subsims since I was... 45.
Never did much gaming of any kind when I was a teenager, unless you count playing Trivial Pursuit with my dad. And watching
Jeopardy to see who could yell out the correct answer first. And the occasional game of checkers. (Chinese checkers if we were feeling adventurous.)
Of course we didn't have personal computers back then, and I doubt I would have been into combat sims of any kind even if they were available.
But I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now.
