General Age of Sub Simmers? - Page 2

frau kaleun · 10-06-10, 09:54 PM

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.

Frau, you and my dad might have gone to high school together.....

I'm 19.

been playing Subsims since I was....6.

and actually I moved on to other games from there, but I've always moved back to subsims.

I'm the only one in my town that owns all 5 Silent Hunters.

That doesn't bode well could it?

I've just turned 45 and have been playing sub sims only a few months, been playing all types of games however for decades. These days apart from Silent hunter 3 I play Flight Sims, Arma 2 and still enjoy a good ole game of Medieval 2 from time to time.

So you see? We're not all old folk....

If this could make her feel better,

I'm practically choking in blue...and to blue

Nah sometimes life doesn't deserve the commitment and serious effort that we've put in. When I realize crooks could be well praised and respected I know life is not to be taken seriously.

But still life is a blessing despite the many wrongs that are going on around us. Trying to enjoy what life we have and to be comfortable with ourselves is more than enough.

In the words of one of my lecturer she said something like The world is not fair and to accept that.
She got it wrong I'm sure and convinced even convicted. It's men who are unfair because men are fallible. Life is fair. It may need courage and faith to look it that way but life is fair when you know death isn't the finish line. To the sight(figure) I behold when I was a kid back a year after I was shown Christ then whose face shone beyond everything....what a power, what a Godly body, what a life!

My name is George and I'm a subsimholic.

Oh, wait, that's not what this thread is about

Fairly common knowledge that I'm 26. Have been on Subsim since I was 20, but you could argue my first sub sim was Silent Service 2, which I first played when I was about 9.

Im 30 but if it helps, I was 25 when i bought my first ever subsim - SH3.

Your buddy is right though about subsims appeal to a generally older crowd.
In 2001 I used to work for a company which provided telephone support for Ubisoft, (their support was outsourced back then) Every guy who called with SH2 Issues sounded no younger than 50, I kid you not! One of them evern told me he was a retired Officer in the Royal Navy.
Being 21 and an avid gamer, I was actually dead impressed that there were gamers out there in the same age group as my parents, I remember thinking 'good for you', when I spoke to an older guy

@The Tyrant, if I got this right, you are a 15yo guy posing as a 19yo girl on a ?chinese? Marilyn Mason forum, where you are a moderator?

WTH?

..Gotta love internet
