I’m not afraid of retirement, I’m afraid of needing to work on the day of my funeral.
You and me both.
My mother is already kinda facing that and I feel like it’s almost treason for politicians to keep extending the retirement age on all of us.
Retiring doesn’t seem like an option from my perspective… Better start gaming now
Instructions unclear, got fired for gaming at work. I guess its early retirement for me.
Arthritis has entered the game
Wait, you guys get to retire?
My retirement plan is 10 grams of lead
Never understood that attitude. As folks mention the math for most of us does not seem to include any type of voluntary retirement and when we do its going to be because we are so messed up we can’t work which likely means we won’t be able to game. Seriously though, even before our electronic age, there are so many worthwhile things to do outside of clocking into a job.
I’m going to take up birdwatching and hope I die in the wetlands to the sound of a thousand red-winged blackbirds singing their mating calls.
Damn dude I hope you die that way too.
At risk of sounding depressing as fuck, after I lost my dad this past spring, I had the most cathartic outletting emotion to that exact sound while hiking at a wildlife reserve with my wife. There’s something insanely deep and meaningful to me in those calls, and I love to hear them every spring - even if it only lasts a month or so. I live on the other side of the continent from home, but the blackbirds and robins are still a constant that come every spring and I’m so thankful for them.

I hope people aren’t counting on playing games that require fast reaction speeds. If your jam is turn-based games you’re in luck, you should be good to 100. But, if you’re a competitive online gamer, you’re in for a rude shock if you think you’re going to retire and compete against the 20-somethings.
Every competitive game has a ranking system. I do not see any issue playing and trying to improve, just reduce your expectations.
A lot of 20 year olds are trash in a lot of competitive games
The idea of fearing retirement because you don’t know what you’ll do with yourself is incredibly depressing and really reflects how much of our lives revolve around making others rich
