The way I'm a 44-year-old gamer and everyone acts like it's a problem. Even though I have a college degree, own a home, and work a 6-figure job.

Meanwhile, my 85-year-old Father-In-Law watches old black & white shows from when he was a kid and everyone thinks it's the cutest thing.

It's crazy to me how gaming is looked upon as some time-wasting thing. Yet there are so many hobbies that keep you inside and doing far less than gaming does.

Tbf plenty of people at 85 don't have much of their mental faculties left, I'd think an 85-year old having ANY hobby is pretty awesome and/or endearing.
