Aging gamers were reportedly delighted to see that a new video game called Eldric Quest has accessibility features catered specifically to people their age who do not have enough time to actually play a video game.

“I came back from the office at around 7 p.m. and was so happy to see this mode implemented because holy shit am I tired,”

    I am also 55. And every time I get spanked in Destiny 2 pvp I am reminded that my reflexes are now shit, and my days of pvp glory in UT and CS are decades behind me. I’m officially a pve player now.

        City builder simulators like Foundation or Cities: Skylines. Anything with a Pause button.

          Someone make this into a shirt with a cool gamer logo. I’ve found my gamer crew.

          The consoles suspend button they all added last gen is a godsend for me. No cocking about with loading, finding a save point, etc. Just, on and off.

          Yeah just started it solo, guess it’s more fun with friends. However I don’t have friends who play online in my timezone. I’ll try on the Discord channel.

        Oh, I meant pve within Destiny 2 but I get what you mean. Outside it all I always go back to Minecraft.

          I played Destiny 2 but found it quite stressful and too hard for me.
