kfree7 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Being semi retired from work now allows me time to game more. Currently, my favorite type of games are Iris Fall or Contrast. Note one doesn’t have a plat. Still loved it. Wish there were more shadow games. I’ve played them even after all the trophies are done. That’s my gaming retirement plan. Find a list of games I enjoy and just keep playing them. Edited August 21, 2021 by kfree7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jninja79 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I did have a breif moment of retirement from trophy hunting full time two years ago. I never fully quit gaming but I did massively slow down on the trophy front, I took the time to spend time on my relationship instead, we broke up so I had a year away from life itself pretty much before getting myself back into the game again. Trophy hunting for me is the one thing in my life I can truely be proud of. As such when the time comes that I do truely hang up the pad and retire Ive purposely left the dlc for Fallout New Vegas uncompleted, I did this because not only is it one of my top 3 favourite games of all time but the cover image for your profile on here is really epic to me. Just a lone ranger stood sillouetted by the lights of the new vegas strip. It just always seemed super badass and cool to me and seemed like a good way to leave it. I started my trophy journey solo, and I will end it solo so no picture or game has a more symbolic or powerful meaning to me then that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting there mate. All those old injuries are starting to take effect now. Even button mashing is a horrible effort these days. A real rude awakening when the day arrives where you're too fucked to press a button with your finger at a fast speed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baranov_925 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Death will tear us apart, no matter if I die in plane crash aged 35 or because of pneumonia aged 75, I'll play until the end. Right now I don't know who will get my consoles and games after my death, but who knows, maybe it gets in good hands.

LoveInHell Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I don't think I will ever stop continue to play games but if VR becomes to next "normal" thing when I'm 40+ then I don't think I would want it and just stick to the consoles that I have. I also want to be a cool mom so there's that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC-Fraggers Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I will still be gaming when the technological advances of the day have rendered me little more than a brain in a jar, controlling external mechanical prosthesis via electrodes. "Is this right?" one scientist will say. "Does he want to die? Can he even make that decision anymore?" But it is not for them to question. I am the monster formerly known as LC-Fraggers, an obscene construct of tissue and steel, platting eight stacks of Patreon-funded visual novels an hour, now and forever.

VigilantCrow Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 My plan is to play until my old ticker gives out. Probably will my games/consoles/account over to my niece or her eventual kids if I make it that long, then eventually have all my gaming feats be forgotten within a year.

FawltyPowers Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Just for kicks, this is the plan I currently have in place before I retire.

You have the most detail I've ever seen. I will send you congrats!!! Haven't been in my 50s for a while, many ppl that said they would keep gaming are gone. There are a few of us that are friends that are all over 48. That's a fun group of gamers. Hope you join me and continue gaming. Like this chat and 66 is perfect!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
