Fun fact I thought I was 45, she told me no dad you are 44 lol. This December actually. And the necessary comment: you suck at maths. Point taken :)
I often forget I'm 33 and not 32. I think it happens to most people.
Especially when you are born in December, in my mind in January I'm a year older, so my wife and daughter and son always question my maths lol. It's a running joke that I always fall for it.
The thing is I look way younger than my age. Most people think I'm 32-35. When I get in a boardroom in a company for the first time I let them go with the impression, okay another kid from corp to lecture us.... To this day it's still happening.
Edit: at 30, when going to a club, the bouncers always ask my ID. I don't know if it's an advantage but the time I got embarrassed are countless. The first time my daughter's boyfriend asked me if I'm a cousin.

I've got the same problem. I look like I'm in my early 20s. I'm fine with that. Hope it stays that way until I'm like 70 lol.
We will be just fine lol, nothing wrong about that. If you are married, you might have to deal with younger girls hitting on you. Just show the ring. :)
Same. Started playing on C64 in the mid-80s. It's been a fun ride to witness the technological advancement from the likes of Stunt Car Racer and Shadow of the Beast to WipEout HD and Bloodborne. I still remember the Amiga demo scene, and the Amiga bus that visited our town. It was such a joy to be able to test new games (like the aforementioned SCR, and Battle Squadron co-op space shooter) there before they were released. I feel like I've recently fell from the wagon though, as the current push for open world does nothing for me.
Welcome to the dark side of the 20's my 1994 brother...
As for myself, 25 for another 14 days, and then... 2... 2.. 2.... 2.. Ahhhh shit it hurts to write it you know what comes next. :'(
Turning 31 in May so I voted 30-39. It's the hottest bracket to be in for more than one reason, I feel so old.😢
Turned 40 a couple of months ago. Feel kind of insulted to be lumped in with people nearing their sixties, lol
Ha ha boomerEra.
Anyways 19 and I kinda find it funny to see how sharply forums are getting slanted towards older users these days. Honestly I wouldn't even say that most people around my age use Twitter to talk about gaming (versus following creators they like and sharing funny memes and quips) versus the all powerful Discord. It feels like servers are just an easier way to talk to people as people and not just walls of faceless text

Per GDPR, you have to be 16, which IIRC is in our terms of service. No idea how many there are though.
