I had tendonitis and was getting injections in my right thumb and discovered custom controllers which has taken a lot of strain off my hands and extended my gaming life. They’re pricey but well worth it. I also found a coupon via Honey for 80 bucks off the one I ordered from AIM. Well worth looking into if you’ve got arthritis or other hand issues.

I’ll be 59 this year and have been gaming since Pong. They’ll pry my controller from my cold, dead fingers. Also, I’m a woman as is the circle I play with, who are also all older women (45+). We do exist and couldn’t give a fuck about what society thinks about it.

Better gaming than just being a potato watching TV every spare minute with no other outlet.

Gaming’s been shown to help prevent dementia because it keeps the brain active.

Consider that the women that you’ve been trying to date that don’t appreciate gaming just aren’t the right partner for you.
