MODERATORS
I mean this purely as an observation, but: almost certainly literal child detected
I'm in my mid 30s, and the people in my extended social circle around my age that don't fire up a game at least once or twice a week are few and far between, even including the harried, busy, regular not-yet-grand parents, haha
Quick edit: imo, the ones not playing video games at my age (again, in my area) are generally the ones who seem the least like they have their shit together. It's weird but it's a thing I've noticed
I mean, if they are 30 and haven't adapted to how society is yet, its not surprising they havent got their shit together. We grew up alongside modern tech growing up, if you've been avoiding technology till now, its exceedingly hard to function in our current society
