Maybe not even 32. He always seems to be my age minus 3 years old

VikingHippie,

Must have been somewhat of a problem for the sport back when you were a child. Especially when you were between the ages of 0 and 3.

Oh I’m sure he was already a competent athlete/swimmer/cyclist for his age back in the womb. And the sack.

ImplyingImplications,

If you think sports casters calling 30 old don’t tune into eSports where they call 25 old.

I know, it’s rough. I remember watching StarCraft 2 back in the day, and one of my favorites was “WhiteRa”, and they always made comments about him being ancient at 32…

Lycerius,

Good ol’ “Special Tactics” WhiteRa. It’s funny, because most of the top SC1 players are now that age.

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world avatar

Yes! Special tactics… I also remember twitch chat (I think it might have still been justin.tv then) would laugh about how many tea breaks he took per day.

It feels like ages ago.

trashxeos,

I’m old enough to have played OG Star Craft, v1.0.3 v1.05 on CD ROM on an AMD K6-2 with 64MB of RAM…where’d my ibuprofen go?

Lycerius,

Same here. SC1 and Civ II were the first computer games that I owned.

trashxeos,

I didn’t play Civ II, I was into Starcraft, Incoming (1998 Rage Software), the Motocross Madness demo, Space Cadet, and RCT.

terry_tibbs,

Meanwhile in F1 a 42 year old is dicking on everyone else who isn’t driving a Red Bull.

this_1_is_mine,

that car is amazing though tbh.

egonallanon,

I appreciate Alonso making still feel young and keep the insane fantasy that I will one day be a race driver alive.

sheogorath,

Let’s hope he can get into a good car and set a record for the oldest age to win a title. Although it’s quite hard as the oldest title winner is Fangio for his fifth title when he was 46 years old.

EddoWagt,

I don’t think he’ll be able to get another title, but I sure hope he can at least get a race win

He broke records for youngest WDC, pole sitter, podium, race winner, etc. I fully expect he's going to set records for oldest.

taanegl,

30s: haha human body go brrrrrrprlrprlprrlrplplkadunkkadunkflpflpflpflpflpflpblpblpblplplplplplp…wheeze.

I've been watching sports my whole comprehensive life. Just last season, for the first time ever, I was older than the head coach of my team. I mean I still am, but you get it.

SpaceNoodle,

Which team are you on?

Oh you're one of those guys. All kidding aside, it should be an interesting season.

Absolutely! As long as the Jets don’t get a sniff at the AFC title I’m happy 😜

It's going to be so fun to see the rise and eventual fall in Jersey. Their disappointment gives me joy. Grinch smiling style.
Fuck the Jets.

SpaceNoodle,

Which position do you play?

Spectator, of course.

Rodeo,

I’m sure the team compensates you handsomely for you valuable contribution.

What’s that? You are paying them? Huh, imagine that.

I'm paying them? That's news to me.

    I’m a principal dev (the step higher than senior in my company) and I’m under 40. I think it mostly depends on luck and being in the right place at the right time.

    SpaceNoodle,

    Also, titles vary wildly among different roles at different companies. A junior dev in some MANGA team could be considered a principal engineer at a small startup.

    spiderman,

    40 is young to be a senior developer.

    thought having more than 5 years of experience makes you a senior dev

    Blackmist,

    You become a senior dev when you hold enough of the secret knowledge in your head that they don’t dare sack you.

    yeah but sports is a human sacrifice pit

    matchphoenix,

    The least destructive sports: Let me fling this ball at 120mph (at another human being).

    The most destructive sports: Let me fling myself at top speed at another human being.

    Or you know. Curling. 🥌

    ArianaGrande,

    I dunno, I tried curling once and slipped so hard I nearly did a backflip

    S_204,

    You needed another beer…for balance.

    HiddenLayer5,

    Also horseback riding. The horse is doing the work.

    abbadon420,

    Professional sports is great. You can have a whole career before you start your career as a B-grade advertisement actor or sports collumnist (if you’re lucky).
