There's no cut off. Some people are just judgy (and often hypocritical).
I'm the same age as you and I've been gaming my whole life. My father had all the Ataris, (2600, 400, 800, XT, etc...). He and I built my first 386 together. My uncles had the Intellivision. Cousins with the ColecoVision. My father's almost 70 and he's still an avid Destiny 2 player.
I will admit tho, it's harder to find women, our age, who are either into or at least open to gaming as an adult hobby. I'm not saying they don't exist but having been divorced and remarried I can say there's a gender gap there. I was lucky enough to find someone open minded. She never complained about my weekly game nights to keep in touch with my friends and she's even opened up over the last few years and has become a bit of a gamer herself.
So... there is no cut off. It's not immature or childish, and it's certainly more of an art form than 3/4 of the garbage those same people will spend their free time on (reality tv, tiktock, endlessly scrolling the void of facebook).
Probably a fair amount of duplication with this, but always good to have more Lemmy users! Reddit thread in r/dndnext announcing this: https://www.reddit.com/r/dndnext/comments/14f6d3a/you_voted_we_listened/

So I've been messing around with standing up my own instance (mostly as a learning tool) and near as I can tell, even with email verification and registration required it still creates the user, they're just not enabled. How are you differentiating between servers with a large amount of unverified accounts vs servers with open signups?
I figured this would be coming to games within the next 3-5 years but the fact that there’s already a tech demo out is kinda crazy. It’s admittedly a little rough around the edges but still impressive....
Except this is much smaller and more nascent than email, which has been around for decades. I don't think proactively de-federating instances that have done anything yet is the wrong approach at this time.
So on https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list you can see parapheum.com has currently 6112 users if you go to parapheum.com it has only 1 community, is this an example of botting? Or am I missing something since I am a one day old lemmy user.
I have a home hub (got it on sale a while back) and I agree that it feels like it should be a small detachable tablet. This looks like the natural next evolution.
I've had a few android tablets. They've all been lackluster and unimpressive. This one, at least seems like it would serve a general purpose (home hub) with the added benefit of being able to detach it and use it as a tablet when needed.
The fact that everyone treats Golem-Picard as True-Picard felt to me like confirmation that, in the ST universe, what makes you you is your mind. Memories, thought patterns, etc... I know it was tv-show hand wavery but the fact that no one mourned the death of their friend, or really ever once questioned the validity of the golem taking his place bothered me a little.
Just joined Lemmy today. From what I understand, there are different Lemmy instances that host different communities. I supposed that to interact in a community hosted in a certain instance, I would need to create an account for that instance. Ended up creating 10 different accounts.
Is this actually working for anyone on lemmy.one right now? I have been unable to subscribe to any community/magazine/etc... that's not already federated to lemmy.one for almost a week now.
I've tried searching by URL. I've tried searching by !name.
Nothing works, it just sits there. I've hit search multiple times. I've tried to be patient and just come back later and try again. I get there's growing pains, and I'm guessing this server is getting overloaded. If that's the case, the admin posting in Meta "hey we're aware of the problems" would be nice.
I have the same problem on both. Seems like the !name nor the full url ever populate. What I am finding is that after some time, if I come back and just type in a partial name (to search federated communities) it'll show up.

Idea: Book Club but for games
Basic idea is to have the community all play the same game and then talk about it and our experiences....
