Just plug my old ass into the matrix. If I live to see 80 we'll probably have some kind of full dive VR by that point. Or at least something approaching it.

We will but the interface used to full dive will be used to influence your thoughts and getting you to buy stuff
Jokes on them, I won't have any money to buy stuff
I dunno. I game less and less every year. I think I’ll probably just play the odd n64 game by the time I retire.
Yep, most of us won't really have the energy to get into a 100 hours + game, a platform, an indie or a retro beloved game? Yeah I can see that.

You have to pick one n64 game. Go.
Do not disappoint me.
I know you'll be disappointed, but Mario 64 has a fair number of levels and star missions. So, either that or Star Fox (your score can always be a little better).
Not disappointed at all.
Superman 64
Ocarina of Time. Randomizer.
Megaman legends.

I just hope my hands hold out long enough. I already have terrible arthritis in both hands.
VR gaming bro.
Yeah my hands started acting up when I was in my 30s. Now that I’m in my 40s they cramp and become useless when they’re any amounts of cold.
My wife likes to rock climb but she will only go to the gym if I go. I can handle the pain but my fingers will literally just stop opening and closing. I haven’t gotten the courage to talk to her about it yet.
Do gloves (fingerless for climbing) do anything to help?
I tried gloves for kayaking since my hands lock up during that but I didn’t feel a huge difference.
I probably just gotta see another doctor. The last doctor I talked to wanted me off of adderall before they’d prescribe me anything but then I’d lose my job.
Yes, definitely see a different doctor.

What's retirement?
It's a carrot on the end of the stick that's tied to your back

Sorry, no SS for you. Back to the office.
Day 3170 here.. that's still what I'm doing... But in Athens, and mouse+keyboard.
I will eat a shitton of acid 😆
Me and the homes in the old person dorm. Playing games, watching movies, doing community service.
Walking dog, feeding homeless, getting drunk, magic the gathering and dnd with my other retired friends. That’s what I would do if I ever retired, which I probably won’t because of everything.
Wow… nice.
I'm never going to be able to retire. It must be nice
