NSers Over 30?

by **Chrinthanium** » Thu Dec 29, 2011 6:47 am

So, I was having a thought earlier, and decided that I would post it. Let us see who salutes it as I run it up the flag pole. I am curious to know how many of the NS community here are over the age of thirty. I know I am 33, but I also found this game 6 years ago, when I was 27. Just looking to find those who are out there that remember the 80s, Atari 2600, and Reaganomics!

Ailiailia did an age poll just a few weeks ago, with pretty good takeup and a well presented age distribution, you might want to have a look at that.
HTH

PS, FWIW, I'm 35.

Boo to Atari AND C64 - those were for spoilt brats. The real man's computer were the ZX 80 and the Spectrum.

Btw, when I was born, the Pope was Paul VI, and Gerald Ford was PotUS. :shock:

I remember the 30s and I'm under 80.

17,260 more or less. And there is a correct number in there.

I wish these threads would stop reminding me I'm going to be 33. I don't want to get older.

And you just reminded me that I'm already older than Kurt ever was...

33 here too. I remember the 80's but not enough of it. I remember all of the 90's very well and wish I didn't.

Yeah, well ... what'cha gonna do? Don't let it get to you, eat plenty of fiber, chase girls or boys and live. It's worked for me.

- 80s - check;
- Atari 2600 - I had 800XL. Does it count?
- Reaganomics - We were governed by ~~successful Democrats~~ the Communists under the watchful eye of the Northern Group of Forces.Does it count?

You did not properly enjoy the 60's if you remember them.

Will be 41 in a couple of months - loved the 80's for the most part. I learned to program on an Atari computer, remember when Pong came out, when 8-tracks were the portable music of choice, when we didn't have to wear seatbelts, and when one could wear those huge collars on shirts and not be thought of as an idiot. Hell, my uncle had those powder blue tuxes at his wedding, we had that 70's Gold in home appliances, a basement that had the dark panneling, and when I was little, these red floods that were my 'movie star pants'. Also, music. Lots of good music through all of that. Being raised in the radio business had absolutely nothing to do with my love of it all. Certainly not.

I just turned 40 last week and I love Nation States.

well i was 12 in 1969 so it would have been kinda wrong to have enjoyed them properly.

Age is just a number.

I totally do that. I totally chase girls and boys but it feels really bizarre buying fiber (don't look at me you drugstore whippersnapper!). But you're right

Totally works except when I'm reminded.

I aim to misbehave.

Really, I'm spending it as I get it, because I don't how it'll be before I have to move in with my son and his wife.
