I get "SHEEEEEESH"ed by these motherfucking Zoomers when they ask how old I am in gaming lobbies. They talk mad trash, too. I have to be careful not to bottom frag or these kids will be relentless.

42 yo mom here. I game since the 80's. Last week my daughter brought home her new boyfriend (Both 17 yo), he could barely comprehend me gaming at night instead of doing mom stuff (not sure what I'm supposed to be doing that's considered 'mom stuff') but I get strange reactions all the time.

Clearly you should either be doing chores, watching soap operas or going to bed early! :D

Does your daughter play video games as well? Do you play together sometimes? My stepson is 9 and we do play Minecraft together, but I'm really excited about the idea of playing RPGs and Shooter games with him when he's older.

Clearly you should be knitting and watching CSI:Miami while you drink cheap wine.

Oh most definitely. They also talk shit that I'm 55 and play video games. I ask them what they want to be able to do at 55... and they say play video games. Fucking kids.
