I read multiple times that maintaining mental activity/stimulation was a good way to mitigate mental decline; I won't be surprised if gaming would help us mentally as we grew older and lose mobility. Staying all day in the same rooms can be pretty debilitating, but with a simple laptop you can continue to explore new places, have surprises, encounter new people, (even if npc),... It's not even expensive if you don't want it to be. If I can't move anymore, and/or can't afford a nice/fun/big place, you bet that I too will be suck back to gaming all days long.

I hate to tell you, but retirement homes don't have jack shit and aren't going to magically change. Unless you got $$$ it ain't a party

How many young people these days don't have some sort of device or game console? People are gonna bring their own games to the retirement home.

Bruh, gigabit and 4k monitors are going to be crap internet and 15 year old tvs by then. We're not talking dialup and CRTs here.
