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.
You have to pick one n64 game. Go.
Do not disappoint me.
Megaman legends.
Ocarina of Time. Randomizer.
Definitely oot, but if I could pick two, it’d be this super weird game I’ve never been able to find again, or remember the name of. Had a kind of Hawaiian theme, iirc. There was a conch shell you blew. It was weird, and I loved it so much
Mystical Ninja staring Goemon?
Superman 64
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.
I just hope my hands hold out long enough. I already have terrible arthritis in both hands.
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.
In a better timeline this is one of the many things a Neuralink could be good for
I’m still holding out hope for full-dive VR in the next 20-30 years.
Gaming and smoking a shit ton of weed in retirement is gonna be great… if we still have social security and access to 401k’s at that point lmao
Retirement home LAN parties… That’s the dream
Invites all around! Remind me in 20 years.
Hopefully all your friends are still around
That might be a problem. What friends?
You can make some at true retirement home. Sad part is, our generation isn’t getting any of those, most of us will be working till we drop.
Dude. Yes.
Everyone I know who retired is at least as busy as before.
The notion that without a job, people just sit around bored, is capitalist propaganda.It’s insane to me that people think they will somehow go braindead the minute they don’t have a job. Is that how they act once they get home after a long and exhausting day of labouring? Just sit down in the couch and die, staring at the white wallpaper until they collapse? From my only related experience with actually existing in this life, I fucking hate how I don’t have time for anything, ANYTHING, ever, because work work work, only to go home and work work work some more as an adult with actual responsibilities. Retirement ya, i might get a quarter of my shit in order, at best, but I’d probably just stock it with more responsibilities that I really don’t have time for, but a window of more time means a window of thinking about more shit that has been neglected or needs doing because things always do.
A decent amount of people really do just park their ass on the couch and cease existing. I’ve watched more than a few people retire and die shortly after from having nothing to live for.
I noticed over covid that many people were telling me that they were happy to be working again after being furloughed (temporarily paused employment in the UK) because they’d been losing their minds with nothing to do. I couldn’t understand it, I was busy and really happy.
To be fair, that is exactly what I do some days after work because this shit is needlessly exhausting. I think I need like a year of sickly Victorian style bedrest because I have been so burned out for so long that I don’t really have much of a sense of self at this point.
Me too, thanks.
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.
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.
I don’t think any amount of achievable retirement savings is enough to give me confidence that I could cover escalating health care costs enough that I could retire. Even if I had $10M in the bank, I would worry that the cost of health care will rise fast enough to impoverish me.
You just move to a county with actual Healthcare as part of your retirement. Won’t even need 5 mil.
If you make it to Medicare age, it gets a lot less stressful. eg: my folks have had 4 knees replaced with very little out-of-pocket cost. There’s still supplemental insurance, but Medicare, not the profit-driven insurance company, determines what gets covered, and they mostly listen to doctors. There’s always edge cases, where some treatment might not be covered, but I feel like those are uncommon.
One way or the other, my ultimate health care plan is 9mm.
I have no confidence that medicare will still exist. It could be gone by next month.
Maybe in our lifetime we will see an expansion of Medicare to be a single payer system for all Americans as a publicly available option (ie: the minimum standards other insurance would need to meet to be competitive).
That would be nice. Idk I’m just hopeful in like 25 years we may see some real change ushered in when it comes to that. Probably very naively hopeful but I have to at least occasionally believe in a better future.
I get more pessimistic every year and I started out extremely pessimistic. I think humanity going extinct in my lifetime is more likely than the US getting single payer in my lifetime.
Humans won’t ever go extinct save some absolute batshit scenario that wipes the world completely clean of all life, give or take.
We’re too resourceful and we like fucking too much for humans to go extinct but it could be a pretty bleak existence for the human race at some point.
Nevertheless, I stand by my view. We are already trying our hardest to make the atmosphere replicate the atmosphere of the K-T extinction.
I’m surprised that Trump doesn’t use Obama care to prescribe 9mm medication to people. It’s a lot cheaper to pay a one time cost of a 9mm that reoccurring costs of medication. Think about it, health care costs plumit and firearms sales skyrocket. It’s a republican wet dream.
Parkinson’s disease in 3,2,1…
No, but there was time now…
Gonna be kicking ass on dynasty warriors!
Helps my APM
I’ve never understood people who get bored in retirement. I looked forward to it from the very start of my career, and now that I am retired I’ve gotten so into hobbies and interests that it feels like there still isn’t enough time for everything.
Yeah, I also have 5 hobbies and many more interests. I am only scared that I don’t have enough energy left in me once I retire.
It’s amazing how much energy you get from waking up without the obligation to go somewhere and work on somebody else’s shit all day because you have to. Gives me a big smile every morning!
Here’s to hoping we still have the physical ability to engage with those hobbies and interests.
it’s because they had enjoyable work. not the slave trade were in today.
Lol to thinking that it was better. Capitalism was always terrible for normal people.
But many people just don’t have a lot of hobbies. Change is also scary for many people.
Oh yeah I forgot, careers were an endlessly fulfilling series of fun exciting tasks. And job interviews were like, “A white male with a college degree? You’re hired!” Cuz everybodty’s ignorant fantasies about the past are staggeringly accurate!
My father is retired and still needs to use PowerPoint. He is very bad at retirement.
I will eat a shitton of acid 😆
I’ll restart and 100% stardew valley or die trying. Always wanted to commit to it, never did.
I’m never going to be able to retire. It must be nice
