And then you die because a blood clot that formed in your leg came loose and shot up into your brain, because you’ve been sitting for weeks playing videogames.

“Error connecting to PSN Servers” (no longer exist)
The PS9 is backwards compatible with PS4 controllers.
The PS9 services for the PSN have been discontinued. Please upgrade to the PS11 to continue using your endocrine system.
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.
I will eat a shitton of acid 😆
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.
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.
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.
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.
Parkinson’s disease in 3,2,1…
I can finally replay that game for the first time again. /s
Gonna be kicking ass on dynasty warriors!
Grandpa’s got an extra twitchy trigger finger, better watch out!
No, but there was time now…
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.
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.
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
There’s like 300 n64 games in existence. You can find it.
Mystical Ninja staring Goemon?
I forgot about that game. It was great.
Blast Corps
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 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.
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
That really big bill when they run out of rubber to patch on your car
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.
I’m never going to be able to retire. It must be nice
