What my retirement is shaping up to look like:

  • Steam backlog with over a thousand games
  • Dozens of board games
  • Card games
  • Gigs worth of TTRPG PDFs
  • Gigs of Audiobooks
  • Terabytes of TV and Movies
  • Snowboarding
  • Skateboarding
  • Mountain biking
  • Off-Grid Van Life
  • Learning guitar
  • Learning electronic music production

I dunno. I suspect I won't miss office politics, stressed clients and the rest much.

EDIT:

I forgot to add "painting table top miniatures" and "modding guitars" to the list. Here is a Washburn I modded into a rubber bridge.

I don't know if my old ass will have the reflexes for 90's shooters

Dont sell yourself short. I (50) joined a lobby a few months back and I didn't fully suck.

I'm already bad now, lol.

I have a friend who is very happily spending his retirement wargaming- playing games, inventing games, painting models and writing and self-publishing books on wargaming. He seems extremely satisfied.

Yep. I forgot to add "painting miniatures" to the list.

Some of his miniatures are super miniature too. Like a quarter the size of Warhammer miniatures. And he does a very good job of painting their little Napoleonic uniforms or whatever.
