Poll of the Day > Me 10 years ago: Imagine being on GameFAQs in your 30s, couldn't be me

(+) Yeah! (+)

Me today: Lol can you believe these 40 year olds here

As long as my account doesnt get banned and the site doesnt get shut down, Ill visit

Zeus still won't admit how old he is, and he was the butt of all the "you're too old" jokes like 12 years ago.

Well I know how old I am, and I know Zeus is old enough to be my dad, so Id say hes about 54

the dude seems downright petrified of anyone on this board finding out what he looks like

We all know what he looks like

an older icoyar?

Older ico, I think probably slightly overweight, about 5 foot 8

I took the brunt of a lot of the "old" jokes over a decade ago, yet me and PO are like 2 months apart. And we're far from the older posters here. Off the top of my head I can probably name 5 posters that are older. A few far older. I know for a fact there's at least one octagenerian that posts here semi-frequently.

A Greek god?

I believe a user here is 73. You're never too old for anything really.

---

At this point I'm still coming here in my 30s simply because I've been doing it since I was 13. I took a years long hiatus but I still ended up back here. I expect the boards or myself to die before I stop

---

I'm 31 now. Probably will still be around here in 10 years... maybe.

i doubt gamefaqs is still around in 10 years.

If GameFAQs isn't around in 10 years, I will close my account.

:]

Until they sell the site to China, I'll be here.

I'm thousands of years old. And the butt of those jokes? I fucking started half of them. Get off my lawn.

I'm old enough to be your very distant ancestor, and there's a good chance you are related to me. I seeded a lot of fields.

Otherwise it's funny because that was the age people were guessing 20 years ago, and I expect will be guessing 20 years from now.

There are statues of me, tbh... although I changed my hair to avoid psychotic stalkers. And considering how many death threats I've received on this board, it's pretty justified that I don't want people being able to find me. And somebody like Brisashi has both anger and unlimited time on his hands, which can be a dangerous combination.

Sweet merciful crap, is that real? I just assumed he was another wannabe know-it-all kid. That is just so sad if a grown man is behind those posts...

People have been saying that for 10 years.

Zeus you're the only person who finds the pretending to be the actual Greek god Zeus gag funny. Also the China hysteria really was necessary. Do you have CDS (China Derangement Syndrome)? Kinda weird to bring it up somewhere nobody else was doing it.

I'm sure you currently use zero products that are either owned by or made in China

It's crazy to think the users who play up the "super old, jaded and wise" persona have been doing that since they were like, 21

PO has been doing the old jaded cynical man bit for decades. He's immune to jokes about his age because he owns it. You have little temper tantrums and meltdowns when people prod at your age, so of course people are going to continue doing it to press your buttons.

yeah, sadly it is. after he claimed to work for the dod, he swiftly denied it after he accidentally let slip he was living on unemployment, ok?

tbh, if I hadn't seen your account's age, I would have assumed you were 12 or 13 all this time from your opinions and how you've chosen to express them.

I know, right? Given that there's relatively little overhead with the site, I can only imagine it being shut down if there was a major scandal.

It's not "hysteria" to have concerns where the CCP is involved. Even your pal Biden has sometimes taken issue with the CCP, even though he speaks softly because he's likely in their pockets.

I've avoided using anything that shares my information with Chinese companies because of their tendency to hand information over the CCP. Like I've corrected you many times in the past, the danger isn't buying a tie or other physical item originally made in China, it's using software or online services run by Chinese companies. However, it's less of a concern if it's just a Chinese investment group owning a Western company, since you could reasonably expect that the Western company would bring to their own government any concerns if the investors asked to have data, etc, handed over. And, because you seem wholly ignorant to this fact, China is probably the biggest culprit when it comes to intellectual theft.

That's as well as generally having little or no respect for copyrights, patents, etc, unless pressured by the international community. As crazy as it seems, China has even bootlegged cars:

Do you have to shit things up everywhere you go man lighten up

The thought process that American companies aren't harvesting data and other info about their users is a fucking joke. 95% of the money Google makes is based on harvesting data of people using their website, this is the same for nearly every other social media site.

Clearly that worth waiting over a week for you to hop onto your alt to say. And kinda hilarious for you to say on your gimmicked-up alt. That's not touching on the stupidity of your original comment, although I know that's part of your act.

Yeah, if you're going to wait until long after a topic is dead to reply to something, at least do it on your main like Zeus does!

I'm 41 and on here
