"There's still a bit of stigma against it here, mostly with the older generations"
Ah, who cares if i am already 40 or 50 or 60 years old and keep playing DDR Arcade or video games. š
They just never saw such things like that.
Or maybe they play also video games from mobile but never saw adult or elder playing a video game device in public.
We have to make them familiar with our hobbies.
So our stock take went well. 12 hour shift on the night, 9 hours doing reports the next morning. Today was moving sale from 44 bays into 27 ready for a bloody visit from the head of the company in a week, gotta get garden set up for that showcase. My Easter stock is coming in soon amongst the carnage of our stock reconciliation, basically receiving everything we lost over the last few months.
And yet the scariest thing today....was being hugged by a colleague because she called me over, I helped her pick out a card for her family, and she randomly just hugged me.
I have never been more terrified in my life. Actual human contact.

I picked up a hot glue gun yesterday. It has a special āprecision tipā. Iām very excited. Itās gonna be so precise. My kids want to make fancy jewelry for my wife using the polished rocks that are due out of the tumbler in a couple days. Thatāll probably be the trial run with the precision tip.
@ThanosReXXX That's good that you have someone you can trust. If one of my cousins, who's around that age, was into gaming, I'd consider loaning her one of my systems. Unfortunately she isn't to my knowledge, and her six-year-old sister would put a damper on things too. XD
Honestly, I'm probably a bit too careful with my things, but the alternative, at least where controllers are involved, is that awful hand-cheese feeling....ugh. I make sure my hands are clean before playing video games, plus I do a dry wipe-down of devices I've used frequently every little while.
@Anti-Matter I personally don't have a problem with what hobbies anyone has in their spare time, as long as it isn't anything illegal and doesn't harm others. Unfortunately, video games are the most recent media item to come under attack. Movies, TV, and books have also come under fire, but the latter two are definitely widely accepted at this point.
I think the main issue is how experiences between older and newer generations tend to vary.

@Tyranexx Strangely enough I never played the first Mario Party until my college days. But jeez, those "rotate the analog stick" minigames really put the hurt on the thumb. (The one I played was the one where you're paddling to avoid the Spear Guys.) I could only take so much of that - they weren't lying, I can tell you that much! Other than that it was fun.
@Knuckles-Fajita Humans are gross. A married friend asked me what I was doing for Valentines, assuming I had a date or something. I reminded her that people disgust me.

I love the technical side of my job. Screw customer service. Even newer colleagues have said I'm...let's say... Not all there in the head, so I just relish in being blunt. They like it, probably find it endearing. It's just my normal. I can deal with customers incredibly fast, probably because I know what they want, where it is, and can get them there with minimal words.
Then again today I went on a random tangent about Samuel L Jackson and a skit he did online about being a role model. Verbatim quoted the script.
I do wonder if people think I'm weird. I can do nice, it's just my idea of nice is...minimal fuss and go on your way.

@NEStalgia - That was the exact wording on the different packages that worked me for the upsell. There was original astoundingly imprecise tip, and precision tip for four dollars more. What choice was there at that point. People could have been watching, and I just canāt be known as astoundingly imprecise tip guy.

I still active playing DDR Arcade until today at my local game arcade and nobody noticed if i am already 35 years old man. Other peoples thought me as between 20 - 25 years old dude.
I felt disturbed to nowadays young kids that couldn't even play video games (console or handhelds or arcade) properly like they didn't even try or play seriously. I still saw nowadays kids couldn't even play Rhythm games (especially Arcade games) properly. They tend to hit or tap the buttons randomly or as fast as they can without even listening the music and always get Failed result or the lowest score. They didn't even want to learn how to play those games correctly.
The only reason I remember Valentine's Day even exists is because it's impossible to not see people talking about it online. But I never do anything with it. The only people in my parent's generation of the family who did not get divorced didn't get divorced because one or the other died first. And I've already had cousins in my generation get divorced after only a couple years marriage. At least one friend too.
Relationships fail. That's what they do. If they don't it's only because someone dies before they do.
