Just read another comment in here which got me to thinking. I’ve only really been a gamer for 15-20 years. Retired now so got a late start. My first big game was, and still is, World of Tanks.

Decided a while back to take piano lessons with my kids’ teacher. Her boyfriend was a huge gamer. Got to talking and he mentioned this “new base-building game” called Factorio. I gave it a whirl and never looked back. I do take a few years off now and then but it’s fun coming back and trying like hell to understand all of the new stuff they’ve added.

TL;DR If I my kids had never taken piano lessons I wouldn’t be here now.
