/vr/ - Retro Games

Anyone here, zoomers included, have a gaming dad? I'd like to read your experiences, so I will share mine.

My Dad is well past 60 years old and plays Diablo II on my downstairs computer constantly. Really most of the day every day. He has done this for a good 5 years or so. Pic related is a potato scroll through the browser history on my computer.

Before this he did Runescape, in which he actually showed me up and contributed to my quitting. When he began, I felt like a big man just being able to afford and equip a whip. In no time he had 99 in every combat skill, and he didn't even "buy" Prayer he would literally just bury every bone he saw. He had full Dragon with the goofy full plate and full helm that came out in 2.5scape era, both worth dozens and dozens of millions of gold.

When I remark on things he gives me classic Dad information/advice just like he always has. Burying the bones is just the responsible thing to do if you don't have 99 Prayer. You shouldn't waste your money on skills you can train for free if you want to afford a 40 mil red helmet. You shouldn't wear anything you're not willing to lose
>but Dad you're wearing full dragon
>he winks
>It's okay if I lose this, anon.

He was retired from work due to health problems and without being tainted by NEETs online he adapted to NEETdom while staying quintessentially my Dad. He would just grind away while I was gone and when he had exhausted all of the games content (other than things he directly refused to do i.e. cooperate with strangers online in any way) he abruptly quit.

Tell me about your gaming Dads, anons. The older the better. I want to hear about retirees and octogenarians who are or were obsessed with random old games.
