Any other "Technic Grandpas"??

[Sal Paradise]

I was asking myself: How many other people here are older than 30? How did you come to technic and how do you play it?

Technic or tekkit? If tekkit: With friends or with your wife and kids?

So if...

- you always place your bed near the bathroom

- you think the greatest thing about frames is that you can now build an elevator, so you don't have to climb stairs anymore

- firing a musket reminds you of the good old times

- you are pissed because the goggles of revealing don't have diopters

- the first time you saw an ender dragon you asked: "Hey honey, what are we going to have for dinner?"

- you tried to macerate bread to feed it to those cute mo creatures ducks

- you're desperately trying to make viagra in your brewing stand

... then this thread is for you!

Me I'm 32, I found the pcgamer demo somewhere and was immediately addicted to MC, I bought it as soon as the 90 minutes ran out

(I think it was around beta 1.7.3) and began already in vanilla to automate farms with pistons and water etc., so technic was the next logic step.

Today I`m barely able to play any other games, I couldn't even finish Skyrim.

I play exclusively SSP, and my main focus is to automate everything as far as possible, preferrably using many different mods together.

Sow how about you, fellow geezers?

Kaker is 47 and Cheap is 62.

[Fireheart]

Really? I always thought it was the other way around.

45 here, came to technic, er where are my socks?

Who are you and why is everything different to how it was.

Young people scare me.

Oh okay thanks for clearing that up.

[BurningCake]

Is it okay if this youngling comes and joins the party? :P

[Neowulf]

32 next month. Already tapping into that old geezer rage whenever some little shit who's younger than my username tries acting important and telling me what to do.

[The Merchant of Menace]

I'd better keep an eye in this thread in case any of you geezers fall over and can't get back up.

[MephistosChan]

Is that the totty looking for a sugar daddy. No luck here I'm afraid, 2 ex wives to cater for.

Of course, somebody's got to change our senior's diapers after all...

[TheGuy]

Me, I'm 14. Sooo old. I usually wave my fist at them young 'uns because they be so dabbly.

They so fubar.

[Nethaufer]

17, but my mom says I'm mentally an old person. Also, just gonna drop this here: 2112 is a pretty sweet album, and Rush rocks.

[Jay?]

I'm 23, and have two groups of friends. A group of old farts, who make fun of me for not remembering the day that radios first went on sale to the public, and a group of snotnosed little teenagers who think im old because i've been around long enough to remember shit like tiny toons, and phones with cords.

[Fireheart]

I'm 14 and I remember Tiny Toons and phones with cords! I think we still have an old one somewhere in my house...

[hoho]

I'm 27 and have been at perfect age for around past 15 years or so without any sight of change of that in near future.

[freakachu]

28 here. reading internet forums makes me feel very old.

[TheGuy]

Wow, you're all so old. I thought freakachu was 14-18 and Jay was ~18 :O

[Industrial Miner]

Just turned 16 on 14 may. :D

[Nethaufer]

Well, this has changed from asking for who else is an old person playing Technic, to a tell your age here thread. I have a feeling I may have contributed to that change.

[Torezu]

29. 30 in about a month. I remember phones with cords and rotary dials.

[MephistosChan]

When I was 17 in the sixth form at school we a special computer room. It had a single terminal, bigger than you're average microwave today. It didn't have a screen you typed programs that were printed on hard copy and the program was actually run at the university 15 miles down the road. We were considered very lucky to have it as well.

A few years later I was working on military avionic systems that could literally drop a bomb in a bucket, by the time I left at age 40 my unit was trialling equipment for the Eurofighter Typhoon with helmet mounted sights and the ability for the pilot to look over his shoulder and target another aircraft to the side of him and for the missile to come off the rail and turn 90 degrees to engage.

Yep things move on. I don't just remember rotary dials, I remember exchanges not being able to handle the demand and people sharing lines.

[hoho]

I remember phones with cords and rotary dials.

I remember not having a landline at all. Though being occupied for half a century by Soviet Union kind of halted my country's progression.

[TheGuy]

I still have one of them rotary dialer phones! I still use it :'D

[willempje2]

I'm 69 and love technic.
