What do your grandparents think of your video/PC gaming???

I'm sure we have discussed what our parents think of our gaming...

But what do your grandparents think of your gaming???

They are of the generation when gaming did not really exist, well, not on large scale anyways, so I'm sure they have some pretty colorful opinions on your gaming!

Do share them with us!

Oh, and if your grandparents have passed away, what did they think of your gaming while they were still alive?

My grandparents passed away ages ago, and only my grandmother saw me playing Commodore 64 before she too, passed. She thought such games were of the devil. But then, she thought television was of the devil as well! Yeah, that was in the 80's...

But what about your grandparents?

My grandfather is always interested in the graphics. Grandmother couldn't care less. Lol

My grandma used to play some video games on the NES with me when I was a kid. I think she even had a little bit of fun with some of them, but it's not something that she would play on her own if she wasn't playing with me. And I think games became too complicated for her after the NES.

Aside from one grandmother they all passed away, and I don't think the one that is still alive know I play games. However, when the other grandmother was alive she was pretty ok with that.

One pair of grandparents probably don't even know what video games are. From the other pair, my grandma seems to be indifferent, while my grandfather has spoken against gaming for long hours but overall I would expect him to not have a real problem with it.

All my Grandparents are long gone by the time I got my first gaming machine in the early 90's.

I have only one grandparent and she is 93. She could hardly care.

@henrythefifth:

Mine are dead, sadly.

I'm sure we have discussed what our parents think of our gaming...

Nope, but many have complained parents won't let them play games here.

Quite a personal question for 'Games Discussion' at anycase. Better suited to Off-Topic Discussion.

Grandma plays mobile games and she's been bugging me to play this one with her by pointing out everyone else in the family who plays it with her.

I did have an octogenarian (or thereabouts) guild member in GW2, so that was someone's grandma. I find that older individuals gravitate to PC.

Mine grandparents were all born in the 1910s and I never discussed games with them. My Nan was interested in my iPad when I showed her holiday pictures one time as she couldn't believe the technology. They were all very 'old' so were quite stuck in their ways. The TV my (wealthy I may add!) one set of grandparents had was from the 1980s up until my Granddads death in 2013. They have all since passed, my aforementioned Nan was the last to go 2 years ago at 96.

i think my grandparents didn't know what video games are

@henrythefifth: I don't know how old you are, but my father who recently turned 69 got a Switch for christmas. He's gotten many consoles at various points. He got a GameCube a few years back. He had a Wii, he bought a modified XBox a few years ago to play pirated games. Right now he has a tv hooked up with Switch, PS3 and PS4. He's in the middle of Super Mario Odyssey, and he completed Horizon Zero Dawn recently. And he tried Fallout 4, but he didn't enjoy it a much as Skyrim that he's played a couple of times already.

also, relevant, google "Skyrim Grandma." Shirley Curry will have her own NPC in Elder Scrolls 6.

They are actually interested in watching me play. But just for 1 Minute lol. Then they lose interest. Some weeks ago I showed them Overwatch but the gameplay was too fast for them so my grandma got headache.

They aren't of this world anymore.

I was born a little bit before Nintendo shook the world video game by giving it a second life.

They don't think anything because they're all dead.

But when they were alive I was too busy hanging out with them to play video games. They did not live too close, so any time I got to see them was too precious to waste on video games.

That's great! Can't wait until I'm having LAN parties with my flatmates when I'm in some old folk's home. Playing Starcraft 8 and Half-Life 3. Who am I kidding, Half-Life 3 won't be out in 30 years....

My grandmother was living with my parents for a while and I would bring over my PS4. She swore she was watching a movie. Now, now don't go thinking it was one of those supposed "movie games". I was playing Blackout mode in CoD Black Ops 4. She loves her war movies.

modded Xbox? He should be playing Backgammon, Gin, and Dominoes with other elderly retirees!

my grandmother loves seeing me dance in front of Kinect! Lol but maybe she think that's it is just a box -_-

@henrythefifth: Lol! He wasn't retired yet. He got it cheap and used from an ad. He got lots of games with it. He bought it mostly for when his grandkids come visit, but he had some fun himself.

From my dad side I never met my grandfather (neither did my mom). I only met my grandmother as a baby, never after.

On my mother side, they never cared about technology beyond watching tv. My grandfather is 98 and has yet to even try going online.

My grandad thinks its okay ando meha.

3 of my 4 grandparents are gone now, but the 3 that passed could care less. I think there is a stereotype that video games are for children among the older population, but my, now, deceased parents didn't say much about it. My living grandma doesn't say much about them either, but she will give me gaming stuff for gifts. She even waiting in line to get a PS4, for my brother-in-law lol.

Where I live, old folk still disparage adult gamers, and loudly tell how in the old days, men had no time for such frivolities from real work.

To which I point out that they did have time for cards and boozing in the local watering holes in these good old days. And how is that really different from guzzling Red Bull and playing Fortnite all night? This really makes them pee their pants.

Yeah mine too, he loves mortal kombat!

My Grandad loved gaming.. Gran not so much she tolerated his liking of it.. ;)

Think he would approve of today's consoles and games..

Well, since I am mature enough to know wheres the line I shouldnt cross, my parent have no idea I play online games. I dont think it is necessary for them to know. I play because I need to relax and dont want to end up burn out because of my work.

My grandparents think that I spent a lot of time on videogames lol.
