    What is this “retirement” you speak of?

    Oooh! The period where they put us all out on an ice flow when we become too old to work!

        I always thought the “ice floes” was just figurative, but apparently there actually used to be ice there! TIL~!

      Might just be autocorrect landing on the more commonly-used word but if you’re interested, a floe is a sheet of floating ice. Sounds the same as flow but they are different things.

      Too old to work under current technology? Don’t worry your years on ice will not be in vain as we will awaken you as soon as the technology is available to get you back to work. You got to pay off that cryo stasis debt you didn’t ask for after all.

        Who do we call the enemy? 
        My children, my children
        Who do we call the enemy?
        
        Who do we call the enemy?
        The enemy is poverty
        And the wall keeps out the enemy
        And we build the wall to keep us free
        That's why we build the wall
        We build the wall to keep us free

          I’m 100% confident that once elderly people make up a good chunk of the gaming market, games will be made that accommodate whatever reflexes they have. If enough people with Parkinson’s want to play first person shooters, there’ll be first person shooters that people with Parkinson’s can play

          I don’t know about that, I’ve had extremely tense wars because both my opponent and I kept trying to make extremely fast plays with camel archers and knights, then awaiting for the other to charge and counter them. Almost worse than AoE2.

      No worries, by then Latin is replaced by Equally Dead Internet Language as a prerequisite to become a doctor.

        Ah! the good old cycle of replacing the old with a new thing! Only so we know who is hip like us. Only then can they be doctors like us 🧐 * gumball-sophisticated-laugh.wav *
