My wife is serious who is the oldest/youngest person on the phone? Now I’m curious to! So who are you extreme age Rangers?
Level 41 ^^
Half way through level 40…
Was hoping to restart at level 20 but the ex-wife-to-be ran off with all the change…
Got you all beat for youngest so far. Almost level 14 at the moment.
Don’t judge.
I guess I’m solidly in the middle - I’m 38.
I’m sitting at Level 26.
22 Full levels
Currently, I am 14. As far as I know 2nd youngest here. By the way in case you are wondering why my name is M.47, my last name is Silverman, and silver is elemental #47, and my first name begins with an m.
Lvl 15. Wish I had an EXP Share with some older folk ;(
You are active in this forum, which is a good start in that direction, I guess?
Awww, don’t wish the years away… I remember when I was around that age I was desperate to be older so I could get a job, earn some money, learn to drive and so on… Now I am older I often wish I could go back and do stuff all over again, but with what I know now… I think you can often appreciate things perhaps either a little more, or perhaps just in a different way, when you get older… I can reflect back and think I wish I hadn’t said that, or I should have done this, I know I wish I had spent more time with my grand-parents. Thing is, whatever I did differently I could be very easily sat here saying the same things anyway…
The cool thing about having less experience is you get the fun of learning it all for the first time, for us oldies there is a lot less time for that, for example I spend a good 8 hours a week cutting hair from my ears, eye brows and nose… ironically very little grows on my head!
So, there’s my grand-pa advice over
In all honesty, it is a pleasure to share these forums with you younger people, you are a new generation who have the ability to steer not just your own lives and your games in whatever direction you what but make seriously positive changes to our world… Go for it!
I will be 4 decades this upcoming winter solstice 2016. Aww so refreshing
Level 54 here. Programmed on punch cards in college. Enjoyed every bit of the ride up to today’s tech. Still programming today and lovin it
I did punchcards for COBOL programming. I think the instructors were masochists COBOL is a very very verbose language very English-like: X equals Y plus Z, etc.
No wonder the guys over at Bell were working on a minimalistic language eventually called C (After A and B) maybe they were tired of punch-coding long statements on punch-cards!
I too have enjoyed the wild ride with the changes.
@WebDude I recently graduated with a degree in Computer Science (second degree) and at one of the forums for students in our program, the keynote speaker asked us to guess what the most important piece of technology was when he was a student, and he finally answered “punch cards!”
Level 27 here. I echo some of the ‘grandpa’ advice made to the youngins’ here, even as someone with relative youth intact: don’t rush to grow old. Being a teen, plus the early college years, are probably the best time to follow your passions and do cool stuff. Full-time jobs and responsibilities will consume your time soon enough… Spend your energy doing stuff like these courses, and hopefully those jobs and responsibilities will be things you enjoy.
I don’t regret my life choices, for the most part–it’s hard to imagine any other road, and I would’ve missed out on meeting some seriously great people or supremely weird experiences if I hadn’t followed the path I did (a degree in English), but here I am–level 27 and wanting to start over because I realized I wanted to make games, make software, make websites. And I spent too much time -playing- games when I was younger to invest much time then in learning to build them.
Then again, the world was lacking in some of the great resources we have now. Enjoy and create!
I don’t necessarily miss high school as much as I miss college. If I were to go back, it would definitely be back to my early 20s.
Level 16, going up to level 17 in a couple of months
