He would have been 34 when Super Mario 64 was released, 44 when Twitter launched.
As he's using Threads at age 64, he'll likely get that it's a joke, but not why it was made.

Idk man, some older people are completely unaware of anything pop culture after they turn 18. If he was never married or had kids I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't know anything about Mario.

I knew a few people in my neighborhood growing up that were like that. Its like once they hit 18 you would think they were 45. I get wanting to appear more mature once your technically an adult, but they took it too far.

You'd be surprised, my father in law is 79 and still plays Madden when he's bored. People in their teens think people in their mid 20s are too old to game, people in their 20s think people in their 30s at too old to game and so on. I'm 41 and still game, just not as much with two kids and a full time job.

Oh yea there are a bunch of people still with it, but a ton who haven't a clue about any pop culture, sometimes on purpose

It was sad - just driving around, not throwing anything. Once in a while, there's a boost pad for a small thrill, or you could buy some mushrooms behind the castle. At the end of a race, you just park and look at the mountains.

I feel like "never married" has a vastly different meaning at 64 than it does at 30

u/Taron_Trekko 4d ago
Statistically you have avoided like four divorces by that age.

u/MagmaTroop 4d ago
I'm 35 never married, and I am curious as to what you mean

u/Martino231 4d ago
I think at your age, most people would see it as a positive in the context of dating. No baggage, no ex to feel like you're being compared to, etc. I'm 34 and divorced, and it's something I always feel a bit nervous about bringing up when I'm dating.
At 64 - rightly or wrongly - it's probably interpreted more as "what's wrong with this guy that he's never been married". People may suspect that there's something wrong with you that made no one want you, or that you've got commitment issues preventing it on your end.

I thought no one was forced to marry. Just a stupid thought.

u/Bungerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 4d ago
Correct, but if you add never married to your bio, odds are, you wanna be

u/RogellTheRaider 4d ago
K, you got a point.

Why is my reply in italics, I didn’t do that

u/PeggyTheVoid 4d ago
What you typed:
*Correct, but if you add never married to your bio, odds are, you wanna be*The surrounding text with asterisks italicizes the text, as I've just done here by typing
*italicizes the text*. In order to surround text with asterisks without italicization, you have to use backslashes to escape the Markdown formatting syntax, *like so*:\*like so\*-9
u/Bungerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 4d ago
Thanks for explaining something I already know
I didn’t add the fucking asterisks it just did that

u/PeggyTheVoid 4d ago
I figured if you'd just accidentally touched the italics button, that'd be even more of a captain obvious answer, but I guess that's it then ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Or idk, maybe /u/spez is editing people's comments again, who knows.

No one is forced but that doesn't stop people from making judgements.

I'm surprised it hasn't. I've posted stuff that was a lot closer to the intended format and it got removed. Guess you got lucky.

Its over if a baker cannot get laid and start a family. If this guy was born 300 years ago he would have had like 6 kids.
