I'm really getting too old to play games
No such thing.

Yeah, but:
Let
a be your current age at the moment,
a being a real positive value.
We can define
t(a) as a continuous function that gives us the average game-playing-time allowed per age.
However, if we plot y = t(x), the resulting plot is quite depressing, and looks a lot like
the plot of y = 1/sqrt(x). What this tells us is that the limit of t(a) as a -> +∞ = 0.
In other words, the older you get, the less time you've got for video games, which ≠ that at any point, you get too old to play.
Naturally, for big x-es, x ≫
af, where
af, the "fatal age", is your age when you die. This means that even at "death's door", you've still (hypothetically) got some time to play video games, which is within a reasonable distance from 0.
Naturally, there are exceptions, such as "being a YouTuber" or "not having a computer" (respectively at both ends of the spectrum), which this simple equation doesn't take into account, but they can also be powerful factors that modify the results. Not included is also the
ar parameter, the "retirement age" (
ar <
af (usually and hopefully)), that you retire on, which can also cause the function to rapidly spike up again.
But in general, your time for video games decreases as you go older.
Sorry. This might be a side effect of doing Calculus homework all day long.
. You guys are hilarious.
