I love Unread. Its design goes out of its way to focus on the reading experience, not filtering, not “triage”, just beautiful, readable text of the sites you subscribe to and the basic management features to add or remove.
I also love that Unread has “saved articles” which lets you use that same interface and readability for random articles you find, without having to subscribe.
Used it for years, happily pay the subscription for premium.
I’m 40, but I play online with quite a few people who are my age or older. On the dating scene, I wouldn’t know because I’ve been married 19 years, but I’d guess that there is some reluctance from women (especially those who don’t also play) to have a partner who would fit the stereotypical “gamer ignoring his girlfriend” or dude who’s a misogynistic dick online who uses games as a way to flex his imaginary hyper masculinity.
My move has always been, and will always be, to prioritize people in the room, especially her, when I’m in the headset. If that means we lose, we lose. It’s just a game (though I love them and often get totally immersed). Most of my longtime gaming friends with families (I have two kids as well) completely understand, and I do the same when they have IRL interruptions.
As for if there’s a cutoff? HELL NO.
As for if there’s a generational gap? Hell yes…but I’d say you’re just at the bleeding edge. Keep doing you and looking for like minded people and you’ll just be the oldest of the “Old Man League Bball team, Videogames Edition”. My crew loves our version of that guy… and so does his long time partner. 🙂
Add me to the Arc group. Absolutely the best and most game changing app I’ve used in years.
I use Mimestream. It’s a beautiful, well-made Mac app (for now, iOS coming soon) by a developer who clearly cares about making a quality product that adheres to the platform’s design language and usage idioms.
I absolutely do not begrudge him for wanting to make a living from it, and currently subscription is one of the only effective ways to do that for small devs.
I also don’t begrudge anyone who doesn’t like it. We all get to use our money how we see fit.
