That's... not really old. Heck, it's still relatively young.
I am 32 now, turning 33 in July. I don't feel old. I feel fine actually. The only thing I realized I can't do anymore, is drink like I did when I was in my late teens, early 20's. Especially beer. Liquor I still do fine with. But even in general. I just can't do it like I did then. Which in the long run, probably a good thing lol.
One of the things I've noticed is horrible heartburn from pizza, tacos etc. Just in the last year or so. 43 now over here.
I sure as hell can't drink like I used to. Back when I joined EP I was always loaded :lol
I can relate. No big deal with heartburn, but I can eat almost nothing that is fried, or else stomachaches come visit me. I also have to be careful with chocolate, even if sometimes it is very hard.
Yaaaay, hurt my rotator cuff. Now I'm using my right arm like a t-rex, cause simply lifting my arm away from my body causes immediate pain.
Yaay to being over 40.
Can I join the club? For some reason, my lower back's been hurting for a few days. It's getting better now, but last week I had troubles getting up after sitting or laying down because of strong pains in my lower back. I'm only in my early thirties.
Mid 30's here myself, and I can say that I've been getting really tired of modern forms of online "social" interaction and have been pining for some of the older community interactions. So I decided to make an account here and see where it takes me :-)
So maybe lets put that one down to an advantage of getting older... an appreciation and experience of things which might not be considered contemporary any more.
Welcome from a fellow Victorian :) I'm at least 10 years older than you.
There isn't much activity in the forums here now compared to years ago. Most activity is on discord, but yeah I dislike the social media stuff myself and avoid it like the plague.
We have a general hang out (chat) thread here in the forums, it can change when posts get to like 4000 or so but the current thread has been used for ages now:

If you have any questions feel free to ask, even via PM ;)
Mmmm, it's like that in many places as far as I can tell. Web forums are certainly out of favour for most. Which is a shame, as I do like the longer-form writing style it affords.
Discord I've tried multiple times... Even if I put the awful UI and awfully high resource usage aside, it turned out to be the straw which broke the camels back as far as too many chat platforms go.
But that's OK. I'm sure the people here will be more than engaging. I'll keep poking around and jump in when I have something worthwhile to contribute :-)
To think we were all little piratesdc
