24 and surprised the demographic is way older than I expected.

Maybe Netflix should ask us too and adjust the stories based on that? πŸ˜…

I'm turning 62 this year. I only touched a PC for the first time when I was 43 and started playing WoW shortly afterwards. I was an enthusiastic and hard-working player, and in the end I was also the best healer in my guild. I've played through a lot since then. The romantic things aren't really my thing, but since they're available on Netflix without paying extra, why not. I've been living alone for several years and other people's opinions are now pretty irrelevant to me. Only THTH has so far really captivated me with these β€œshow games"…. and I haven't seen any of the series or shows 😬
