At 33, I rather enjoy watching people play minecraft on youtube.
I'm a similar age and my wife and I have just started watching the PokΓ©mon cartoons (they're on netflix!). She's seen them before but I never have and it's great.
Similarly we watched Phineas and Ferb and it was great.
Coloring. I don't do it very often, but I always feel better after I do. Apparently it's a recommended activity for mental health: Mayo Clinic: Coloring is good for your health
Pokemon games. I played all the games up to the Gameboy Advanced, missed the DS and have purchased all of the switch games. My wife and I actually buy both versions of each game so we can trade and battle.
What do you think about the modern games? I canβt get into them
Not the person you asked but I had a blast playing Scarlet even though I didn't really like Sword all that much
Sword is the one I tried out and I did not like it at all. How does Scarlet compare to it?
I liked the open world and encountered very few bugs despite all the reviews talking about the bugs. The battles are the same as any mainline pokemon game for the most part. The entire game is in an open world I found very enjoyable to explore, personally. In sword I was a little disappointed by the very sectioned-off open world segments. The fact that the missions are laid out in a non-linear do-it-in-whatever-order style is quite nice as well, IMO.
Yes! I hated the walled off feel of the world in Sword, so it sounds like Scarlet is more my style.
Cartoons/ animation. I'll never grow out of it.
Hurtling towards 30 so a youngun in your books.
But i like to whistle random melodies in public, communicate in weird noises with my partner at home, read YA fantasy (mistborn, assassins apprentice)..
As a young lad I loved and used my skateboard daily as transportation.
Now I've taken up slow longboard cruising and having a blast!
There is nothing childish about loving Avatar the last Airbender. Every time I watch it I feel like a part of the target audience.
Even the movie?
No, I was a pretty dumb child and even I was like wtf is this
What movie? There's a movie? It's got to be great. I'll have to watch it!
Taking things apart and then ruining them. Had my girlfriends oldtimer out for a year because of that. Fixed it but she never looked at me the same way again. Hahaha
My son bought me a flamingo squishmallow and itβs the best!! Also, PokΓ©mon Go
Kiff!
I love my stuffed toys and old cartoons because its much more simpler. Also, shoujo manga (which I'd die before i admit irl)
Shonen anime/Manga. I think it's due to the inherent buddhist and Eastern philosophy within the medium that keeps it thought provoking even as an adult.
I mean really I'm a big kid anyway. I think it's important to find joy in small things.
I'm with you but I don't really care about philosophy or anything like that, I just love the action and the power of friendship and other tropes that are just so positive.
I like those things too, im a little boy at heart. (:
I make a distinction between childish and child-like or simply the things from childhood. This isn't pedantry, it just serves to illustrate a way of thinking for me that's tangential to the question.
But, a lot actually. It is very unusual for me to not enjoy the things I enjoyed as a kid, and it is almost as uncommon that I reject new things that are for kids just because I'm an adult.
But yeah, I still play with Legos (as opposed to building kits). I finger paint (though I call it working primitive to the art snobs lol). I still watch some cartoons, and I still enjoy the ones I don't watch when they happen to be on.
Joy is a thing that should be cherished while it exists. It, like all things, is ephemeral, so if something that brings it is deemed for kids, I refuse to reject it solely because of age.
It's kinda sad at times though. My niece and my kid used to finger paint with me. Now they're too old for it in their heads, and I miss having that fun with them. The kind of silly play we used to do has been replaced with more structured activity, though there's still play and joy in it (even the knife fighting and general unarmed combat I'm teaching my kid and some others lol).
Retaining that sense of joy, cherishing it when it comes and being able to let it go when it moves on is essential to life.
I like avatar as well. I watch it and Digimon occasionally.. and I love YA books as well.
Poop jokes. Never gets old. Always make them.
Disneyland.
