I'd say between 40 and 50 years old.

That's what I used to think, but on one of his shows. I think the Video Game Awards one, he was talking about why he fears being ruined and said something about being past retirement age which would put him up into his 60s unless I misunderstood what he was saying.

He said the goons bothering his mom were 'chavs'. Had to go search up that Brit lingo. Looks like CHAV is a euphemism for WIGGER, otherwise known as lower class white trash kids who have nothing better to do than fuck with people and steal shit.

It's too bad he didn't catch them.

It's a term you don't see used much anymore, when I was a teen you called any sort of street trash a chav. I don't hear it much these days.

The stereotype is white trash in Burberry brand clothes and staffie breed dogs on chain leashes.
What's the current English slang for lower class street youths?

Nah. One time he had a video about building a chair or table with his wife/girlfriend, and his girlfriend was between 30-40. I guess he is 40ish at max.

I must have misheard something then.

Recently, he broke his elbow when he tripped while chasing hooligans vandalizing his mother's home and from his most recent update video, he has refused a surgery to repair the elbow by affixing a prosthesis because of the chances of losing complete function in his right hand. The linked video plays at the correct time where he describes this.

Guy should do a surgery. My dad had a very similar elbow fracture in winter 2019 after tripping on tiled stairs covered in ice. It was shattered to the point most docs were skeptical about the possible recovery, but he did the surgery anyway and after a year of recovery the arm's function returned and they could remove the metal.

I'd be getting a second opinion, wouldn't care if I had to go abroad. No idea what the situation is over there with private care options but I sure as shit wouldn't allow the NHS to just take my fucking right arm after a nonchalant conversation. Hope he can find a way to recover somehow.
Medical care in UK is pretty bad these days, I have a friend who has gone into "Queue" multiple times over the course of about 10 months for his hernia surgery, so far the quality of analysis of his condition has been very varied, some doctors straight up dismissed his hernia, others said he needs surgery asap.
Definitely should go get a second opinion in a different country.

Hope your friend get the treatment he needs, whatever it may be.

Must be, because no middle-aged dudes out there are together with younger women.

The decline is complete - Mac is now a console gamer.

:negative:



Gotta play devil's advocate here. I have nerve damage in my right shoulder, and there's been times when doing mouse+keyboard is damn near impossible. Sometimes a controller is the only option when your shit's broken.
