In spite of the video gaming industry’s rise, some people still believe that gaming is just for children and young people. Video games, on the other hand, have repeatedly proven to be a form of entertainment that people of all ages will enjoy together. Game campaigns such as Xbox’s Beyond Generations, which aimed to encourage old and young gamers to play together, demonstrate this.
Look no further than 86-year-old Chinese grandfather Yang Binglin, who plays computer games as a personal hobby. His grandchildren first introduced him to computer games, which he began playing on the PlayStation, and he hasn’t stopped since. He will go on to incorporate computer games into his everyday routine as a passion that he loves playing alone and with his family.
Yang Banglin has played and finished well over 300 games of his own, according to a video by the South China Morning Post. This gamer has been following all of the new game updates. He’s played a variety of games, including Red Dead Redemption 2, Ghost of Tsushima, and even the more recent Cyberpunk 2077. When he does, Yang Binglin stores the majority of his games in blue treasure boxes and also makes his own strategy notes on them.
Yang Binglin worked as an engineer who was still interested in technology, based on the footage. He began by playing puzzle games with his grandson before moving on to other forms of video games, especially survival games. Horror-themed video games are his favorite genre to play.
For years, Yang has spoken about how much he enjoys playing games as a fan. He made gaming a part of his everyday life by practicing Ping-Pong in the morning and then playing games for several hours in the afternoon. Yang said in the video that gaming provides him with a lot of motivation, which he then believes to have extended his life. After completing game missions, he would jot down notes and even write detailed reviews for games like God of War 3.
Yang’s gaming habit is encouraged by his family, who believe it is beneficial to him. In 2018, his granddaughter began posting his gaming videos online, gaining over 200,000 followers on social media. Yang also offers few words of wisdom to young players, encouraging them to love gaming but also managing their time effectively.
Yang says at the end of the video that he plans to keep playing games as much as he can because it’s what he loves doing.
