I'm a nearly 50 year old long time PC game player. I started gaming on a VIC 20, then a Commodore 64. Due to having it available at school, I even gamed some on Apple IIc and IIe. I built my first PC in the early 90's which was MUCH tougher than today. I have never owned any gaming consoles.
Now, I play something most every night. Some might consider me a "casual" gamer because I rarely ever PvP. But, I do like chasing achievements up to a point. I will not play content I hate just to complete them. I mostly run solo in my games.
Overall, I like challenging games, but generally not the highest difficulty. For instance, in The Division 1, I have solo'd 2 legendaries without dying. But, I generally prefer to run everything in Challenging mode instead. In Breakpoint, I generally run Immersive Mode with limited HUD.
I am a systems administer by trade. I started professionally at it in 1998 and have slowly crept up the ladder. My current position; I am one of 2 state-side System Admins covering 3 locations plus India location. All together, about 1500 users with 3 at my level, and two lower level admins to run it all.
I love classic cars. I have a 1983 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds 15th Anniversary model.
I am a big gun collector in real life. I also spend a lot of time outdoors fishing, shooting, and hunting. It is the latter one that gives me my screen name. When I was younger, I had some friends over and was all dressed up in camo ready to try bow hunting for deer. My mom, trying to make me feel guilty for hunting, called me her "lil bambi hunter". My friends thought that was hilarious. So, after some ribbing, they actually kind of liked it. More than one classmate at my 30th high school reunion couldn't remember my real name but remembered that. The numbers are my birth year. See, I'm an old fart. :-)
My latest PC is quite a gaming monster. In fact, that's what I named it.

I also have a pair of 2080ti's out in the system that I use for Folding@home. On games that can really use it, I'll use one of them for Physx.
