I am guessing he started as an older rookie. So probably somewhere in that 28-30 range which also would make him 41-43 in 2087 and then mid 40s when he starts to back off of managing. So if we stick to 28-30 in his rookie year that makes him 91-93 in the current year.

I think something happened on the return after the ban in 2109. I think that probably caused him to pause in his aging - he, Massif, and Lord Nexus.

You would have to imagine lifespans got longer in that hundred years of scientific advancement. So you figure 100-120 is more the norm in that era.

I'll go one better than that, and it's something that I've posited a lot about age and "years" as it pertains to the game before. We measure a day as one revolution of the planet. A year as the time it takes for Earth to go all the way around the sun. Age is our bodies' relation to gravity and the Earth's rotation. Once you get off planet all bets are off. How do you even measure time if your frame of reference is that drastically different? Then there's the fact that Tom was putting out two game editions per year for a while, meaning a game year was only six months. So even time as we measure it here is different as time measured in game years, which differentiates depending on the whims of the creator. Time is a construct, is what I'm saying. A persistent illusion, some dude named Einstein said. He wasn't as smart as me, so I just say "whatever, he's as old as he needs to be right now".

Super deep, philosophical, and even a bit meta.

It all makes sense now.
