I have this dream of building a dedicated DF lab with a cheap mini pc and an auxiliary display mounted above my main work monitor, but I'm terrible at following through with home IT projects and I need to finish my dedicated Slack manager first.
My wife likes to play Skyrim. Every few months I'll play Age of Empires or Caesar III on the PC for a little while.
I did play Red Dead 2 back in 2019/2020. It was in my view a definitive experience and I don't really want to play any games anymore in general after having done that.
I'm not a big gamer at all, but I think gaming is only cringe if you're obsessive.

Agreed, I think too many normal people play video games to really just say the whole thing is cringe. Also I love Skyrim but usually have to avoid playing it cause I end up addicted to it for 3 weeks every time I start a character
The hardest part of being on RSP is pretending I don't think RDR2 is fucking great. It's not necessarily the narrative masterpiece it's made out to be but it's still really good.
No. I'll confess to being pretty addicted in high school, like 5-8 hours a day, basically an opium eater. Then, I went to college and had sex, it ended my drive for vidya near completely. Like, I've tried to play some of my favorites since then and I just get bored within ten or fifteen minutes. I miss playing with the boys sometimes but I don't miss ruining my body to sublimate depression and misery.
pretty similar here except I'm now doing the moid equivalent to farmville and candy crush which is logic & puzzle, resource management and idle games. It doesn't suck all joy out of me, in fact it even feels worthwhile, so I can recommend it.
It's a fake narrative invented by frontpage libs so they can blend in and bully all the incels (aka the only funny posters). "we've always hated gamers" is our own 1984.
I've made more games than I played in the last 5 years. I don't know how to feel about it since I view games as a waste of time but I also learned a lot about programming from it.
Same and there's legit nothing fun to do solo in the armpit I live in and nowhere to meet people. All we have are shitty bars where middle aged men go to drink. No nightlife, no clubs, nothing for young people. It's the kind of place where you get trapped by family and if you didn't meet someone in high school or college then there's no hope. All I really have is a fun car I drive to nowhere for hours while listening to tunes and vidya.
No but I miss watching my ex play 2k and COD 🥺 he would have so much fun. It's like I finally understood why my mom would take us to an amusement park and be okay with not going on any rides and just watching our stuff. She just liked to see us have fun 😪

Yeah. I mean, I've always enjoyed the vidya, but now that I have two small kids and maybe an hour or two of free time a day, late in the evenings, it's pretty much the only hobby I even have anymore.
