I’m an older dude whose phase of staying up all night playing was back in the early console days. I prefer in-person tabletop RPGs like D&D, Traveller and Call of Cthulhu. Just not into computer games anymore, but that and social media seem to be most people’s primary computer activities.

Game chatter has changed over the years - I used to see a lot of talk about graphics quality and massively powerful hardware - maybe that was during a period when it was rapidly improving, I dunno. But the current focus seems to be more on game industry business decisions sucking.

Anyway I’m just wondering how common it is to use computers more for coding and other technical non-game stuff.

    I know you said you’re not into games much anymore but If you’re into D&D you might like Baldur’s Gate 3. I also know of a group for older gamers if you’re ever thinking of dabbling again.

      Thanks, a friend of mine is also trying to get me to play BG3. I do have an Oculus headset and have enjoyed playing Demeo on it, a D&D-style 3d game, just not often.

        It’s a discord group, only reason I really use the platform. It’s a fairly active group of 30+ year old gamers. I’ve yet to find a similar group on any platform that’s decently active.
