I haven't been a gamer since the 90s. I'm also not a fan of TV or new movies or dressing up in fursuits with my dick hanging out or anything like that. So I'm finding it hard to find a social scene that I enjoy.

I feel like a social outcast. Gaming seems to be the current 'scene' that has replaced many of the traditional forms of social interaction that I used to enjoy before they went woke and retarded. I'm not in it. (There's still cafe culture of course, but I'm not gonna get jabbed just so I can buy overpriced coffee and chat to a bunch of anemic socialists.)

Am I right to feel this way? Does becoming a gamer bring a sense of joy and a feeling of social fulfillment? Or are gamers in reality a bunch of sad obese losers with health problems? I have no idea because I'm not in it. Do the RGB accessories help or do they just remind you that you're all alone in a dark room by yourself?

If gaming is worth getting into, what is a good way to break into the gaming scene? I stopped playing games around the year 2000 when they stopped being fun and turned into big corporate moneymakers with tiresome cutscenes.

I'm 31 and have gamed as long as I remember.

It is dying. There are select ones that are worth playing but the majority are terribly written woke shit, half ass releases, money grabbing dlc, etc.

The good gaming days started to die stepping 2010.

Definitely recommend going back and playing AAA titles that were incredible hits for their time. Nothing really stands out for longer than a few months these days.

Especially with this battle royale obsession.

Just like movies, most are not worth your time.

I keep watching everything new to give anything a shot. Nothing has been more entertaining than older films written well.
