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.

D&D gaming is worth it.

I used to love games but struggle to find good ones. I still think Dragon's Dogma and Dark Cloud are better than any big ones these days and gravitate towards replaying them instead of a lot of the new ones.

However, I've been playing in the same homebrew D&D campaign for years. :)

Our group meets every Friday virtually. I became very good friends with our dungeon master and after two years she ended up moving in with me. We still meet everyone online from our separate rooms in the same house now. When she needs a break another member will do little one shot sessions or we'll have game night with Jackbox. It's a nice thing to have to look forward to and I highly recommend.

P.S. Get a standing desk. I usually workout during D&D sessions. Back when I did MMO video games I'd do like 5 push-ups between wipes. It would turn into hundreds of push-ups a day.
