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.

Sounds like you're more of a shooter kind of guy. Dynasty warriors and kingdom under fire are back and slash that you might like.

If you're in the mood for something slower and difficult kingdom come deliverance can be fun.

It's really difficult to find a good solo shooter nowadays.

Honestly if Fallout New Vegas was remade with a modern engine I'd be happy for a while.

I heard that The Outer Worlds is a kind of spiritual successor to that. Then again I heard that Undertale was one for earthbound and was sadly disappointed.

Yeah, I tried Outer Worlds when it first came out and was underwhelmed. Maybe I'll give it another chance over Thanksgiving.

Maybe I'll try Undertale as well again too, Earthbound was a favorite of mine when I was a kid.
