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.

Many have traded away their lives, relationships, opportunities in life for a gaming lifestyle that ends poorly for them mentally, physically, emotionally, financially, and sexually.

Thousands of amazing experiences I would have sacrificed hiding in a dark room plugged into a computer for no benefit other than self amusement.

This is the truth right here. I live a pretty varied life with lots of different experiences but have also gone through times that were a little heavy on gaming and while sometimes it's fun it's mostly just a huge waste of time. It's not good for you and it stagnates your life.

100% I'm regretting my continued habit to this day.

Quit. Right now, not tomorrow, not at the end of this game.

Right now. Decide to do it in your mind, click the power off and contemplate all the things you could do with your new found time.

Improve yourself. Make things. See places. If you blank out, come back, I’ll help with whatever I can.
