I'm starting a new job tmrw and I said to my wife earlier that I really hope someone there plays video games like me so I can finally talk to someone about them in rl lmao
I've worked with call of duty/NBA2k normies for the past 3 years and I'd like to talk to someone about Baldurs Gate or some shit
Man I'm even farther into the weeds than that. I play shit like Satisfactory and Factorio. Subnautica is as "normie" as I get. Even among my friends, many of whom are avid gamers, I'm just alone. There are big communities around these games. Lots of people play Factorio. Never met one in person.
You havenβt met them in person because they are at home busy.. playing factorio.
The question is what are you doing outside?
I get it. I have some friends that are huge video gamers, but I play different games than them and it can be frustrating.
