Video games. Even with how popular they are, it’s not something easily brought up in a casual conversation. I hardly ever run into people my age who even play games. :/
I’m 33 but most people I talk to in my regular life only play stuff like COD or 2k, maybe a big release here and there like God of War but that’s it. Most people aren’t playing indie shit or RPGs anyways
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.
I’m a 34 year old game developer. I always get an “oh, that must be fun” then they move on. Like I’m a kid making toys instead of an adult making art for a living. It’s like I said I was a YouTuber.

Absolutely. I play a huge variety of games and genres, I adore it as an art form, and love delving into the development and theory of it all.
“Hi, I like video games”
“OH LIKE COD AND FIFA ON XBOX?”
“No…”
“Oh…”
"Nice weather… "

At least you have co-workers that get it. Right? 😨
