Mine would be creating pen and paper ciphers for my made up secret communication needs.

        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

        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.

      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… "

      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.
