While I get the stereotype you’re talking about, I feel like this is a bit mean. Idk. Maybe I’m a bit biased because my stepbrother is basically a halo only type of gamer, but he’s also a decent human being.
Similarly I’m not gonna shit on my old roommate, who basically only played the sims.
Getting paid after every work day, never having to work overtime, having random friends is a must-have for promotions, which also come easy, house and furniture are always clean.
Promotions are easy to come by, can swap jobs without any difficulty, and the only thing you have to worry about is the pool ladder mysteriously disappearing while you are swimming.
(also don’t date guys that seem to play certain games performatively like they saw this post and went out to match it) (a friend dated a guy that brought a modded gameboy to social functions and played it sometimes but he never really talked about gaming and i’m pretty sure the gameboy was more about the aesthetic for him than actually playing games)
(Unless she also likes MMOs, then you’re meant for each other)
My friend’s brother and brother’s wife play WoW together. They have their living room set up so they can play side by side. It’s nice they have a fun hobby they do together. (They also engage with real life, but they live far away so I rarely personally see them)
This isn’t always the case obviously, but this can be a neurodivergent coping mechanism. As someone with high social anxiety, having something I can focus on outside the social aspect for a small period can do wonders
I killed several really well going conversations in the past by mentioning that one of my hobbies is to play racing games with my plastic toywheel.
Like dont get wrong i'm fully aware that its not a sexy hobby. But if thats enough to tank an otherwise well going conversation for you then i'm not interested either way.
racing sims are a sexy hobby, that shit ain’t cheap up front and also it’s legitimately a good experience
oh I’m sorry I have a hobby that doesn’t require ongoing expenses, takes up little space, and feeds me adrenaline. you’re right that if that is enough to tank a convo then byeee
of all the things to be a dealbreaker, playing video games is… lol. not the kind of person you want to be around. odds are they watch brainrot tiktok and reality TV, right?

Sim racing is one of the most expensive video game related hobbies out there.
Ask me how I know.🤣 Jokes aside though, if you’re not competing in iRacing and you’re happy with a decent but entry-level/intermediate wheel its not so bad. It’s not hard to blow 10k real fast if you want to though!
Yes, just default Mineclonia as I am totally new to this game and scene. Just wanted something fun to do with my server as me and my friends stopped playing Valheim :).
