I’m an older dude whose phase of staying up all night playing was back in the early console days. I prefer in-person tabletop RPGs like D&D, Traveller and Call of Cthulhu. Just not into computer games anymore, but that and social media seem to be most people’s primary computer activities.
Game chatter has changed over the years - I used to see a lot of talk about graphics quality and massively powerful hardware - maybe that was during a period when it was rapidly improving, I dunno. But the current focus seems to be more on game industry business decisions sucking.
Anyway I’m just wondering how common it is to use computers more for coding and other technical non-game stuff.
I havent been gaming lately, I like playing with 3d software like blender, messing around setting up websites with vps and learning to setup my own fediverse instances, might go into local webdev or do some dropshipping, might do nothing with it, just fun to learn.
I’ve also pretty much hit every genre/platform of game so I got burnt out and tried gamedev before swiftching to arr, I like that I can have an idea and make something close to a final result without spending years (none of my game ideas are realisitic while with 3d art/animation thats viewed as a video you can get away with a lot!
Could only wait for the game that lets me be creative for so long, wish there was more realtime physics sim stuff outside of fames
