Anybody here whose main use of computers is NOT games?
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
I know you said you’re not into games much anymore but If you’re into D&D you might like Baldur’s Gate 3. I also know of a group for older gamers if you’re ever thinking of dabbling again.
Thanks, a friend of mine is also trying to get me to play BG3. I do have an Oculus headset and have enjoyed playing Demeo on it, a D&D-style 3d game, just not often.
By a group, you mean a Lemmy community?
It’s a discord group, only reason I really use the platform. It’s a fairly active group of 30+ year old gamers. I’ve yet to find a similar group on any platform that’s decently active.
Thanks! If you don't mind sharing the link I'll go have a look
Sure thing! It’s an awesome community that tries to avoid toxicity & politics and just focuses on shared interests even outside of games. Right now there’s a lot of people playing Path of Exile 2 and Marvel Rivals but there always seems to be a nice mix of people in voice chat.
Very nice thank you!
