It might be an age thing - I'm 32, game as a hobby, and work in software. 80% of my coworkers play games to some extent, and most are in their twenties to mid thirties.
But when I used to work in healthcare, I think only a few of my coworkers shared the hobby.
Generally, I think the younger the generation is, the more acceptable and "normal" gaming is. It's not a guarantee, but it's definitely more common.
I watch a lot of food shows, and he always comes across as a bit douchey and arrogant - but idk how much of that is a personality for TV.
I went to Bobby's Burger Palace once though, and it was pretty good!
I'm the oldest. I have a younger sister and brother, who are about 7 and 8 years younger than me respectively.
We're all close and extremely comfortable with each other, but they're closer with each other than me, given their closeness in age.
I don't live at home with them anymore, but our relationship always feels natural and picks up where it left off even after being away for so long. I think we've been fortunate in that we've never felt to the need to compete with each other, and I think of them as a constant in my life that that I can always count on
Yeah, I know what you mean. Its a hard habit to break out of though - I always feel like I should exhaust other resources before asking questions.
When I ask things without looking it up first, it feels like I'm not doing my best to solve my own problem before "bothering" others
I knew this was AccidentalRenaissance but I still did a double take at the horse. Something about the lighting makes it look slightly "textured" like a painting. Beautiful shot!
100% with the people saying to get into a hobby to meet people. You're guaranteed to connect at some level. Gaming as a hobby actually makes meeting people pretty easy, if you don't mind starting out as long distance relationships
I met my partner of 8 years on World of Warcraft!
An oversized poncho cape from the local Goodwill. It was woven in different shades of blue and while I'd never wear it outside, I've used it as a wearable blanket at home for a few years now.
I found out it was actually hand made, and costs 300+ USD from the original shop. Bonus points, I feel like a wizard when I wear it
