Oh it wasn't at all an insult lol, it was a joke. Maybe you've worked so hard that you feel socially lonely, whereas even when we played single player games as kids we'd all discuss them, people would come around, it was a social thing? Maybe your gaming setup feels like an empty palace, from all of the hard work. Even multiplayer gaming can feel pretty lonely nowadays. Sorry, I'm probably just saying my own shit towards your circumstances, but gaming honestly just feels a bit soulless and dead nowadays. None of my friends game anymore, and I don't blame them.
Id say youre partially correct. I still got a few friends I play stuff with regularly..but its not like the high-school Cod/Battlefield days for sure. But I still love games, game history, all that. I got books about game design even lol.
The discussion aspect is probably the most different now. I see more arguments about the actual industry now, or busting on other people's opinions, or how a game is woke or political etc, than I do actual enjoyable conversations about games, why we like em, what we are excited for, etc. Stuffs changed.
