ISO: reconnecting a lost love for gaming
i \\\[27F\\\] just got out of a 2 year relationship and just lost my second job and i feel like my world is crumbling around me. my therapist says i should do things that i love again and have been wanting to get back into gaming for the longest time but i’ve been so out of touch, its kinda embarrassing trying to jump back in lol but it was such a big part of my identity that i lost over the years and i want to devote time to it again. i just don’t know where to start.
i grew up with every console in existence and played MMORPG’s, RPG’s, and fighting games. i remember the OG God of War and Fable being my favourite game series but i also played a lot of Street Fighter 4, MVC3 and Mortal Kombat. I stayed away from FPS games bc i felt like i was bad and uncoordinated for the demographic to keep up but i enjoy playing them uncompetitively. Also casual slow paced games like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley bc they felt too boring sometimes lol
Most recent game i enjoyed playing was Ghost of Yotei and i LOOVED that but wasnt able to finish it bc my ex took the ps5 when he moved out 🫠
Overall, just looking for suggestions and possibly communities/friend groups to join to help feel a little less lonely 🥹
