I’ve stopped playing multiplayer games with strangers. I play tabletop RPGs (online, on a virtual tabletop) on Tuesday nights for 3-4 hours with some friends, and it’s an absolute blast.

Even though the stories we tell are goofy and not worthy of a pulp fiction novel, it feels like actual play and engages a part of my mind that’s seldom used anymore. It’s not often a video game can capture a fraction of the fun we have paving our own crazy story. Baldur’s Gate 3 is the closest I’ve seen in awhile.
