I don’t miss video games at all. I moved to board games. It’s not like playing games with real people in video games. It actually is playing real games with real people in board games.
No. It isn’t and no, it doesn’t. I meet to library board game events in my area. Start with Love Letter. Go that in varients with Lovecraft, Marvel, Adventure time, or several others with it. Karmaka, Sheriff of Nottingham, Quantik (OOP, sadly), and more I wouldn’t mind recommending more from my two tall shelves full of great mental development. Video Games are more of a mind trap from neglecting the notion of living long enough to forget doing so.
The vast majority of my game time is coop shooters, fighting, and racing games with real life friends on voice chat. We get to chat daily about things without spending an hour or travel each way.
So for me playing video games is playing with real people. We even play DnD on virtual tabletops some of the time and then play on a real tabletop in person when our schedules match up.
Board games played in person are great, but being able to hop online and play with friends for an hour more regularly is great too.

Board games are more difficult. There’s a minimum requirement of at least one friend.

I mean most of the games i play are just board games on the pc, less cleanup and easier to play with others on discord than meeting IRL
