I’m an older dude whose phase of staying up all night playing was back in the early console days. I prefer in-person tabletop RPGs like D&D, Traveller and Call of Cthulhu. Just not into computer games anymore, but that and social media seem to be most people’s primary computer activities.

Game chatter has changed over the years - I used to see a lot of talk about graphics quality and massively powerful hardware - maybe that was during a period when it was rapidly improving, I dunno. But the current focus seems to be more on game industry business decisions sucking.

Anyway I’m just wondering how common it is to use computers more for coding and other technical non-game stuff.

    Presumably you’re familiar with Arduino/ESP - that’s been my playground for a few years.

      Oh yes! Loads of fun.

      Trying to get a good workflow for Micropython at the moment. It’s so I can make things easier for a robotics team I’m coaching.
