    I walk by some neighborhood bars, that are cheap and still some people go everyday like the Simpsons.

    Videogames are better. I’ve come to recognize some of the “local drunks” that are there every day, they do be like Barney from the Simpsons. It seems a little depressing looking at them destroying themselves with booze.

        They certainly can be. Plenty of online games center around socializing. It might not be enough for those who need daily physical contact but it is far from an anti-social hobby.

          Sure but the social aspect in games is often pretty toxic.

          I played quite a lot of Dota 2 and while communication and cooperation greatly improve your chances of winning… More often then not it was just someone raging hard over minor mistakes.

            Don’t know if I would have thought of Dota as a social game tbh. Maybe a more casual MMO?

            But what about keep talking and nobody explodes, overcooked or genital jousting?
