    I used to party a lot (too much) when I was younger. Every damn weekend I was “on the go”. Now I don’t want to go anywhere. Now if I want to “party”, I drink beer at home, listen to music and maybe play some video games. Alone.

        Everything is online now, so inviting friends over us counter-intuitive.

        I’m just old enough to have fond memories of Xbox LAN parties, multiCube Double Dash, and Zelda: Four Swords.

        …well, maybe not so fond on 4 swords, I think I still have Fire Rod PTSD.

          Sounds like you need better worse friends.

          Old dude video game club?

          20somethings who get wasted while you have a beer?

          Invite the local kids (and their parents of whatever kibd you think are cute) over?

          Omg, too real. My reaction speed is consistently 60+ ms above my friends so they beat me with reflex alone.

      This is me. Lol.

      I remember in COVID enjoying beer and whisky while roaming around the witcher 3. What an adventure. It was my first playthrough and I had all the expansions.

      Yeah, those nights are so few and far between anymore. And I always just tell people, how is this night different than the hundreds of thousands of other nights between 2008 and 2020?
