My gaming days are behind me it feels like. I get into stuff with my kids here and there, but my love for gaming kinda went away, and that’s okay.

I got into reading big when I was a lifeguard. I worked at pools that nobody came to, and so I’d just read. It ebbed and flowed in my 20s, but I’m 37 now, and reading is my go-to leisure activity. I’m big on fantasy because I guess I want to escape reality, but there just isn’t really an activity comparable to getting into a good book.

So this certainly isn’t to dissuade any sort of gaming, I did play BG3 and loved it, because I played the shit out of BG2 back in the day. But I will wholeheartedly stand behind your suggestion to others, if you aren’t a reader, take it up. There are so many worlds out there that you’d never think of.
