This isn’t always the case obviously, but this can be a neurodivergent coping mechanism. As someone with high social anxiety, having something I can focus on outside the social aspect for a small period can do wonders

(also don’t date guys that seem to play certain games performatively like they saw this post and went out to match it) (a friend dated a guy that brought a modded gameboy to social functions and played it sometimes but he never really talked about gaming and i’m pretty sure the gameboy was more about the aesthetic for him than actually playing games)

I like to play mmos, arpgs, and chess. Should my girlfriend run?

MMOs? You’re a lost cause, sorry.
(Unless she also likes MMOs, then you’re meant for each other)
(Also, /s ofc, but remember to take breaks to spend time together)

My friend’s brother and brother’s wife play WoW together. They have their living room set up so they can play side by side. It’s nice they have a fun hobby they do together. (They also engage with real life, but they live far away so I rarely personally see them)

Couples who play MMOs together have that kinkiest sex lives. There, I said it.

We did this for a while, but now it’s hard to find the time and harder to justify the price.
Instead, we find coop games to play on the couch with Steam Decks (unless she’s busy playing Silksong).
Nice to be able to play a few rounds of Unrailed before bed

Literally any suggestion of a type of guy who isn’t a basic bro will be followed by a suggestion that they’re performative within days if not hours

As someone with a modded gameboy that I rarely play I feel attacked. The fun part is modding it, actually playing is just a bonus. I only really play it while traveling, which I haven’t been doing often.
