I worked in games for a number of years, so on top of being exhausted coming home, it was near impossible to not fall into work mode when I tried playing games for fun.

Welcome to the world of hyperpop, it only gets weirder from here
"He shaved 40 ants" may be one of the most unhinged sentences I've said all week while I told this story to my partner.
Ever since I was a kid, I've loved the video game series Thief, where curse words are often replaced with the word taffer. I chose it as my username, but then it stuck as my actual name when I later came out. Most people just assume I'm related to the guy from Bar Rescue and not that I'm a big fan of a stealth game from the 90s
I browse Lemmy almost exclusively, but adding "reddit" to the end of a Google search is still the easiest way to solve issues I'm looking up.
When I found Furi a couple years ago, 6h24 became my most played song of the year and it wasn't even close.
Super informative. I bounced off of Mastodon when I tried it, so a lot of fediverse concepts have been alien to me. This helped a lot.
It definitely takes an active effort to enjoy games when it's also your work. What worked for me was finding the weird niche stuff that didn't resemble the stuff I worked on at all. I imagine if you're a developer that it could also help get the creative juices flowing too.
