    If you mix video games and diy projects it can be satisfying and fulfilling for years.

    For me the social aspect is the hardest because i don’t make friends online and am bad at keeping in regular contact with my real life friends.

      I substitute socialising with small streaming channels. Like the ones that have less than 5-10 people watching ever. You can come and go as you please and no one cares, and you can make real connections and have actual conversions with both the streamer and other viewers. People with channels that small aren’t doing it for the money, they’re doing it to have people to chill with while they play.

      Some would say they aren’t real friends but I think there’s a point you can get to where I would disagree.

        I have a friend with a small stream and she definitely considers a lot of the people she’s met in chat friends.
