I consider myself reasonably social, by local standards :-), but by that I mean in meatspace. Back when MUDs were a thing, I took a look once and didn’t see the appeal.

It’s not like we lack for ways of connecting with one another when we want to, so hanging out in a rerun of Ultima II doesn’t seem like it brings a lot to the table.
Are you suggesting we should meet in Red Dead Redemption 2 ? We would have virtual food, a campfire, wolfs howling in the background while we humm. And a rather effective dispute resolution process :) Paul
