Is it worth getting into video games? (lemmy.world)

I’m a 30 year old woman who’s only really played card and puzzle games on my phone. Im considering new hobbies. Is it worth trying to get into video games for the first time. Where would I even start.

This is an asklemmy thread, not a gaming community, why the downvotes?

I used to love gaming. I still game a bit but I feel like I am wasting my time when I could be biking, hiking, cleaning, fixing stuff, or volunteering.

I mostly game as a way to connect with gamers now. Family Mario kart, family Pokémon playthroughs, etc.

Same goes for MTG. Used to love it, still take some enjoyment from it, but less so because I feel my time could be better spent. Also 100 card decks are too big to shuffle.
