The other side of this post: I fucking LOVE TTRPGs. I've struggled and "quit" multiple times before realizing (finally) that it's impossible for me. Sorry to all other hobbies (I have a lot of them!), but TTRPGs are the best of all hobbies. Even when it sucks, it rocks.

A screenshot from the program monitor section of Adobe Premiere Pro. It shows a shot from a video showing a game named Liminal Horror with yellow text "Liminal Horror" and "Investigators". In the background is Liminal Horror with it being in a light pinkish color with the same black background.
