The vast majority of my game time is coop shooters, fighting, and racing games with real life friends on voice chat. We get to chat daily about things without spending an hour or travel each way.

So for me playing video games is playing with real people. We even play DnD on virtual tabletops some of the time and then play on a real tabletop in person when our schedules match up.

Board games played in person are great, but being able to hop online and play with friends for an hour more regularly is great too.

If you can tell the difference why do you need to explain "real life" with such extensive distinction for clairifcation the some people might misunderstand what you really mente, because blah, blah, blah...

I must apologize but I don't know what that means anymore. I'm watching that Normal Isn't right now.
