Hmm... Should I get into dumb VR games like BeatSaber? I want to do something that feels like intense fighting. Biking fast enough it's satisfying is too dangerous. Maybe unrealistic point based karate would be fun. I tried fencing once but it was shockingly lame. I'd join a dodgeball league but there aren't any, everyone wants to do like baseball and volleyball. Hmmmm. I wonder if paintball would be fun or tedious, I could see it going either way.

    Ah yeah I think we just called that generic "skirmish" where I grew up. There was a great field for that near by, but the bursts of action could be pretty sporadic.

      It can involve a lot of people camping for long periods which can get tedious. Having a round timer is usually a good idea. I used to have 3-4 friends that I would play with regularly, and we became fairly competent at some basic tactics. We even had some radios for coordinating eventually which was really fun.

        Yeah if I hadn't been so broke I probably would have enjoyed it more. The paint was extortionate haha.

        I just had a little random memory of running out onto the field at the start of my very first match and getting nailed right in the eye of my goggles. Like instantly and thinking "Ahh, so that's what war would be like." heheh.
