This is purely anecdotal but (imo) you aren't as (terminally) online as the Area Board Game Guy or Area Redditor, has far more invested in the diminishing returns that are Hating Things On The Internet™

One of the reasons I love board games is because they, as a hobby, work to defy the parasociality that's come to define our age. I love chatting with people, even online. But the beauty of the table is that we have to sit at it together, face to face, and come to know one another.

I tell people, “I’m not sure that I actually like playing board games. But I know I like hanging out with my friends and family in the way that the board game experience provides. I do like *designing* board games.”

I play board games more for the company than anything else, and it's why the experience is fun for me even when I lose. That said, there are some games I want to play again and others I do not.

Oh, I have all sorts of opinions about board game design and development. But, unless a game is just too long, I’ll typically be okay with playing it again.
