I've been remote for 3.5 years now, and that's the first thing I tell new team members:

You currently have a community at your office that you don't realize. You will need to be intentional about building that community in other ways now.

I get lunch with friends more. Visit my Grandma out of state. Played a ton of Magic the Gathering.

It waxes and wanes, but it's my job to build and not just accept the "corp culture" as community.

I'm curious how remote work correlates to playing MtG?

My favorite joke about MtG:

"The magic is the gathering"

a draft is such a good env to just hang out, and we'd usually end up with a ringer or two, so it was a good way to socialize.

I've waned a bit because I didn't like the state of the meta, but have been itching to get back in for the social aspects alone.

Traded MtG for CS:GO mostly these days, but wanting to get more face to face time, even though I've been surprised about how much a consistent CS:GO group has felt like community.

It's a multiplayer game, so it provides social interaction.
