Why do you think these activities are obsolete? Meeting the other people face-to-face will always be nice, or not? And also playing together in the same room is much nicer than when you are separated. I'm quite sure you will still be able to find such events, if you want to try. I know a couple of friends who still do that. Speaking of something which has a similar feeling: There are the hacker events, such as the CCC, which is even right now: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/infos/index.html https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/infos/index.html (Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend any of these since a while due to having small kids... But I definitely will join them sooner or later again. Maybe then with my kids.)
