Amidst the ruins

I used to have a larger collection of role-playing games, but have kept a smaller core. There are definitely themes of the games I've still held on to. Cyberpunk and various post-apocalyptic scenarios are definitely represented themes, as is Cthuloid horror. I'm picky about science fiction. I've mostly lost interest in fantasy settings, aside from potential adaptation for a roguelike computer game I may someday write. A few games intrigued me more for the rules system than the genre or its world-building.

It's hard for me to bond with (high) fantasy to the point where I want to live out stories or create characters for it. I'm looking forward to the Broken Earth RPG, though.

After the richness of the worldbuilding in Runequest/Glorantha and Pendragon, generic fantasy RPGs had little appeal for me. As for authorized Tolkien fantasy RPGs, I would be too daunted to do the research to do a campaign right.

Role playing computer games or Dungeons and Dragons mechanics type games?

I've got dead tree tabletop as well as computer RPGs.

So the "irl friends" and the "computers are the best friends" types :)
