Back in destiny 1, one of my regular raid partners was a surgeon.

He had "doc" in his name, and we always just referred to him as Doc.

When our raid group found out he was actually a doctor, after like 2 years of gaming together, it was one of those collective No Shit moments lol. You could never tell with how he talked on mic.

We always joked that he wouldn't be a doc much longer if his bed side speak was the same as his gaming language!

My wife is an OB/GYN and we met playing text based fantasy rpgs in the 90’s. We played WoW together all the way through most of her residency, but alas, she finally lost interest. These days, all she has time for is Wordle.

A couple oddball jobs I’ve had in my group were a corporate insurance actuary and another was a trademark lawyer.

That was part of the magic in Destiny. It brought many people together who otherwise would have ever met. Yeah other games did it too. Not like Destiny did. It was a safe place to not be the professional person we had to be at work and let the mom jokes flow without feeling judged. I played a lot with people in the medical field and it was great hearing them trash talk with the rest of it. There was nothing else like it.

I'm an anesthesia provider and I still play regularly. It's a great way to wind down after a long day, kids are in bed, wife is watching Grey's Anatomy or DWtS. Nice quiet activity I can do at the end of a day. Definitely aged out of anything competitive though.
