Only like, 4~5 of the meetups out of like, 28 of the furry ones in my area are actually furry-specific. Most are general activities like rock climbing, going to an arcade, going roller skating, etc.
They're just run by furries, but I'd be willing to bet there are people in those groups who aren't.
Edit: I do agree that it sounds weird at first glance; however I'd highly suggest trying it anyway.
There are furry groups for car enthusiasts, arcades, rock climbing, horror enthusiasts, roller skating, skateparks, six flags and other stuff, all in my area. So, no, you kinda don't need to be a furry because the meetups range from furry specific to more general interests.
It's a common thing in the US, not unlike birdwatching. My grandfather loved going out and watching for cows. Then he would come home and tell us all about the cows he saw. Did you know there are like, 150 native species of cow in the US? Back in the early days you could just go out and get milk from wild cows. Now, however, they're overexploited and so you rarely see wild cows.
Look up furry groups around you. Start at the closest major city and work up. No, you don't have to be a furry to go to one. The reason why I'm suggesting it is because furries are some of the most welcoming and accepting people you'll ever meet (I'm totally not biased tho). Chances are they'll be some of the best friends you've ever had; so long as you're as accepting as them. They also tend to have a wide array of interests, with tech and tech accessories being one of the most common.

Riiiiiight. They can't afford a car and can barely pay rent despite being split between three of them, so they can definitely afford to move to Ohio.
I know several people who work at Walmart. I wouldn't say they are stupid, but they're trapped in a shitty situation where they all rely on public transportation (in Texas) to get to work, which means Walmart is one of the only options.
Tbf, a lot of major AAA companies nowadays can probably afford to have a $500m loss. The thing that gets me, however, is that it wouldn't even be a $500m loss. Just because you don't make money doesn't mean it's a total loss, it just means you didn't cover your costs.
At what point is the loss worth the knowledge of what did or didn't work?
At what point is the loss worth having made the thing, because you were doing something no one else had done on a massive budget, even though you didn't cover your original costs?
Is $50m a reasonable loss?
$100m?
That's where things get complicated and if all you do is look at spreadsheets then you're going to miss the fact that your attempt was still worth something, even if it didn't actually make money.
These companies tend to have cash cows to offset the losses too. Keep developing and supporting your CoDs, Candy Crushes, and League of Legends so you can drop $500m on a high-risk, high-reward release. C'mon, do something interesting... Are you really unable to make up for a potential +$100m loss when you have Candy Crush making billions for you?
What a strange occurrence. I wonder what sent him over the edge. Based on everything said, it makes it sound like this was hastily done in the spur of the moment. Did his wife divorce him? Did he suddenly become disillusioned with Trump?
Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley. Literally be gay, do crimes: the game.
Wobbledogs (I should put this on my steam deck)
Bugsnax
It would be for DS and Wii U emulators.
Second best was going to MFF. That was my first furcon and it was fucking insane.
Best thing that happened to me was meeting the friends who I went with.
I'm now gonna use the word, "overstand" when someone over explains something to the point where they lose me again.
