Do you prefer RPGs or FPS games? (ttrpg.network)

I'm Just curious about, do you prefer RPGs (Role-Playing Games) or FPS (First-Person Shooters)? Personally, I love getting lost in the story and character development of RPGs, but the fast-paced action of FPS games is hard to resist. What about you? Which one do you enjoy more and why? Let's hear your thoughts!

I'm a big fan of both, but FPS games that are up my alley have dried up in recent years. I was eating good between 1998 and 2017, but now FPS games must be either live service or boomer shooters. By contrast, there's no shortage of the kinds of RPGs I like now that we're through that genre's dark ages in the late 00s and early 10s.
