I don’t mean banter or just shooting the shit. but discussions or talking with friends about things in your life, or theirs… ya know, showing an interest in someone’s life because they matter to you or them having an interest in your life because you matter to them?
Two days ago via discord. I don’t live anywhere near the few friends we have, so Mondays and Wednesdays are two days per week where we have the evenings schedules cleared of anything related to spouses, work, offspring, and general adulting.
Those hours are usually spent gaming together, or just general chitchat. These days it’s usually Project Zomboid, and the dedicated server I’ve set up only runs on those days with a fixed set of hours (thanks, cron!), To ensure that we play together rather than someone soloing during the off-hours. Though getting PZ to play nicely with systemd was a PITA.
And if someone were to miss the times lot, then they only missed a few hours total - Yhings will mostly remain as they were last time they played.
off topic, your group should checkout vein as well if zomboid is fun to you. 3d style version of it, quite fun and made by 2 individuals. I think they are just at a point where they can start hiring actual staff to work with them so only better things should be coming.
… do parents count?? I don’t have too many friends, if any at all
Otherwise I indirectly helped a coworker find a BF a few months ago. Yeah I guess that was it
Very frequently, across two countries even
umm, do support workers count? If so, yesterday. If not, well, no fucking idea. probably years. I have next to no one in my life. Just SWs
Ha! Friends…
Me and my friends frequently discuss how we feel about our lives, jobs, our futures and what our plans are. The last time was yesterday.
Yesterday. As a matter of fact quite often, I’ve found wonderful people to have deep conversations about our projects for our lives, about politics, science… you name it. And of all places, in VR Chat. It’s the new third place, a forum to gather without the economical pressure of consuming.
Being freeware helps, I like to join bar maps and just talk to randos sometimes but right now it’s all about the Fish! map. It’s basically VR Webfishing.
Maybe 30 years ago when the arcade was destroyed by a tornado.
Oh lmao
Never had real friends…
I mean other than those “school friends” that you never hang out outside of school…
Every time I see them, in this case a little over a week ago.
Couple of hours ago. A friend I haven’t seen for a few days phoned to see how I was and we talked for about 45mins. In person, on Sunday, two friends in separate visits.
You guys have friends?
Over the weekend.
Last Wednesday. We regularly go out to a local pub for trivia night and converse face to face there.
Uh, I wouldn’t call anyone my friend if I can’t or don’t talk to them about that stuff.
