How often do you play games with friends these days?
How an adult with family, job, responsibilities and other hobbies outside of gaming has time to organize a night "with the boys" to play video games escapes me.
When I was a child I cherished playing halo over lans with many friends, or playing cod with the Boyz in high school but now it is so difficult to organize people to play online and when you do, people need so much time in advance and then likely drop out from other commitments anyways.
Gaming takes a back seat for those with actual lives...
I'm glad there's still great indies, single player games and retro titles to keep a gamer happy in these days of a lack of time.
This video made me think of the misc and inspired this topic...

For me, this is the beauty of gaming on Steam. It's more than just a gaming platform, it's basically social media. Me and my friends don't play much together anymore. Adult life has us having very different schedules. But they still play games everyday. And on Steam, even when I only see their status that they played a game recently, or when I'm playing a game and I can see on my friends list that they're playing other games, that makes me feel like we're just in a game room and we're all still playing together, just different games each.

I'm enjoying a great single player game. Buddy #1 and #2 are also enjoying their single player games. Sounds chill to me.

Depends on the friends
Some, rarely.
Apex friends, like once a week. Sometimes more, sometimes less
It's not really hard to send a text and figure out a time we can sit and play for a n hour or two. Sometimes it's spur of the moment, sometimes we plan ahead. As with anything worth doing, it sometimes takes a little effort.

solo play nowadays between work and other obligations. the old days of couch or online multiplayer between friends is dead. to be fair I wouldnt be interested in most modern gen z multiplayer games though. I liked the old days of older titles of madden and halo.

But it's somehow impossible for a grown man to find an hour or two per week that lines up with another human being to play a video game together? But it's perfectly reasonable that a grown man with a job and a life can be internet posting sometimes 100 times per day until 5 am?

I hang out with a college buddy once a week and we play games. Usually older stuff (6th gen and back).

He spent his Friday night making a thread about e drama then proceeding to post the entire night. And I mean, literally, the entire night.
It's 10am here on the east coast so probably his bedtime
