You are playing the wrong games, baka OP.

One is hardcore into meetups while the other is trying his best to do stand up.

Still hang out with them once in awhile when our schedules match for free time.

Also, still hang out with some high school buddies too from time to time.

I play games more with my online friends though so it all works out.

We've even met up once before and went to a LAN Center before.

Had good times and still have good times.

Oh, and another childhood gaming friend got deported to Mexico and went on to get married and have a kid.

All my friends are either normalfag family men and basically stopped gaming or broke because they spend all their money smoking/drinking or in prison.

My internet friends that I've never even seen before are practically all that matters now and the rest are distant memories.

>One dropped off the face of the earth a few years after highschool.
>One went to medschool and is never online anymore.
>Two just got very distant over the years and usually don't even respond to me anymore.
>Best friend still plays vidya whenever he can, but is busy working two jobs and doesn't have the time often.
Shit sucks, we still did LANs regularly every month or two up through 2013 and then things just fell apart from there. Wish I could win a lottery and bail my one friend out of the financial hole he dug for himself.

>tried to force himself on the girl I'm currently dating
I wasn't seeing her at the time, but still

You don't bail friends out of financial holes they dug for themselves, they'll just go right back in. Fucker needs to learn the hard way or he won't learn at all.

Mmm lets see
>ones an alchoholic cook at a thai kitchen
>one never left the house after highschool
>one failed a paramedic course

I still play games with them, actually
Everyone lives far apart and is busy, but usually after everyone is done with work we'll log onto discord and play a game or two. It's nice.

>Got into a small community of Warcraft 3 gamers back in 2004
>Still playing games with them daily 13 years later

Good feeling. Never met any of them in real life and don't want to, feelings are mutual. We just have fun fucking around in multiplayer games and talking about singleplayer games we love.

Still playing video games together. Some of them are even roommates, and a couple hooked up. I've known them for 10-15 years now, which is much longer than any friendship that started out face to face ever did.

Thanks video games

Sorry OP.

You fell in love with a side of vidya that requires another person to potentially get the most enjoyment out of it.

I fell in love with the single player and have no such worries

it's a mixed bag.

Wasn't exactly his fault, more a shitty family situation dragging him down. He started working right through high school to try and support them but all they did was fleece him.

All my friends were annoying assholes, our parents forced us to hang out. I hope they're dead.

All moved away
Main friend in particular completely fell off face of Earth (moved away, no texting/Facebook/email/etc.) I'd track him down if I had any idea where he was but oh well.

I don't know. I lose contact with everyone because I'm self centered I guess. Can't blame anyone else when it happens literally every time.

>>383870710
not the person you're replying to but learning from my family's mistakes I'll tell you this; help a loved one out, but only give them enough help to get them back on their feet. never keep helping them just because they ask for it or are in a bad situation.
it sounds easier than it is, but you really have to be fairly cold about it.
>do you any extra vehicles you are using/don't need
>are you paying for someone's expenses when you don't need to be
>can you nix something that is costing you significant monthly expenses
people don't stay poor because of their situation, unless they have a mental disability. they stay in that economic class because they are bad with money for one reason or another.
gifting people money will never help them in the end.

His main issue is credit card debt. His awful family realized they could fleece him for thousands by getting him to sign up for a bunch of cards while he had great credit, promise to cover the payments for the stuff they bought or financed in his name, but then in the end leaving him with the bill. On his way to recovering but it will be another two years or so of working two jobs before he's out of the hole, which is why I would want to bail him out if I could. He is a hard working guy and isn't bad with his money, family just exploited him while he was naive.

I can respect that, but people with good intentions can also be the hardest to teach.
the best way to learn a lesson is the hard way.
in the end do what you will, but I'm just saying think about the situation and don't rush to aid too hastily.

>two friends are engineers that still live in town as me that we all grew up in
>we've been co-oping through dying light

That game is great co-op. And in the beginning zombies are actually scary. Also like the music however sparse it may be

Dad would beat me if I played video games, then he would have his way with me and make me lick his tattoos. Mom told me men had no value and that women were superior and didn't let me go outside unless it was to school. Brother beat me if I did good at video games. My tulpas have to work through me to play them. Even in my 30s I still solo whatever I can in MMOs and then play with randos when I can't.

Couple of the guys still around but they never evolved into PC gamers. Keep my PS+ subscription just so I can join the occaisional console multiplayer invite. One of my childhood friends is trying to get into DOTA2 but he'll eventually give up and go back to overwatch. at least he plays that on PC. Other friend just plays stuff like eurotruck simulator and factorio by himself. I spend most of my free time playing nintendo games wherever I can, always alone desu
