Let's be addicted to Fortnite together~

I'm 37M, and would much rather play with other 30s+ but 20s+ are an exception if you're mature and play to have fun, and I play on PC and am on North America Servers. I'm from GMT -5 and my availability varies, I don't have a flexible schedule but I try to be on as much as I can. I'd definitely coordinate with you to make sure we get loads of gameplay in together.

I'm not the best at Fortnite, in fact: I've got a lot of practicing to do and to learn what's what, like it took me a couple days to actually look at the menus and finally get into questing. Still aiming to get to lvl 85 just to unlock Bugs Bunny because why not? Bugs Bunny was a favorite of mine as a kid. I'm getting really close to lvl 85 now. Been XP Farming in the Star Wars Droid Tycoon Map.

Anyhow, I'm here just to have fun. I don't care if we lose many times in a row, but of course aim to win and it's okay if we get pounded on pretty early many times in a row. Haha, just trying to give you an example of how chill and laid back I want my new friends to be with me when playing Fortnite while I learn and grow! Even after learning and growing, I still just want to play for fun! So yeah the key points: No toxicity, Be chill and calm, play to have fun, just giggle or laugh and have a great time even if you lose multiple times in a row and don't give up, we'll knock those other teams down together at some point!
I really do aim to want to win and get better at Fortnite someday! Just with no negative energies if things don't go our way!

As for the title of this post, the reason why I chose "let's get addicted together", I'm truly looking for those who main Fortnite as their game to play. It's just way too much fun for me and I can see myself playing this over and over, over a long period of time.

I'm not snazzy yet like other Fortnite players are with the way they move using their "Q" grenades to hop up high and away, and other movement stuff for speed, I'm easing into that and slowly taking my time, maybe I'll get there someday, maybe not, I use Keyboard/Mouse.

I play on Battle Royale No Build, and very down to play other game modes, just not build mode please, at least not yet/for a long time. I just love Battle Royale No Build which is more than enough for me, I'm not a builder and can't build for crap lol.

I'd be down to use mic chat if needed, just unfortunately I may have to only listen in and type in text chat during the late nights.

That's it for me everyone, I hope to find new friends here :D

Returning Player to Fortnite

37 years old. Casual gamer and here just to have fun but will definitely aim to win. And I play in North America. Fell in love with the whole Battle Royale genre after RE-watching an amazing movie series called The Hunger Games, then just had an ITCH to play a battle royale game, and of course Fortnite is the game that pops up inside my head first.

Zero Build mode mostly. I'm down to explore all other content though, but no Build Mode, I just cannot bring myself to do that, like, before when there was no "zero build" and it was all just building, Fortnite was not the game for me.

Basically, my account is still new with just a couple unlocks along the way over some of the years. Currently just started on the Exalted Ice King Quest cause the skin looks sick.

So yeah, my brain just went kapoot but hopefully that was enough context about me. Hoping to meet others and make new friends! I use Discord for communication and from there, we can add each other on Fortnite if you'd like!

37M, unemployed, stuck in life

Wow y’all, I’m really stuck here.

I’ve worked food service for over 19 years and I was a full-time employee and they treated me very well, but one day, I just couldn’t do it anymore. I’ve grown tired and weak of it and also have health issues too that helped with wanting to quit. Standing on my feet for 9 hours a day became too much. So I’ve been unemployed for 2 months and a half and I’ve been very lucky to have such a sweet and loving mother, she’s the best. And I just want to do better in my life career wise and show her that I am capable of finding a career and standing on my own independently so she doesn’t have to worry before she kicks the clock someday. The job market is bad these days but I won’t give up.

I’m an introvert, and I don’t do well around others and feel like I don’t belong in the 9am-5pm job world, because of my anxiety and no social intelligence in-person, I’ve always done better writing on text/email/etc. I’ve always been a huge introvert and a homebody all my life.
I see a lot of people these days getting work from home jobs, including a cousin of mine, and I’ve been thinking that I want this as well.

Look, I know it’s hard to find anything work from home really. But if there’s a chance someone reads this post and knows of anything that would help me be set for life and work from home, I’d do it. I don’t care about be lonely for the rest of my life (if that happens) because I’ve been completely fine with loneliness, all I care about is getting myself set for life and not homeless when the time comes that my mother kick the bucket.

At this point, I really don’t care which career I get that I can find working from home. Because I just need anything to help me get on my feet that will help me aim towards something I REALLY want to do.

Right now, currently, I’m looking into Technical writing if you know anything about that? I’ve done very little research on Technical Writing but so far looks good to me! But please, shoot me lots of more ideas for a guy like me with no experience in much of anything or no certifications or degrees. Another thing about me being an introvert is that I’m deaf in one ear and hard of hearing on another. So I’d want asynchronous work with no phone calls/live meetings/etc.

And no, my health issues are not enough to get SSI. I’ve already tried talking to doctors about it and gotten lab results and testings done, but not enough to get SSI. It was worth a shot!

I appreciate you for taking the time to read this and hopefully responding to a very eager man looking to set a path forward with his life and hopefully be okay in his future. I type this with a lot of emotion and tears. And whatever it is that you do or are going through, bless you and I wish you the very best.

I hope I’ve added enough context about me and shown enough of what I want.

I just seek guidance. I know I really care about either running a business or just finding a full-time job that will set me on my way for life. I’ve been a part-timer for 1 month, not much work.
I just worry that my parents won’t be around much longer and I’ll be by myself,

And I just want to see myself succeed.

So I’m seeking guidance on my path. Please and thank you.

I tagged it as depressed because in a way, this is very depressing:

I’ve been researching and researching, trying to find out what kind of asynchronous isolated, work from home, entrepreneur business I want so I can make a living, but keep coming up short. I think I may be interested in apps where I help people through socializing and empathy through letters/emails they send to me for support. But, idk, I’m still researching what I could do.

I really need to find something and not just lay around all day doing a part-time job. My mother won’t be here for much longer, 5-7 years give or a take. And I need to build a financial stable life.

So just… yeah.. I need hugs and cuddles..
