Hello! I'm looking for a friend/group to play with

My experience: I played Valheim back when it first came out for early access. I have roughly 50 hours in the game, most of it from wandering around. My friends and I got our butts handed to us when we entered the grasslands and enough of us stalled out that we abandoned the game. None of them are interested in giving it another go. I have been wanting to play so I tried it alone, but the crushing loneliness and tedious work all alone is too much for me. I never get past the dark forest. I'd prefer to play with a few friendly folks.

Self stats review:

Combat ability: 3/10

Base building: 1/10

Base/supply management: 9/10

Exploration: 10/10

Sailing skill: 6.5/10

Tedious Labor ability: 9/10

Reliability: 10/10

Gameplay preference: I'd prefer to play unmodded, at a casual pace, without relying on exploits or min-maxing. I'd like to be a part of a fresh run with a new world and new characters. I don't need to be in a group 100% of the time but it would be nice to spend time together in discord voice chat while we play. It would be great if the group progresses slowly enough that we don't kill two bosses and triple the size of the base one day while I'm at work.

Availability: I'm available to play any day around 10pm to 4am PST. Whole days on Sundays. Note that I will not be playing every day for all of those hours. I'll probably play 1-3 hours at a time within that window, most days.

About me: I've never gone out looking for a gaming friend group like this before, usually I just play alone until I get adopted by some friends. But that's hard to do in Valheim without the game setting us up in teams or anything. I'm a friendly no-drama person who usually gets along with everyone. Other games I have been playing lately are World of Warcraft (both classic and retail), Palworld, Rimworld, and Skyrim.

So if you or your friend group might want to adopt a new (I hope not completely useless) friend for your next fresh game, let me know!

Faded coin, can you confirm or deny my guess?

Found this coin in my grandparents' old coin jar. I did my digging and fairly sure it's this one: Portugal's Pataco - Pedro IV. https://en.numista.com/24047

The dimensions fit, it's the chonkiest coin I've ever seen.

The only letters that are even kind of visible are on the crest side by my index finger. Thought it was "FI", but could be the "PU"?

I can try to take a better picture if you need it, but this was about the best I could manage. It's so faint that from most angles it just looks like a blank disk.
