I’m 36M in Oceanside and I swear making actual friends as an adult on Long Island is ridiculously hard lol. I’ve tried looking at groups and activities, but everything seems to either be far away, centered around bars/dating, or I show up and somehow I’m the youngest person there by 30 years 😂.

I’m going through a major change in my life right now, and it’s made me realize I really need to start building more of a social life of my own. I’m not looking for a huge friend group — honestly, I’d be thrilled to find one or two people around my age that I genuinely click with.

I’m into video games (Halo, Gears of War, Fortnite, Smash Bros., co-op games), movies/TV, karaoke, billiards, arcades like Dave & Buster’s/Round1/Main Event, mini golf, swimming, Broadway shows, going out to eat, or even just walking around the mall and browsing stores. I also like talking about current events and joking about whatever ridiculous thing is happening.

I like casual/social games too, like Heads Up and Codenames — basically stuff where you can joke around and have fun. I’m not really into complicated strategy games or things like D&D, but if something is easy to pick up, I’m usually down to play.

I’m definitely not a bar/club person and I’m not looking for dating or hookups — just platonic friends. I’m also much more of an indoor person. Hiking, running and the gym aren’t really my thing lol.

I’m hoping to find people relatively local to Oceanside — RVC, Lynbrook, East Rockaway, Baldwin, Merrick/Bellmore, Island Park, Long Beach, Valley Stream, Franklin Square, West Hempstead, etc. I don’t want to drive 45 minutes through Long Island traffic every time we want to hang out lol.

I guess what I’m really looking for is the kind of friendship where eventually you can text someone “I’m bored, want to do something?” and an hour later you’re playing pool or video games, getting something to eat, going to an arcade, walking around a store, or just hanging out watching something.

I’m a little socially awkward at first because I’ve never been great at making friends, but once I’m comfortable I’m very conversational and joke around a lot.

Anyone else around here in their 30s/early 40s in the same boat? Feel free to comment or DM me. I’m definitely open to exchanging numbers and texting once we’ve talked a little and gotten to know each other.

Hi, does anyone know of a restaurant that you can pick up a meal for dinner on mother's day - not cold but hot - and it isn't going to cost so much money ! My mom broke her nose and is 71 and I'm trying to do something home instead of taking her out - Any suggestions appreciated and not just cook because I don't cook !

So I have collections setup and I'm using Nuvio but for example this show Star Wars: Clone Wars

• TV Series
• 2003–2005 /// It doesn't load in Nuvio meaning its appearing as only one episode thats 30 minutes -- this happened on other shows as well -- its there a way to fix this ??? -- Or a way to get the exact catalogs of the streaming services

: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361243/

I've been really appreciative of everyone doing all this collection work!! Keep sharing those wonderful collections ! One thing I'm noticing is that every time I try to do this, and import someones configuration into AIOMeta data the search in Nuvio never shows series - meaning all I see are movies - I am attaching a photo of me searching for the show "The Boys" and you will see that AIOMeta data isn't showing it - I had to reinstall Cinemeta to get any results. Anyone have this issue or have suggestions ?
