Looking for people who are looking for the "old school" days of gaming [M, 35, CEST]
I mean, i don't really know how to begin this message. And in the end.... it doesn't even matter.
Had a few online gaming buddies, but as time goes on, those groups fell apart, preferences changed and so on. And here am i, still playing games on a regular basis. Like, sometimes it feels like, it's "wrong" to still play games like i do. I mean, i of course have other hobbies and activities, f.e. music - listening, volounteer author for a punk zine, creating music videos, collecting vinyls, going to concerts, cycling (hey, that's not related to music), swimming (living near the sea), writing (well, the author-stuff, but also started to write lyrics again) and so on. But there's still gaming.
Don't know, where i'm going with this.
I love playing games alone, but honestly, i would love to socialize with new people again and meet new interests. On the other hand, i'm not interested (for now) to join some weird discord servers, where like 30 bots are installed and people need tiktok, spotify and youtube run at the same time, while they are in a call with someone. Maybe i'm oldschool, but what happened to the "Just let us sit down for a couple of hours and play some games or just chat about whatever"? Still don't know, where i'm going with this. Maybe you, the reader, know it. 😆
I only play games on PC, but Crossplay makes a lot possible. I have like +300 games on steam, but mainly play games like Battlefield 6, Survival Games (most liked so far is 7dtd) and honestly would love to get back into Rainbow Six Siege... oh wait, it's called Rainbow Six X, isn't it? I also started to follow the CS2-Pro League for a couple of months now and it's a blast (though, i don't play CS). I'm also open for new games, but not really interested in sport- or racing games.
Personwise i would describe myself being calm, reflective and honest. No toxic behaviour, no screaming, no raging. I always follow the simple guide: Treat the other person like you wanted to be treated. You never know, how the other person currently feels, what he or she is going through. Maybe gaming (or whatever the other person does) is their only safe haven.
Absolutely zero interest and tolerance in close minded, racist and homophobic (etc.) people.
Maybe there's someone out there, who would like to meet up. If you're shy, funny, small, big, weird, kind, i don't care. Just be a human being. 🙂 And i'm kinda tired of people, which say, they want to meet up for games/chatting, but then never show up.
Native in german, fluent in english, basic-medium knowledge in danish, swedish and french.
Hit me up, if you are interested (new to reddit, not exactly sure, how this works) or you know, where i was going with this.

End note: I also don't want to join just another minecraft community server. 😆 But if you want to nerd about music (especially punk and hardcore) that's a really big plus!
