I don’t mean banter or just shooting the shit. but discussions or talking with friends about things in your life, or theirs… ya know, showing an interest in someone’s life because they matter to you or them having an interest in your life because you matter to them?

    Yesterday. As a matter of fact quite often, I’ve found wonderful people to have deep conversations about our projects for our lives, about politics, science… you name it. And of all places, in VR Chat. It’s the new third place, a forum to gather without the economical pressure of consuming.

      Being freeware helps, I like to join bar maps and just talk to randos sometimes but right now it’s all about the Fish! map. It’s basically VR Webfishing.

    Me and my friends frequently discuss how we feel about our lives, jobs, our futures and what our plans are. The last time was yesterday.

    Two days ago via discord. I don’t live anywhere near the few friends we have, so Mondays and Wednesdays are two days per week where we have the evenings schedules cleared of anything related to spouses, work, offspring, and general adulting.

    Those hours are usually spent gaming together, or just general chitchat. These days it’s usually Project Zomboid, and the dedicated server I’ve set up only runs on those days with a fixed set of hours (thanks, cron!), To ensure that we play together rather than someone soloing during the off-hours. Though getting PZ to play nicely with systemd was a PITA.

    And if someone were to miss the times lot, then they only missed a few hours total - Yhings will mostly remain as they were last time they played.

    Otherwise I indirectly helped a coworker find a BF a few months ago. Yeah I guess that was it

    Yesterday but my closest friend lives in my house lol. I’d be fucked without him around. The friend group I had basically imploded in my mid 30’s.

    If you count spouses, about an hour ago. If not, the last time was on Sunday. We were talking about my friend’s journey to becoming a commercial pilot, and my other friend’s small business. This was in-between turns playing D&D.
