UK/27M Just a guy looking to make some long term friends
Hey! Thanks for reading my post.
Nice to meet you, I'm Baz, I am hoping to find some great people and form some long term relationships because it always feels better when you're playing games with others, or just chatting with pals.
I didn't realise that the older you get, the harder it feels it is to make new long lasting friendships. Back in 2020 I had a great friend group with lots of people to talk to and play games, people I could really relate to and bond with, over the years those friends have disappeared one by one, for various different reasons, partner getting pregnant, getting bored of games, until finally now, this year, I am left alone with one friend thats only online once or twice a week.
Some things about me:
- Chronically online, I work 20 hours a week so I have a lot of free time, and most of it I spend online playing games.
- When I'm not online, I love taking walks in nature to clear my head when I need to think, and I love cooking, spicy dishes are my favourite but really I'll give anything a go
- I'm 27 and from the UK, your age isn't an issue for me as long as you're 18+. I'm not really comfortable talking to anyone underage, sorry.
- Naturally I love gaming, why else would I be posting here? Go figure.
- Big music listener, my favourite music to listen to is soundtracks from games generally, but my favourite genre is probably metal though I'll listen to about anything as long as it isn't country music, give me some recommendations!
- When we talk the first few times I'll probably try and small talk until we know eachother better lol, but I'm happy with any kind of conversation, small or deep!
The games that I play:
- League of Legends(EUW) - This is easily the game I play the most, but it sucks to play alone, ESPECIALLY if you're a top main like me, I end up being the spare tyre in a 4-man group when I queue on my own. I need friends to share my pain lol, I love villains and edgy characters in games I play, so my favourite champions are Viego and Aatrox. if you play League on EUW, definitely reach out!
- 2XKO - I'll probably be playing this if I'm not playing League. I really enjoy my fighting games but it's a hard genre to get into when you're doing it alone. I've played SF6, Guilty Gear Strive, and For Honor in the past, but this is the one I'm putting the most time into at the moment, I believe that one day I'll find that friend that will enjoy sparring with me!
- I've been playing a bit of Fortnite at the moment, god only knows why I tried it in the first place, but I'm not doing terrible at it so I'm kinda enjoying it.
- I started getting back into playing PEAK at the moment too, it's the perfect mix of super chill and super challenging.
I know this is instantly contradicting what I just put above, but I'm not a big fan of FPS/TPS and survival-crafting games, I've tried most of the popular FPS games out there, and I just dont really enjoy them because I'm terrible at them, nothing more to it. As for survival-crafting games, to me once you've played one, you've played them all, sorry if you're a fan of them, but they're all incredibly same-y to me.
If you've read this far, thankyou! Even if you just want to talk about what's going on for you IRL instead of just games, send me a message or give me an add! This post isn't strictly about finding people to play games with, it's just about trying to make a new friend or two, or find a new friend group. I understand everyone has their own life, so I understand if you're around some days and then some days you're not, I'm just looking for long term consistent friends.
I'm open to joining a Discord community if you know a group of people I might get along with! :^)
Sorry for the long read, but if you want to chat to me and see if we click, give me an add on Discord or send me a message on Reddit! Though please don't be mad if I miss your message, I'm not religiously on Reddit but I'll do my best to watch for your message. My Discord is bazrington, just make sure to mention you added me from here, I look forward to meeting you!
