How does multiplayer gaming fit into your life? (beehaw.org)

What games do you play? Who do you play with?

As I've gotten older, I've struggled to keep up with multiplayer games. I don't really want to play unless I have someone to play with, and finding someone to play with is more trouble than it's worth. I have friends and family who game, but we always run into one of two main problems: -1) Our schedules simply refuse to align, or -2) We can't agree on what to play.

I'm always on the lookout for cool indie multiplayer games, whether that means large-scale like Battlebit or small-scale like Deep Rock Galactic. Some of my friends are either always chasing that absolute latest game (i don't), or they're real into MMOs (I'm not), or they have very particular preferences about which aesthetics they will take a chance on. It's a struggle, but I'm always working to figure it out.

So what do you think? How have you fit multiplayer gaming into your life?

I play usually with my spouse, and occasionally my brothers. With the former, we usually get pretty into ARPGs (PoE, Titan Quest, Van Helsing, older Diablo) or Don't Starve Together. With my siblings it's usually random stuff they suggest that's not too complicated so we can catch up while we play.

I used to do Overwatch, but the time commitment to stay good is just too much, and the games end up sucking more often than not. Haven't touched OW2. TF2 is still fun, and I've been doing a bit of Sea of Thieves solo but occasionally interacting with other crews. Basically anything that involves playing with strangers is usually not worth the effort for me.
