RE: Supportive friends in Gaming
Yay for supportive friends in gaming!
Or anywhere really XD I've still got a few long term online friends that I met in forums a hundred million years ago. We're old farts now that have taken deviating routes but still check in every once in a while :)
Maintaining online friendships is tough, I'd say I've too many skeletons to remember them all now. But Supersoju is actually my longest running friend online; I categorise friends as those you regularly maintain contact with.
But the gaming community can be extremely toxic as I've discovered, which is why this new community is one I created. Starting groups is not my thing! It means a lot to me for those who came over in support and accepted moderation responsibilities, and I have found encouragement and readership in the kinder souls who took an interest in my PoE journey. I'm hoping it will be a place where people can meet other supportive players and become friends with. But only time will tell. The group is only over a week old and we just hit over 100 members. It keeps me busy atm. I still miss my conversations with @supersoju though. ;)
Hope you and your family are well. Thanks for dropping by this highly neglected blog.
Yes, yes it can be, as can any given community. Just gotta find the gems you wanna hang out with :)
Sounds like you've got a nice thing going with the group you started :D
So true re the toxicity, it's usually when I leave. I really don't know how well this group will go, only that I am very protective of the people who have expressed support. FB for all its shittiness, because it is shitty as far as privacy, it has done extremely well as far as collecting people into hubs of interest. I suppose this group of players has my loyalty and where I will primarily write for until it doesn't work. But at least I have a say as to who moderates and the general direction. I owe a lot of these players my gratitude for their patience and understanding. I can be controversial and demand I be allowed to say what's on my mind good and bad. It certainly rubs people the wrong way. ;)
Nothing wrong with saying what’s on your mind as long as everyone else can too and you all deal with the consequences 😜
It’ll be great 🙃
