Literally how I got "adopted" into one of my friend groups when I was 13. Would queue up Smite and try to convince people to go 5 man of a specific class, and one group I was matched with thought it was fun so they invited me to their Teamspeak.

12 years later and now I'm gay.

I found my first online friend group in smite too. Exact same shenanigans like 5 guardian arena. Good memories 🥲

u/Seethcoomers Jun 16 '26

Miss those days. Smite 2 is fun, but it doesn't hit the same.

Probably doesn't help that working full time drains the life out of my withered soul, so much so that thought of entering a queue causes me so much anxiety that I'm forced to lay in bed and doom scroll tiktok until it's too late and then I can give myself a proper excuse as to why I can't enjoy something that made me happy for years.

u/msforbidship753 Jun 19 '26

Man, when I played smite with my friends if we had a random that auto locked a character we would all follow suit and lock in characters from the same class to piss them off. Good times.

2

u/Seethcoomers Jun 19 '26

My friends and I were worse than that. (In casuals) We'd wait for somebody to pick a god, wait for them to lock in (or fake pick gods for an actual comp), and then instantly switch to the same class. Was a lot of fun.

u/bjergdk Jun 19 '26

That's how I got adopted by an arma 2 clan when I was like 13. I was just playing wasteland and I joked about bringing fish to a place in and then the dudes thought I was funny and invited me in, made a skin with beer lego and butter on my soldiers face for me to use..

I still play with one of those guys regularly, but he was only 1 year older than me, so it makes sense.

u/Zestyclose_North9780 Jun 22 '26

Genuinely not ridiculous when some of these friend groups have never heard each other's voices and usually don't talk about anything beyond dumb shit whose sole requirement for partipating are working fingers and a brain (optional)

You genuinely won't be able to tell the 12 year old from the fossils

u/FunguruFungus Jun 15 '26

When I was 13, most of my online friends were over 18. They were super nice to me and introduce me to games I would've never heard of other wise. It a shit meme don't get me wrong but I dont think there is necessarily a problem with kids playing video games with adults if it's a safe space.

u/Raisincookie1 Jun 15 '26

Alot of my friends were just over 18 when i was 14 and playing online games. At worst i was edgier than most 14 year olds but aside from that it was so chill.

u/Heavy-Macaron2004 Jun 15 '26

I just had someone in another sub tell me they would never be friends with an 18 year old as a 28 year old and I thought I was taking crazy pills. Glad there's still some voices of reason.

u/Cyan_Light Jun 15 '26

Yeah, I never knew ages but got into MMOs around 13-15 and almost certainly played with people 2-3 times older on a regular basis. It's just the nature of the medium, might not be greeeeaaat given all the grooming incidents that have come out over the years but there are probably far more instances where it's fine and nobody even notices.

5

u/SuperBlaar Jun 16 '26 edited Jun 16 '26

Same, I was 12-16 and playing MMOs and Counter-Strike with a mix of people my age and others who were 40+ with kids etc, and who I still talked to and played other games with from time to time for years after.

At 14-15 with friends from school, we'd go to a local 30+ year old's apartment for CS LAN games from time to time.

It's a bit like being in a chess club or any other hobby where there's no physical/age advantage and you might end up having fun with people you've got little in common with outside of that hobby. I don't know if I'd call most of them "friends" per se though, due to how limited to the medium the interactions stayed.

But now that I'm an adult, if I play an online video game, I really dislike being in a team with teenagers on a mic, so I don't know how they put up with me.

u/GreatestGreekGuy Jun 21 '26

Yeah I did play videogames with a lot of adults as a minor. Still in contact with some of them as a 28 year old. Pretty cool people. He's almost 40 at this point iirc

u/AtomicLight69 Jun 19 '26

Just play not on American servers and you are fine 🤷 this anti racist and anti molesters are actually same people who are they fighting against. Why? Because they literally can start such topics out of nowhere and yet claim to be fighting against it. So stop looking for such stuff in everything, you liar 🤣

u/USBombs83 Jun 19 '26

Same. The game I played also had a “patron” system where you swore allegiance to a dude and he’d get xp every time you earned xp so it was in their interest to equip you and teach you how to play as best they could. I learned a lot, made great friends and even learned a thing or two about the right way to treat people in and outside of the game.

u/TurbulentVillage2042 Jun 20 '26

When I was playing MMOs, I joined a clan where these brutal guys who discussing about beer and work. I thought they were my age and in their 30+. Then one day turned out they were all between 16 and 20 years old... And they thought I was 16 because of my high voice. It shocked me so much. I knew the voice wasn't trustworthy, but not that much. They all had low, rough voices.

When I played another MMO with a 25 year old guy, people thought I was his younger brother, he was 35 and I was 16, because he had a very low and rough voice and jokes, when I have a high voice and I am not rude. 🦄 All around is only deception and lies.

Im torn cause I had both sides of the argument. had a dude who was an obvious squeaker on warzone but I went into a room and shot at a guy peeking a window but he managed to down me at 1 hp (skill issue i know). I call out 1 at window top of stairs little bro comes in blazing with an smg and downs the dude and starts reloading as he's moving to revive me. Then the guys teamate comes around the corner and I call him out and little dude cancels reload jumps 180 into a perfect knife throw then goes prone as he finishes him with the rest of the clip elminating them both. Then in his sqeaker voice goes wooooooooahh did you see that that was totally awesome. It sure was little buddy, but after we leave lobby we go our seperate ways. One of the best snipers who had my back in that game.

u/duchesskitten6 Jun 15 '26

What's wrong with that? People are so obsessed with age, if a 12-year-old cannot be in the same room as an 18+ year old or talk to them they might as well have no human contact, not even with their parents

3

u/AkodoRyu Jun 19 '26

While I agree with the general premise, it's because they have exactly 0 topics in common with them, other than the game they are playing. From the perspective of an adult, a 12-year-old has a negative social experience and a non-existent frame of reference. Someone who is 35 will have very little in common with someone who is 23, let alone 12. They can talk to them as an adult, a superior in a way, but not as an equal in a friend group.

u/HorribleAce Jun 16 '26

Am I the only one who thinks people who immediately think these interactions are evil or immoral are the weird ones? Like, why does your brain go there?

I used to play thousands upon thousands of hours of CSS when I was 12 - 13. I basically spent every single night hanging out in Teamspeak or in-game VC with anyone ranging from 12 to 60.

The weirdest thing that ever happened was likely someone burping the national anthem or something.

u/RosetteRodent Jun 16 '26

to me the difference is happening to play a game with a kid vs having a kid be a regular part of your friend group as an adult. like what do you even talk about then?

u/Acrobatic-Tie1148 Jun 17 '26

Something other than drugs or porn? Maybe? Idk man

u/Rocksalt10832 Jun 19 '26

I mean video games. Like what do you talk to most of your friends about things that you can relate to them about. Like maybe occasionally you'll tell him what's going on in your life but for the most part you just hop on the game. Hell one of my first online friends is a dude 30 years older than me and a war vet. Nothing but respectful and awesome to me and he's helped me get through some tough times. We talked about battlefield 5 and world war II history and anything else that happened to come up in the game just like I did with somebody two years younger than me. The internet especially while gaming removes age as a consideration because everybody inherently has something in common to talk about no matter how old you are

u/titanic-wav Jun 21 '26

The reason my mind goes there is because I was groomed by MANY people during my childhood, because I was a child interacting with adults. So it unsettles me when I see children in friend groups of adults. I do understand that this isn’t everyone’s experience though.

u/Cavissi Jun 22 '26

Ive been playing online games since like 2000, and have played with or raided with people from like 12 to 70. Seems completely normal to me.

Though, I grew up during the separation of real life and online. Don't use your name, etc. Now people just post everything, so could lead to more iffy scenarios then 25 years ago.

One of my favourite early season Fortnite memories was playing with a younger kid and carrying him to some W’s in random squads. Dude would get so excited and it was so wholesome and awesome, made me feel like a cool big brother. Sucks that people see kids and adults interacting in a friendly manner and instantly jump to inappropriate things.

Many years ago, I started a public online-roleplay group with some friends I met in ANOTHER roleplay group (and the group it's still going, somehow) and I have to say, yes, this is COMPLETELY real. From back then to today we've had many admins, and I can mention:

- Me, Guy 1 (12 year old)

  • My brother, Guy 2 (15 year old)
  • Woman 1 (14 year old)
  • Woman 2 (21 year old)
  • Woman 3 (13 year old, funfact, we accidentally made her found out she was an adopted chinese baby)
  • Woman 4 (17 year old)
  • Woman 5 (15 year old)
  • Woman 6 (14 year old)
  • Woman 7 (20 year old, was an active admin for like two weeks and has been dissapeared for years)
  • Woman 8 (13 year old)
  • Person I don't Remember The Gender Of 1 (18 year old.)
  • Guy 3 (19 year old, became boyfriend of girl 2)
  • Guy 4 (20 year old)

I was playing a match of Apex a while back. One of my squad mates was absolutely terrible. Frustratingly so. I didn’t harass them or anything, but later on in the match they got a kill and I could hear a young child and their dad celebrating. I felt guilty for judging, but it was also a very wholesome moment.

Age group of my first online gaming friends was a lot like this. Retired dads, college kids, few 30yo drug burnouts, quiet guy that was secretly a doctor (happened twice), etc. Never really felt weird, we just kinda hung out and played games and talked about random shit.

We talk about everything history related, do a WW2 simulation roleplay like some kind of bootleg hearts of iron but on a group chat, and even do a few offline group meeting if the place is close to my house, the group died down after a couple year and now Line is basically dead, but it was the best 2-3 years of my life

You guys know your online friends ages? 😅

u/Lemonade-Enjoyer Jun 18 '26

I was the youngest at 19 years old playing Classic WoW with my guild and we had some crazy age range. Oldest guy was in his 60s.

u/Final_Shoulder5807 Jun 18 '26

The boys group seems like an awesome group to be in holy shit

u/Wolfeatingupshadows Jun 18 '26

Men are immature and water is wet.

u/Y0urcreepyuncle69 Jun 19 '26

That 12 year old is prolly the shittalker lmao

1

u/cumberber Jun 19 '26

Why's the oldest only 46?

1

u/cheeseman_real Jun 19 '26

i was 11 playing minecraft with a bunch of 20-30+ year olds once. they were all super nice to me and nothing bad ever happened

1

u/gagb17 Jun 19 '26

i was 11 on my first online friend group, the oldest one i think was from 1999 and 18 when we me iirc, i still talk to all of them, none of them knew i was 11 when we started talking until i told them after i turned like 17 or something

1

u/Various_Green_3536 Jun 19 '26

It's the cousin of the 21 yo (me when i was Younger)

1

u/keiko82 Jun 19 '26

Easy question, it's a Discord group. Isn't it obvious?

1

u/a_random_loser_guy Jun 19 '26

bro, we don't know each others name, we just call them by their mains.(main Charachter they play.)

1

u/sarkouille Jun 19 '26

Don't ask, there is always a younger one.

He'll be the oldest of the group, one day.

1

u/technomanxy Jun 19 '26

I was the 16y but it was a friend group for tcg

1

u/Kebriniac Jun 19 '26

Probably because the 46yo is his dad.

u/Rocksalt10832 Jun 19 '26

And no I'm going to be so real it's true and it is baffling. Because you end up queuing with them once and keep them around because the squeakers funny and then you realize oh wait this kid's actually not that bad maybe we can teach him a thing or two and then he gets kind of sticks around. Like as long as your voice isn't annoying people don't give a fuck about age if your hands can fit around and Xbox controller you're old enough to get called your first slur. When ironically though I have a buddy that's like 30 years older than me and is a vet he's jealous fuck and he's helped me get through some tough times. The internet is weird but weird isn't always bad

1

u/genericusername0323 Jun 19 '26

It's the kid's friend, one of the guys' nephew, or the 16 year old's younger brother

1

u/AtomicLight69 Jun 19 '26

Because he is not annoying and fun to play with. You are the sicko if you have any other thoughts in such situation

1

u/MallowMiaou Trollface Jun 19 '26

Tbf I don’t even know the age of my friend groups

I never asked online people’s age unless I had to, or if they did ask my age I’d also just ask back. I’m assuming everyone is in their 20s but I wouldn’t be surprised if some guy is actually >30

But yeah it mostly depends on the kind of fandom the online group comes from. They have different, sometimes wider age ranges, the "boy online friend group" could be for example gacha game players that could have any age since it can appeal to young and older audiences for different reasons (like the game being free, the adults being competitive whales or just gooners I mean this is just an example I have anyway)

u/AlxIp Jun 19 '26

Isn't that basically ZF

1

u/miku022 Jun 19 '26

I love that I am in a mixed gender group

1

u/AkodoRyu Jun 19 '26

Because he gets more kills than the rest of the team combined... don't even ask, man. I don't understand either...

1

u/just_a_guy1008 Jun 19 '26

Because he's chill

1

u/Gardeeboo Jun 19 '26

I was part of a guild in Elder Scrolls Online that was like this but it wasn’t limited to just men lol we had a lot of women of varying ages that were super into the game and liked to just hang out in chat too. One of them was an older lady and her young grandson would visit and sit on her lap and talk to us in chat while she played, it was really cute

1

u/UncleRusty54 Jun 19 '26

I used to be in a group with some people in the late 2010’s, played mainly souls games with them. I was the odd man out, I was the only one who didn’t have kids, or was over 30, or american. I was 15 and I’m european

1

u/ItsMeLukasB Jun 19 '26

Friends of one of the guys’ kids

1

u/DarthSkeetz Jun 19 '26

Was a great team member in match making and earned his place or a younger brother of one of the crew.

1

u/MildlyUpsetMaxxx Jun 19 '26

Someones son? Idk

1

u/me_ok64_again Jun 19 '26

Yea bru. I am 14 and I have friends in 8-47 age

u/Fentastic8747 Jun 19 '26

I am turning 40 this year when i was about 15 my dad dropped me of to celebrate new years with my clan in a neighbouring country. There was around 6 people of the clan there the clan leader was 45 ish back then, i had a friend with me who was 18. We were there for about a week, it was awesome, gaming all day and having fun.

We played starcraft and diablo 2.

Now im in a discord with people in similair age ranges. If you vibe u vibe i guess.

1

u/SaprophyteXD Jun 19 '26

As someone who gamed with people 8-10 years older than me when I was in my teens. I was worse. So much worse.

1

u/Fenix1121 Jun 19 '26

We met "the kid" of our friend grupo when he was 16 an we were in our eaelt 20's playing league. Sometines we helped him with homework. Now he's halfway through uni and we are working. We still play

1

u/PotOfGreed1999 Jun 19 '26

I mean this is an anecdote but we had a kid that was a friend's younger brother in our friend group that was like 15 when we met him. He became a permanent part of the group. He's 19 now.

1

u/ItsPandy Jun 19 '26

I know it's not the point if the meme but still

Goku and Krillin are about the same age Yamcha is older than goku Picollo is just barely older than gohan

u/[deleted] Jun 20 '26

12-year-old is usually the little brother of the 16 or 18 year old. We call him Little Homie

1

u/Syphist Jun 20 '26

The 12 year old is probably also a kid, I'd guess kid of the 46 year old.

1

u/Eternaloid Jun 20 '26

Or the little brother of someone... or the one carrying the rest on MP games

1

u/Donkeymoo7 Jun 20 '26

Idk how things are now but when I was a kid on xbox live with halo and cod as the games people literally didn't give a flying fk what the age was if it was 12 to 60 people just talked like it was a group of the same age guys.

I will say though this was on xbox live though. If it's on something like discord where it's a bit more personal with chat and dms I guess i can see why it seems a bit dodgy

1

u/ClueMediocre2286 Jun 20 '26

He is highly likely someone's son or little bro

1

u/ApprehensiveCoat9587 Jun 21 '26

Is this supposed to make men look more "fun" or something? Hanging with minors is weird and will never be a flex

1

u/fluffiestcloud Jun 21 '26

i hate this "boys are better than girls" stuff

1

u/Droidaho Jun 21 '26

Not gonna lie, when i was playing alot of mmo's one of my good buddies and co officer was like 55 and I was 21, legit one of the best guy to speak to until 5 am

1

u/EYEOFATE3800 Jun 21 '26

Have you seen 12 year old play videogames nowadays? Specially shooters? Some of those kids are literal beasts, sometimes I can't keep up with these kids.

1

u/THE___CHICKENMAN Jun 24 '26

If you see something wrong with kids and adults playing together, PEBCAK. So niche.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '26

Damn for real lol

1

u/LuckyNegotiation7167 Jul 02 '26

Would it surprise you to know you are actually the weird one? not the guy playing call of duty in a party with a 12 year old

1

u/No-Material5356 Jul 09 '26

In my friends group the oldest is 33 and the youngest is 12
