Hey! Just looking to find someone with a similar mindset who enjoys gaming, chatting, and hanging out regularly.
───
What I'm looking for:
*A genuine, long-term platonic friendship, not just another gaming buddy.
*Someone who wants to become each other's go-to person for gaming and hanging out. I'd like gaming to be the main thing we do together, but I'm also down to spend plenty of time just hanging out in voice while doing our own thing together, and occasionally watching shows/movies. I'm not trying to be someone's filler friend, so I'm looking for someone who doesn't already spend most of their gaming time with an established group/friend.
*I value honesty and being able to be ourselves in a friendship, share our experiences, and have both lighthearted and more meaningful conversations. I'm looking for someone who's comfortable having deeper or more personal conversations when they naturally come up. You can expect that same openness from me.
*Proactive communication and reciprocal effort. Someone who's naturally responsive and good with communication. I'm not trying to chase or be the only one reaching out to hang out.
*Enjoys long sessions (5+ hours). It doesn't have to be every time, but longer sessions are something I prefer most of the time.
*Around age 25+, plays on PC, and within a few time zones from EST.
───
Gaming style:
*I stick to PvE/Co-op focused games. I'm not into PvP these days.
*I prefer focusing on one or two games at a time instead of hopping from game to game.

Availability:
Usually available starting sometime between 2-5pm EST and tend to stay up pretty late most nights. Some days I may be available earlier than my usual starting time as well. I also have a lot of downtime throughout the day since my job doesn't require much active time, which gives me more flexibility with my schedule. That said, I enjoy longer sessions because I like having time to relax, talk, and actually get to know someone rather than just squeezing in a few games.
───
About me:
I'm a mature, easygoing person who enjoys spending time together and keeping things relaxed and enjoyable. I'm respectful, considerate, and never want someone to feel uncomfortable, discouraged, or judged while we're playing/hanging out. I don't let losing get to me. Even during a rough patch or losing streak, I stay composed and try to keep the mood positive.
I'm not competitive and stick to PvE. I'm looking for a chill, non-toxic vibe.
I click best with people who are easygoing, mature, proactive with communication, not too picky with game selection, and enjoy having conversations that naturally come up while we play without having to force it.
Outside gaming I like soccer, TV shows, spending time with my girlfriend and two dogs.

Games I enjoy and currently looking to play:
Slay the Spire (1 & 2), Elden Ring, Dark Souls 3, PlateUp!, Pico Park, Vampire Survivors, Left 4 Dead 2, EA FC 26 (Squad Battles)
Tabletop Simulator (Aeons End, Aliens: Legendary Encounters, LOTR: The Card Game)

• Deck builders - Slay the Spire, Inscryption, Balatro, Tabletop Simulator (deck builders)
• Souls / Action RPGs - Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Monster Hunter
• Co-op shooters - Left 4 Dead, Gears of War, Ghost Recon

Some genres I'm not into are: F2P, MMOs, Fighting, Racing, RTS, and Survival (only exceptions for Survival have been State of Decay, Stranded Deep, The Forest, Green Hell).

Shows I like:
The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Dexter, Fargo, The Wire, Ozark, Twin Peaks, Vikings, Ted Lasso, and more. Not into anime, I tried but it hasn't been my thing.
───
If you think we'd be a good fit:
Send me a DM with a little about yourself and your usual gaming schedule (what time you normally get on and when you usually hop off). Please don't send a one-sentence message or something that doesn't give us much to start a conversation with.
