For some time now I've been planning on setting up a chill gaming community dedicated to asocials and introverts over 30, as well as one for the neurodiverse who may be looking for a less demanding environment. So I've made a survey for anyone interested to have an early influence: https://forms.gle/D6x2mZQddsDL1BzT6

New gaming group/community survey

This is a survey aimed at 30+ year olds who are looking for a new chill/low-pressure gaming group potentially dedicated for introverts, those with chronic illnesses, neurodivergents and loners who find their social circle vanished or vanishing. I'm hoping to make something for those "left behind" as such and those who want to find other fellow gamers or matches yet without demanding too much involvement, socialising or even loyalties. Thus, a low demand/stress environment but open and welcoming for those feeling isolated. It'll mainly be a forum-based community, though there most likely will be some chat services too (self-hosted or not) to supplement and aid in matchmaking. Nothing listed or suggested here can be guaranteed at this point, not even the establishment of such a group. However this is your opportunity to have a say in what's to come, at least to begin with. The name of the group/domain also hasn't yet been stated, as this would need to be kept secret to prevent domain squatting. Individual responses won't be published (if anything at all) and will mainly be just for my eyes for decision making.

I don't have a lot of friends in real life. All I got is some work friends, fam & that's it. But I like it like that. Being a loner can be a good thing. Quality over quantity when it comes to friends, always. ^www^ #friends #loners #qualityoverquantity #socialskills #socialbattery #introvert

"Let me tell you this: If you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it’s not because they enjoy solitude. It’s because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them."

—JODI PICOULT, MY SISTER’S KEEPER

It should’ve been enough for her to say that solo traveling isn’t her cup of tea, but then she had the gall to comment, “parang ang lungkot” (“it’s so sad”), and assume “grabe yung pinagdadaanan talaga siguro nila” (“they [solo travelers] must be going through some very tough times”). 😠

Why Loisa Andalio can't see herself traveling solo: "Parang ang lungkot"

Loisa on solo travellers: "Grabe yung pinagdadaanan talaga siguro nila."

Chuck Palahniuk Is Not Who You Think He Is

Twenty-six books in, the author has made a career of writing about loners, misfits, and deviants. But the man behind these controversial and transgressive fictions is full of surprises.
