I'll be honest, have the complete opposite approach here. I moved around a lot, country to country even, back when I was a kid, and had no way of keeping up communication with anyone before. Now in highschool, I made friends though a club and met by now partner, and all of us have admitted we probably wouldn't have stayed in contact if it wasn't by us sharing a videogame server in which we stream on the weekends, which came in handy specially during the pandemic. We've all been friends for 5 years now.
