In the era where constant information and content is being pumped directly into our brains at all waking moments of the day we lose a sort of connection with reality and people around us. Being entertained is much easier and being bored is almost an impossibility with constant stream of shit being fueled to all of us. However in the era of IRCS and slow connections we find a way to connect to others in ways so familiar to us. The text chat is a simple yet effective form of communicating ideas , we can show emotion in various ways and express our thoughts. This is where these hangout games come in. Roblox , team fortress , blockland , counter strike ETC all serve the same purpose , they're a way of bridging a connection between two people on the internet. This connection is bridged by the interactions and setting we play the game in , but is oftentimes independent of how the game or interaction is progressing.
Picture yourself late at night in a community team fortress server with only about 3 people playing . 1 player is an AFK items bot , leaving the 2 of you to your own whims. of course you can't actually play the game in the given conditions but you still stay in the server for whatever reason. You don't have any real reason to stay other than having the time to do so , and the fact you have someone to talk to about anything. Maybe you'll talk about the state of the world , maybe you'll talk about your lives , maybe even random shit that interests you two. You friend them , but life takes in the way and you two eventually split apart. One of you will have the permanent "offline" status on their profile.
