Question for y'all #SystemicGames¹ folks who like multiplayer/#coop games:
How do you logistically manage actually having a co-op, multiplayer playthrough of a complex video-game in your life?
I've always struggled, hard, with satisfying my needs here; not only is it so hard to find people who 1. like complex games, 2. like multiplayer/social gaming, and 3. have time/space/energy to repeatedly return to coop-complex-games … but even if you find such people, I've never been able to figure out a sustainable way to *actually make such a thing happen* consistently enough to progress/explore/build much of anything interesting!
Do y'all have a "complex games night?" A Discord server? Do you schedule, or is it drop-in? Do you play with a partner? Do you play with one friend, or ten?

Also, if you *do* know a good place to find such people (esp. queer, or afab, or kink-friendly …), uhhhh, gimmie. 🥺
