I'm a father first so I don't have tons of time to play games, I get about 2 hours a night to do what I want to do so it's hard to find people consistently to play with. The kind of games I like are competitive shooters but getting stuck with randoms really lower the chance of doing well.
I'm in my 30s at this point so I'd like to play with people around my age. That being said I've played with younger people in the past and as long as they are chill then I get along fine with them.
