      Don't feel bad. Even when we can count up enough friends, even enough who dig the same game, it's a perpetual curse of never being able to get everyone available at the same time anyway lol, even if everyone met by playing a match at the same time by happenstance to begin with :P So you're not missing much, as this goes

      @@wookops2523 Agreed! Just a few weeks ago, I had someone at work tell me something (can't remember exactly, it was some emotion they were having or something). I repeated what they said back to them to demonstrate I understood and was listening before addressing what they said and they go "No, that's not what I'm saying". So I apologize, ask them to repeat it and they say the same thing. Again, I say "So it's (repeat exactly what they said), right?"
      They say "Never mind, you don't even want to listen to me" and I was left wondering if I just got in a UA-cam comments argument IRL 🤣

    I now have a primal urge to see Speedrun versus. The score tallies by each round's completion time instead of the traditional scoring, and two teams of speedrunners face off while also playing infected in a counter speedrun way. I think it would be so cool to see.

    I remember our friends and I figured out that going AFK by disconnecting the controller (we were playing on Xbox) was a pretty effective tactic for the hardest difficulties, since bots have perfect aim and they even have some degree of wallhacks that let them spot zombies that would not be visible to human players. We effectively had a lead player trying to run as fast as possible while three bots acted as the best cheerleaders we could afford.
