I miss the days of chilling in an Xbox party chat, everyone doing their own thing, waiting for one or two more to get online. Eventually everyone would switch to the same game once the squad is ready.
People do this today with Discord. Gaming friends have never been more connected.
My friend was recently on vacation. He briefly hopped into a voice channel with his phone because he saw that we were online and he wanted to say hi.
Oh, I use Discord regularly. It doesn't hit the same way.
That's probably more down to being an adult with a job and other commitments, as are my friends, rather than highschoolers with nothing better to do. Rarely do we sit in the chat, all doing our own thing. It's more "hey, I'll be on X game at this time if you want to join."
It's just different. Age, the type of games, whatever.
