Doug the type of guy to have a podcast with his friends after making it big.

i duo queue with my ex timdawg every couple months

we don't talk about it. it just happens.

6pm. both online. she sends the invite. or i do. neither of us acknowledges who sent it first.

the discord call is 90% silence. no "how have you been." no "seeing anyone?" just comms.

"flashing long."
"he's lit 50."

that's the whole conversation.

here's the thing though.

she knows when i'm going in before i comm it.

i know her flashes better than the last 6 geesters i've played with.

637 games of duo queue doesn't care relationship status.

we'll go 7-2 together. maybe 8-1 on a good night.

then it's "gg" and we're offline for another 2 months.

no follow up. no "we should do this more often."

because we both know what this is.

it's not friendship rekindling or even nostalgia.

it's that neither of us has found better synergy.

and that's the uncomfortable truth about duoing.

some people have exes they still ♥♥♥♥.

i have an ex i still duo with.

honestly not sure which is worse.

Doug the type of guy to assume something about the general public that only applies to a small portion of the population.

Way better than Stein at driving 🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒
