We’re both in our late 20s and are alone in new cities where we don’t know anyone. He and I have been apart for ages and drifted apart somewhat in that time, so I’m trying to find something that we can both do together despite being so far apart in distance.
Please don’t say video/computer games, neither of us have ever been into those, but we’re open to basically everything else haha

Since video games are out of the question.
Video Calls while playing board games or role playing games.
You can watch films together on Streaming services.
You can start a book club or an album club. Y’all read a book or listen to an album and then video call to talk about it.
You can do a video call run. You both run at the same time and stay on the phone. The plus side is one of you doesn’t need to stop if the other needs to stop. You can keep going.
Start a podcast. It doesn’t have to be a career choice. It can be a hobby.
Virtual chess or dominos.
These are just some things that popped into my head.
What did y’all do together before? [+]
Plan a 300 mile bike ride to a central location. Ride further and further until you can make it. Collaborate on training and equipment needs. Meet in the middle. Do the ride. Party when you get there.
Then enjoy your newfound love of adventure.
Buddy read (basically a two person book club) take turns picking the book and chatting about it. Books could be about specific hobbies/topics you reach enjoy, or random comedian memoirs.

Since no video games, drinking games tbh
Make booze (wine, beer, etc) at the same time and compare notes and lessons learned. Ship samples to each other.
Any interest, in general. Examples: Start an online business or a podcast, read the same book, learn a new skill (guitar, woodworking, body building, etc).
Whatever it is, make sure you two are both genuinely interested and can afford it.
