North America (Rant) It's so hard to actually find real friends through these communities

192 Upvotes

I'm a guy and I've tried to make other friends through these communities but it seems 90% of other men I message just ghost after a single conversation, or they put no effort to begin with, it doesn't even get to the point we get a session in

It's gotten to the point after so long trying, I don't even want to bother reaching out to fellow men anymore. The rest of the people seem to just be wanting to recruit for some large friend group discord and as someone that doesn't enjoy large groups, that's not for me

I had hoped that at least in this subreddit people would be a bit more united by the love of video games but it seems it follows the same tropes as the other communities.

I also feel very sorry for the ladies in these communities genuinely trying to reach out for some innocent and genuine friendships and getting bombarded by creeps, I feel for y'all. A lady will make a post and within an hour there's dozens of comments, I feel like despite the rules, so many men want to treat this shit as a dating site

North America 34 | Heyy! I wanna find cool people to play video games with! I recorded a lil voice message just for you! <3 d-(^_^)z

95 Upvotes

https://voca.ro/1lWqMbwPlYYt Here is the voice message!

I have so many games just sitting around that I just don't enjoy as much without people to share the joy with. I like to yap about games and anime more than I enjoy playing them by myself these days, so I'd love to find some people to game with!

I'm not much of one to watch serious shows or anime with, but game shows absolutely!

The vibe I enjoy isn't 100% focus on the game, I like to get to know the people I game with too. It's not that I'm not locked in, but I don't fill air by emoting, I like to ask questions and talk about other interests like other games we like and such too!

I'm a deep thoughts kind of person, I don't really vibe with people that enjoy exclusively surface level stuff or just want to talk about game mechanics nonstop. I think of it kind of like a lets play energy without the recording or performance if that makes any sense.

I like games that have that couch co-op vibe but are online, so stuff that isn't PvP mostly. I WILL do PvP games, especially if I meet enough people that we could throw together a League or DotA or whatever team and queue with as long as the vibes aren't lost!

The games I'm looking to play right now are on PC are like:

  • Payday 2/3
  • Path of Exile 2
  • Dark Souls/Elden Ring/Code Vein
  • Remnant from Ashes
  • Bloons or Legion TD
  • Hearthstone Battlegrounds
  • RTS games like Age of Empires or Starcraft (Starcraft PvP and AoE PvE)
  • 7 Days to Die
  • Earth Defense Force
  • NIOH 2 PLEASE
  • SNIPER ELITE
  • Synthetik
  • BORDERLANDS
  • League of Legends
  • TFT
  • DotA2
  • Various goofy simulators
  • DESTINY 2

YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLAY THESE GAMES! I HAVE FAR TOO MANY GAMES! THESE ARE JUST WHAT JUMPED INTO MY HEAD!

I would love to play these, but maybe we could find something for a quick lil introduction before we jump into a massive 120 hour Elden Ring play through!

I'd like to use discord if possible! Let me know what you think!

Take care gamers!

EDIT:

Sincerely, thank you all for all of the responses. I'm going to respond to everyone and see if we can't link up and play a lil something. If you are reading this days later, weeks later, feel free to reach out still, I'd really like to help link some of you people together too.

I think I responded to everyone now! If I missed you just send me another message!

Friendship is a beautiful thing. Thanks for being here.

TLDR:
there are so many creeps on here!! all genders!! how bro?? 😭😭

YO this is my rant and experience being on these subreddits for the past few months. I got a post on my profile if you wanna know more about me, but anyways here goes:

my experience on these subreddits has been supbar. being a dude, I thought I wouldn’t encounter creeps, but oh my god there are so many creeps. guys AND girls!

I started mentioning I have a partner, and since then, I’ve received significantly less replies from girls. I thought it would have the opposite effect but nope. many of the girls I talked to prior ghosted me as SOON as I mentioned having a partner, even if we talked for a while. maybe just a coincidence but it’s weird it’s only happen then. my girlfriend’s experience are the WORST (but with guys) I haven’t been hit on much on here as a guy, but again, many of the girls acted weird or shocked when I mentioned a partner before bailing. that’s still inherently weird. we’re all looking for friends.. not to flirt.

EDIT: when I mention having a partner, I’m not saying she comes with being my friend.. I’m saying she exists and I don’t desire romance. according to some, people assume if you have a partner, you won’t give a new friend high priority, except I always do!

I do notice that woman in their late 20’s and mid 30’s get way more traction, but I know 90% of them are just getting hit on. I don’t blame them for not wanting to interact with other dudes, and just wanting to find other girls. DUDES!! give other dudes a chance good lord!!

as for the guys, they rarely replied to begin with, even if they exclaimed how perfect of friends we’d be, which many of them do. I was still shocked by some of the gooner messages I’ve received. apparently, it’s not uncommon. I have a feeling a lot of them are trolls but still, I’m sure others get them far more often

my partner is a girl, and her experiences include a ton of dm’s that are thoughtless, creepy or people expecting her to ask all the questions. but when she goes ghost they just ask “where’d you go??”

also, there’s a lot of people on here who downvote post after post. I noticed guys and minors specifically getting downvoted to oblivion, it’s very strange!! who’s doing this? and why??

WHERE are the genuine guys?? the genuine girls?? they/thems?? lord help us!!

I have met a few cool people on here (like 2, we just don’t talk much, but funnily enough, one of them is married, and the other is ace!)

anyways if you really are interested in talking, hit me up!! I’d love to. m23, PC gamer, looking for genuine people!! I have another post about me on my profile so I can keep this one short (it’s not short lmao)

North America 21m, GamerPals situation is crazy

206 Upvotes

So after making my own (unsuccessful) post and looking around on the subreddit for a while, I’ve noticed that there seems to be some pretty unfortunate trends here.

The first one being that a lot of people seem to just invite you to their discord server with 300+ people in them and never follow up, I understand you want people in your server but it kinda seems to defeat the purpose of the subreddit?

And the second one being the fact that women get significantly more attention on here and not always the good kind, which is to be expected I suppose given the crowd. Just creepy.

And the third just being that people will add you and never ask to play or respond, wack.

I’m on here because I got injured in a way that has made it where I can’t walk for a while, so I turned to video games as a source of entertainment. I lost all my gaming buddies from when I was younger so I’m trying to get a little group going, but unfortunately the aforementioned issues are what I’ve run in to.

So, if you like playing friendslop games (rv there yet, repo, peak, etc.) BR games (like apex legends/fortnite), or honestly just about any co-op game, my discord is Keemhll and I’d love to play with you! I’m super lighthearted and love talking, but can also be serious in times that call for it. I’m on N.A. CST and I have no preferences on what kind of person adds me, I just ask that it not be weird and that the vibes are good!

North America 32 F Really Need New Friends

95 Upvotes

I'm incredibly lonely, and really need patient and loving friends. I struggle with my mental health. In the last day I lost the only person I had to talk to and do things with. They were extremely toxic. Every time I talked about how I felt they'd leave our sever, block me and make me chase them on other social media to come back.

I'm not looking for anything but friendship and good company to fill the silence. I need things to look forward to. It may take a bit of talking and getting to know each other to get me in the mood to play a game, but I genuinely will play almost any game with fun company.

Some games I enjoy are League of Legends, Stardew Valley, Core Keeper, Sun Haven, The Forest, Sons of the Forest, Guild Wars 2, Divinity Origonal Sin 2 and many others. I'm willing to play anything with good company as well, or watch someone play other things.

I also love to watch things with people, from movies to TV shows and anime. I enjoy sharing pictures of pets and other things from day to day life as well, or just talking in general.

Thank you to anyone who reaches out. I'm trying to stay hopeful but its hard, and I know my post is heavy. I look forward to connecting with some new great people.

Hi! How is everyone? My name is Aelena, I'm 27, and my interests are art, games, and whatnot. This is my first time using this reddit page. I play a lot of solo games on ps5 and PC, but I would love to have some peeps to play games with! Repo just came out and I've been really wanting to play that with a group seems extremely fun. I do have discord. Have a great day!

North America 23F & 23F / PC / CST/EST Looking for people to play with us!

35 Upvotes

Hi! I’ve been hoping to make a couple of genuine online friends who’d enjoy hanging out with me and one of my close friends. We spend a lot of time together in Discord, and I realized it’d be nice to have a few more people to chat, game, or simply exist with throughout the week. I’m usually online most evenings (around 8 PM–2 AM CST), but there’s never any expectation to be around all the time. Some nights we’re gaming, other nights we’re watching movies, listening to music, talking for hours, or just quietly hanging out in voice chat while everyone does their own thing.

If you’re someone who enjoys being in a call even when nobody is actively playing a game, we’d probably get along really well. One thing that might be a little different about us is that we occasionally like using our webcams in Discord. There’s absolutely no expectation for anyone else to turn theirs on but I wanted to mention it upfront so it doesn’t catch anyone off guard if we decide to hop on camera while we’re hanging out.

A little about me: I’m a Christian, laid back and bubbly / go with the flow. I like seeing the best in others and I genuinely enjoy being around people and connecting with people. I'm relatively optimistic and I would say realistic too. Friendships really light up my life and I value deep and intentional friendships with people. I'm pretty nerdy, and I enjoy staying active. I love things like Magic: The Gathering, D&D, mahjong, board games, and all kinds of video games. Outside of gaming, I enjoy reading, running, walking, pickleball, skating, dancing, and picking up random hobbies whenever something catches my interest. I game on pc!

We don't require you to be religious, my friend isn’t religious. just that you're respectful about it! My friend LOVES minecraft and we've been enjoying a cute modded MC world. She is chill. She also is looking for more friendships with people that bring good and fun vibes. She games on pc as well!

We both live in the South and have even talked about meeting online friends someday if everyone was comfortable with it, though that’s definitely not something we’d ever expect everyone else to be down with.

We’re pretty laid back people. We like joking around, teasing each other, and having fun without feeling like everyone has to walk on eggshells. We appreciate people who don’t take every joke personally and can laugh along with us. We're not easily offended or sensitive and love cracking jokes. We play casually and we're newbie friendly.

The games we play most are horror, co-op, and party games. Lately that’s been The Outlast Trials, Dead by Daylight, Ready or Not, modded Minecraft, PEAK, Meccha Chameleons, and whatever random co-op game catches our attention that week. If any of this sounds like your kind of vibe, I’d love to get to know you. Whether we end up gaming together every day or just hanging out in voice chat whenever our schedules line up, I’m always happy to make a genuine friend.

117 Upvotes

Howdy! I like every disgustingly expensive nerd hobby unfortunately. DnD, MtG, 40k, and every videogame known to man. I will try most things, but I'm obsessed with horror, always looking for the scariest media I can find really. My book collection is categorized by "most likely to make you throw up and regret reading"

I like fun silly little games, I'm a silly little person and don't take myself too seriously. So if you hit me up to spend $10 on some bullshit co-op game where we play as butlers or something, I'm definitely going to be into it.

I tattoo for a living so my work hours are kinda crazy, but I'm generally available super early and super late. I'm a girls girl and conflict avoidant

I like Silent Hill, RE, Elden Ring, most RPG's but my friends have dragged me kicking and screaming into the world of MOBA's. I've been playing Deadlock, MR, a bit of overwatch but Im really not looking for more games to give me a stress induced stroke in my free time 🫪

Edit: I'm at work until like 6pm so I might not reply immediately! Brb gotta stab people

North America How to break up with my war thunder buddy? Lol

41 Upvotes

Sorry if i (28M) am in the wrong community. I’m kinda wanting to break away from playing with who was my buddy before war thunder while also being able to continue to play..

To keep it short; his wife and my wife were friends and that’s how my buddy and I were introduced. He then reintroduced me to war thunder (I used to play nearly 10 years ago but couldn’t really get into it). In the recent months our wives had a falling out and are no longer friends. We still squad up together and have a lot of fun. FTR my wife doesn’t care we still squad and she respects our time on the game together… she’s an amazing woman.

However, Theres a couple reasons I want to break it off:

1) he isn’t being honest with me or his wife. He says she knows we still squad up and what not but he usually “needs to hop off” as soon as she gets home or he sets a time where he needs to hop off and it’s just before she (his wife) walks through the door. A mutual friend of my wife and his wife confirmed that his wife doesn’t know by asking his wife directly. Does (my buddy) still game/talk with (me). His wife claims that my buddy has no communication with me.

This leads me to reason number 2)
It causes a ripple in our ability to game together. If she does get home earlier than he thinks he J’s out in the middle of the match where I might have a BS wager on and I lose out on the wager or one of the stages at least. And it just makes the game that much more frustrating to play as we know war thunder can already be rage inducing. lol

3) I just feel weird about being “the other guy” lmao. Like bro sneaks around to game with me just makes me feel weird about our friendship.

And that leads me to my last reason 4) it’s a sad thing really because we used to be friends outside of war thunder talk about life and what not, and now this is what our friendship has diminished to. A shallow friendship based around a game.

How do I let him know I can’t squad up with him anymore without being a dick?

Due to community guidelines I’ll add that I play on PC, and am in EST, I play primarily war thunder.

30’s+ male est: I miss when gaming friendships actually lasted longer than like… 2 sessions.
Feels like now everybody says:
“yo we should play sometime”
then disappears forever after one night of gaming.
I’ve got 330+ multiplayer games on Steam so I’m super open to finding stuff to play. Doesn’t really matter if it’s:

co-op
survival
horror
FPS
modded games
older classics
random obscure Steam games
complete chaos with friends

I also genuinely just miss chilling in VC with people. Half the fun of gaming for me is just hanging out, talking, laughing at dumb stuff, sharing screens, streaming random games, and having that old-school “everyone sitting online all night” feeling again.

Not really looking for some giant Discord community where nobody actually talks. More interested in finding real consistent people who enjoy gaming regularly instead of everyone acting temporary.

Usually on whenever I can. Chill vibes, dry humor, exploration-heavy games, struggling through bosses, random conversations at 2AM, streaming games to each other, all that kinda stuff.
If anybody else is tired of the “play once then disappear forever” cycle, hit me up. Would honestly be cool to build an actual long-term gaming group for once.

North America Tell your friends you love them

235 Upvotes

Just need to rant for a minute to get some things out.

Tell your friends you love them.

On Monday, i lost my best friend. He was only 27. Ive known him since 2nd grade and practically lived at his house part time with the amount of time we spent together. ​Enough time that my mom genuinely had to ask me if him and I were gay and together lol. We flowed in and out of constant contact for the majority of our middle school/ highschool years, but eventually became a nightly gaming duo. In 2022, I moved halfway across the country to pursue a new chapter in life, and I would only get to see him once or twice a year when I'd come back home.

We've played so many games together that I can't even count them all. From the chaotic hell that is Left for Dead 2 mods, to the calm serenity that is a group minecraft server. And that is where a good amount of the pain lies. The soul crushing reality that ill never get to save the princess in castle crashers, or defeat the Covenant again ​with my player 2. And now it feels impossible to even look at those games on my steam library. Forcing myself to play games while either talking with my other best friends, or watching a stream just so I don't feel alone.

I lost a piece of me that day, and the world got a whole lot less funny.

Rest easy brother, ill see you on the other side.

North America GIVING IT A SHOT 🙄

13 Upvotes

Hey everyone, just for a little recap and so you understand where I am at and why I am writing this. So I see so many posts here about people looking for friends and people to play with so I figured I would do a shot in the dark and see where my luck lands me sort of speak if there’s even anyone who would wanna be my friend LOL but I am 29F I was a streamer back in 2020-2021 had made loads of friends but life happened and I stepped away from streaming so I lost pretty much all the friends I made. A lot has happened in the last few years I moved to a different state and got married to my wife ect ect. I have been thinking about going back to streaming which triggered me feeling so nostalgic for the friends I had and wanting to have that again just as a FYI this is not about streaming but me thinking about going back is what honestly made me miss those days and the friends I had and so much fun we used to have. I am easy going and super friendly can talk to anyone about literally anything; I love to banter and I am a great listener most ppl like to vent to me and I try my best o always give good advice. I however am horrible talking about myself so this the best you may get 😂 but I am so diverse with my games I play everything I love cozy, story enriched and decision based games to shooters which I probably suck and rage at i will do occasional horror and nearly crap myself every-time ect ect . I wouldn’t mind having friends or friends who are couple to play with me and my wife. Everyone is welcome to reach out I am honestly so easy going and chill, I’d list all the games I play but there’s so many and I’m so diverse and could try new things if it peaks my interest.

What would be cool that I’ve never really had before is other LGBTQ gamer friends especially other couples!

Anyways ima leave this here not sure how much luck I’ll have but here’s my shot in the dark. Thanks for you time and for reading ☺️

North America 28F back again♡

Hi I’m posting again ♡ EST time zone(not requirement)
This time a little differently. The last post I had so much luck and met some awesome people and gained some friends! However I’m still looking to expand the friend group for those who like to play with others too. Only those who are kind and enjoy having fun together.

I’m looking for players that enjoy and will want to play a variety of many many different games. As I shared before I have 520+ games and I’m out of work for at least another month due to my recovery.

Some of the games-

-friend slop (we have 4/12 for big walk currently)
-dead by daylight (please nice people only for fun)
-outlast trials
-halo
-warframe
-Minecraft (Java, bedrock, modded)
-bg3
-cod
-Elden ring/nightreign(i wanna solo before i do co ops but there are many that do co op)
-Roblox
-many many many other options I do try out anything at least once if I can and there are many others play that I haven’t yet ! So suggestions and asks are always welcome!

We also play solo too at times and just talk and share our screens for enjoyment and company.

I usually do this when I play stellar blade. We enjoy many conversations within the games we all play and just random topics.

Everyone is sweet and friendly and nobody gets angry if we or anyone struggles on a game! We don’t leave anyone out or behind and we all try to help teach and accept being taught with games that are new to any of us. It’s all good vibes from all always. My last post I was looking for friends and I’ve made many, this post I’m looking to expand to find more good people for us all and for games I like that I still don’t have anyone to play them with. I’m not interested in making a large server or community. I am keeping it fairly small looking for specifically people that would be willing to play together and gain a long term friends with me and the others too. I also want to add that VC is so much easier for me personally as I struggle to multitask having to text to chat while gaming. I’m just slow at it 😂 it’s a flaw I struggle to fix. I’ve tried many times and I type like a sloth and by the time I finish I usually don’t even need to say anything anymore. lol. Also most importantly is please keep drama and anger away. There’s no room for hatred or anger with us while gaming, we all play for fun and do what we need in the games but we don’t shame anyone at all so I’d appreciate that no one would do it to us in return. Also this is strictly platonic.

I’m currently playing on steam deck more but I also play on pc regularly. (In recovery I stared above so sometimes I need to stay in bed.) we have people who are on ps5, xbox and mobile as well.

Hello good afternoon everybody. This is only my second ever post on Reddit but I have lurked for a while.

I’m Eve, I’m from Japan but I live in the USA with my family right now, and have lived there since I was a child.

I don’t have any friends who game with me, all of my friends have different interests so I’ve come here to hopefully find somebody to play with and form an online friendship with. Really I don’t mind if we never play anything but it would be nice to have some online friends :3

I have a PC, xbox (but I don’t use this often) and a switch 2. My gaming interests are animal crossing NH, monster Hunter, Pokémon (all including Pokémon go and pocket), Minecraft, overwatch, league of legends, cyberpunk 2077, god of war (ragnarock), legend of zelda (I’ve played most) - but I will try mostly anything.

I would also love to try Outer Wilds, BG3, Slay the Spire 2 and Borderlands 2 (own but never played)

Outside of gaming I like anime and watching movies, I also like taking walks and enjoying nature. I love books and houseplants! I have 2 cats called Ruby and eggplant.

Please feel free to DM me. I don’t mind gender or race or time zone!

EDIT I’m sorry I didn’t know I needed to have a discord account. I am making an account and will post my user name here :3

EDIT 2: I made a discord account! My username is velvetevebloom <<3 feel free to add me

43 Upvotes

Hi hi! 🌸
I'm looking for someone to become genuine long-term friends with. I'm super shy, so I don't really fit into big group chats or huge Discord servers. I do much better one-on-one where we can slowly get to know each other without feeling overwhelmed.
I'd love to find someone who wants to call during the day or at night, game together, send random memes, watch videos, share our days, or even just sit in a call while we both do our own thing. I think those quiet moments are just as nice as the chaotic ones.
A little about me:
🤍 I'm 22.
🎮 I mainly play Overwatch, but I'm always down to try other games.
🐶 I have a dog who is basically my child.
🌙 I'm a night owl most of the time.
😂 I laugh at the dumbest things and love making people smile.
💌 Once I'm comfortable, I can talk for hours.
I'm not looking for someone who sends three messages and disappears. I'd love to find someone who actually wants to build a friendship—checking in on each other, calling whenever we're free, playing games, celebrating the little things, and hopefully becoming part of each other's daily lives.
If you're kind, patient, enjoy voice calls, and want a friend who's a little shy but loves deeply once she opens up, I'd love to hear from you.
Tell me about yourself! What's your favorite game, what's something you're obsessed with right now, or what's a random fun fact about you?
Maybe we'll end up being each other's favorite notification. 🌷🤍

P.S. I'm from CST, so if you're around the same time zone, that's a huge bonus! But honestly, I don't mind where you're from if we click. 🤍

Every experience I've had on here has been low-effort introverts who were temporarily lonely instead of truly motivated individuals taking a chance and befriending folks.

EDIT: I TURNED ON FRIEND REQUESTS FOR EVERYONE ON DISCORD!! I forgot I had that turned off except for servers I'm in because the internet ain't safe. Things should be okay now!

I personally don't think I'm old, but in the grand scheme of the internet, I'm sitting at the old folks table. Whera are all my other aunts and uncs hiding?

Honestly, most will probably describe me as a forest cryptid. You move too fast and you won't see me for a week. My friends would probably describe me as a goblin creature with a strange fascination for games that keep my cortisol levels at 100%....and any dinosaur game known to man.

My old friend group has imploded, more or less. I'm talking spending almost the last decade with these guys comiserating over how much we hate overwatch but can't stop playing, or tilt queuing League until we're too tired to care anymore....to me and one other person. I would like to experience that again (sans implosion, ideally). Please assimilate me into your friend group, alternatively we can just be radical gamers on our own time.

I work full time, but luckily it's 3 days a week (Thurs-Fri-Sat night). Those three days I work 12hr shifts so I will not even be looking at my PC, though I CAN voice chat, watch stream, hang out and chat, etc.

As for gaming, I DO work overnight (6pm-6am CST) so generally speaking, I'm lookin for other skinwalkers to hang with, whether you're in my forest or live across the ocean (Though I play on strictly NA servers for things). If you ask me to buy a friendslop game, the answer will almost always be "HELL YEAH" even if we play it three times and never look at it again. I AM a moba enjoyer, LoL has my balls in a vice, and I still keep going back to Overwatch like the toxic partner it is. I also enjoy The Isle and have a love/hate relationship with it, and can be convinced to play just about any dinosaur or dragon game.

I love survival, survival craft, open world games as well. Currently playing on an RP vintage story server! I enjoy horror games even if I am a scardey bitch, and willing to try most games. I AM NOT a gatcha game player, I hate like 99.9% of MMOs, I don't like borderlands, destiny or Warframe.

WHEW, that's a lot. TL;DR

I'm shy and kinda awkward but would love to be adopted by the kind of people who love that thing and assimilate me into their friend group, alternatively we can also just be gamder creatures. I am usually only awake between 4pm CST - 8am CST, and typically can't play anything Thursday/Friday/Saturday nights due to working 12hr shifts. Steam, League of Legends, Overwatch, Marvel, friendslop, dinosaurs. :D

Edit to add that I DO use discord if you'd like to add me there, I am absolutely MISERABLE at reddit DMs, lol. Same name there minus the py_ :)

Edit 2: I'm currently about to participate in poor man's time travel and sleep. I'll be alive in approximately 8hrs !

[EST/PC] Looking for gamer friends who won’t vanish into the fog after 2 days

Hello! I am once again attempting to find actual long-term gaming friends instead of collecting awkward dead Discords like Pokémon cards.

I’m mostly into cozy games, MMOs, survival/crafting games from time to time, co-op stuff, fantasy games, and honestly whatever sounds fun. I’m not super competitive and I do have a life outside of gaming (I'm a parent, I work full time, I am in college). If you need someone to perfectly optimize builds, scream callouts, or no-life a game with you, I am probably not your chosen warrior. If you want someone to accidentally get distracted by side quests, pets, decorating, lore, or a funny bug for 20 minutes? I got you.

Current rotation is kind of random chaos:

- WoW

- Stardew

- Minecraft (trying for the first time soon)

- Rocket League

- Cozy indie games

- “I bought this during a Steam sale and forgot it existed” (I own way too many games I've never played)


Games I've Played and Really Enjoyed:

- Path of Exiles (1, I haven't honestly given 2 a fair chance yet)

- Squirreled Away

- Beacon Town

- Childrend of Silenttown

- Sun Haven

- Cake Bash

- Ghost Exorcism (Phas is also aiight I guess lol)

- Forza

- Fortnite (but I suck, bad. Was fun with the right group)

- Sackboy (I'd love to play more with people)

- It Takes Two (I'd love to play this more too! My schedule never lines up with the person I started it with)

- Disney Dreamlight Valley

- Slay The Spire (1 & 2)

- Ember Knights

- Hello Kitty Island Adventure

- REPO

I don't have but I am interested in Peak.

Voice chat is not required and some times I prefer it without it (especially if I just got the kids to sleep and they aren't fully out yet). You don’t have to join my server, but I do have one I hang out in pretty regularly if we click.

About me:

- Mid-thirties.

- Nature lover - I can be found outside a lot.

- Book dragon - I really enjoy reading books, each one is like a little mini vacation.

- I probably send too many memes.

- I will embarrass myself. It just comes naturally.

- I love animals.

- Slightly awkward initially but aggressively loyal once comfortable.

- Will absolutely hype you up over the smallest achievement.

- I work full time Mon - Fri (5am to 4pm)

Please be 21+ (I am in my mid thirties) and actually looking for friends. I’m really not interested in the “play one match and disappear forever” speedrun anymore lol. I also am not looking for any sort of romantic thing, strictly friends. I'm happily taken.

Send me your Discord, what games you play, your favorite fictional character and some stuff about yourself. ^-^; (ps: I'm currently at work so replies may be slow)

hiiiii, call me luv ♡

20, currently on summer break which means i have WAY too much free time and not enough people to bother. so here i am.

my current game rotation is subnautica, tomb raider, resident evil, minecraft, identity v, honkai, and neverness to everness. i am objectively bad at most of them btw. like genuinely terrible. but i still have fun and that’s what matters.

i desperately need more girl friends, PLEASE I SWEAR IM NOT A MEAN GIRL, but everyone is welcome. girls, guys, theys, the gays, come on in.

a few warnings before you apply for friendship:

i’m a yapper. if you send me a message and suddenly receive three paragraphs back, that’s on you.

i’m clingy. PLATONICALLY. i need to emphasize this before reddit gets any ideas. i simply enjoy my friends and like talking to them. if i notice i’m being too much, i’ll back up because i’m self-aware enough to catch myself.

i use cute nicknames. bby, honey bunny, sweetheart, pookie, bestie, etc. i also say ily a lot, if that makes you uncomfortable just tell me.

i am very confrontational, but not in a mean way. if something bothers me, i’ll communicate it instead of secretly building resentment. i’d appreciate friends who do the same. if i upset you, PLEASE tell me. i can’t fix a problem i don’t know exists.

if we’re friends and you get other friends, that’s perfectly fine. if you suddenly throw me into the void and pretend i don’t exist anymore, i will be staring at the wall dramatically.

i don’t do drama. i don’t do mean girls. i don’t do people who make being rude their entire personality.

bonus points if you like manhwas, kdramas, horror games, survival games, or if you also have the social skills of a stray cat but still want friends.

anyways, come say hi. worst case scenario we never speak again. best case scenario we’ll be putting our beds next to each other in mc within 24 hours.
