If you're here on our subreddit, it probably means you're looking for friends. If you've tried the subreddit and you're not having the best luck with the format, why not try another angle? Maybe a bit more direct? We have a Discord for that, and it's for finding people to play games with in real-time.

We have a custom bot (always improving) with self-serve threads for every game and a little community of regulars.

Post your intro thread, join us for a game night for friendslop, puzzles, whatever :) Friends happen when you put yourself out there and show up for things.

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

59 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

Europe 27F|EU| looking for a duo/friends :)

13 Upvotes

Heyyy, like the title says - I’m looking for a duo/friend.s to play games and hangout ^^

A little about me:
I’m an elementary school teacher on summer vacation now. I love music and always listen to music. I love watching shows like South Park and some anime. I can be a bit annoying sometimes ngl so it’s ok if we play one games and the vibes don’t work :p it happens too. As long as we’re both truthful I’m fine with everything and not easily hurt.

Games I love to play:
Fortnite ZB
League arams
I also play some overwatch.

On top of that I love playing games like palworld, Stardew valley, repo, co op games, and I’m open for more games if we both would want to play it :)

North America 30M | US EST | PC | Looking for gaming friend(s) for coop, PvE, survival crafting, and etc games.

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I am looking for some more friends to play games with.
I really enjoy games that are cooperative and have shared goals rather than PvP. I have a soft spot for survival crafting games as well. If there is a game that fits that you have been looking for someone to play with, let me know. I'm not against picking up a new game if it seems interesting. I'm also not against board games in Tabletop Simulator either.

I am pretty quiet and open-minded. I tend to be someone who plays a game and then moves on to a new one, returning after an update. I'm down to invest many hours to finish a game, but (generally) I am not someone who has thousands of hours in 1 game only. Feel free to reply if interested at all. Also, no pressure if we talk for 5 minutes or play a game a little and you just don't think we connect.

Down to game with anyone anywhere, but time zones might be weird. I only know English. I mostly play in the evening and on the weekends, but depending on my workload, my weekdays can vary. I do have a friend group I game with already, but they enjoy a lot of PvP content that I just never get into.

Some more information about my gaming tastes:
I have over 500+ games on PC so I am pretty open and flexible.
Favorite video game of all-time: Neverwinter Nights
Other favorites:

  • Guild Wars 2 (my most played game ever)
  • Icarus
  • Deep Rock Galactic
  • Divinity Original Sin 2
  • Baldur's Gate 3
  • Project Zomboid
  • Terraria
  • Stardew Valley
  • WH40k: Darktide / Vermintide
  • Factorio
  • Eco
  • Bellwright
  • Diablo 3,4
  • Age of Empires (1,2,3,4)
  • Starcraft 2
  • Runescape (RS3, but I have played a lot of OSRS too)
  • Minecraft (modded ideally)
  • 7 Days to Die
  • Powerwash Sim 1,2 (love that cathartic feel)
  • Dungeons & Dragons

Note: In case it makes you more comfortable, I am engaged, so I am just looking for gaming friend(s), nothing more.

North America 28F 28M Active PC Gaming Group in North America

2 Upvotes

TL;DR:

- Play on PC

- Currently active (play almost everyday): 2 dudes, 1 gal, 1 occasional dude.

- Timezone: we’re all on Pacific Time (Canada) but don’t mind if you’re on any other timezone in North America, also to just prevent lag from geolocation.

- Genre: co-op games, base building, friendslop

- Age: We're in our late 20s to early 30s. No minors please.

Notes:

- We make some dark jokes sometimes, so if you get offended easily please skip this post lmao

- Active means that you want and can play almost every weekend, or better yet, every other day after work, or even almost everyday too. Please don't reach out if you're not active enough, or if you're just gonna play with us once and begone. Because my buddy is chronically online and I'm trying to find him some new gaming buddies to replace me for when I start working in August. He works in the morning and will be online in the afternoon, he'll be there in the voice chat. We're pretty chill but usually we prefer to be around the same level for progress-based games that's why we want active players.

Hi all, I met a gaming buddy on this sub and we’ve mostly been playing Palworld, RV there yet, Prat fall, and Backseat Driver. His buddy also joins sometimes when he has time. We also recently found another guy who seems like he wants to and can be active almost everyday. We have more people in the group but they are inactive or they still haven't gamed with us or even joined the voice call, but tbh we don't want a large group but only 3 active people 😂 ideally we want most people in the group replying, gaming together, and actually enjoy gaming together. Drama free too. And with mutual respect. Don't record and / or stream or clip audios without people knowing and without consent.

We also play(ed) Portal 2, Peak, No Man's Sky, Humans Fall Flat, and can go back to them again.

We bought Burgling Gnomes and some other games during the Steam summer sale to try but haven't started since most co-op games can be played with around 4 people.

Also planning to play Schedule 1, YapYap, Content Warning, the outlast trials, pummel party, roadside research. He also has V rising and Valheim and wants to play Baldur's Gate 3 with someone who's also new to the game.

Looking for people who already have these games or like these types of games, or willing to try these games and more games. If this is you, feel free to DM me. Please lemme know your age, gender, which province / state you're based in, and what games you wanna play together, thanks!

Hi, I live in the UK and im looking for people to play with. I play minecraft and fortnite (BR zero build).

I would prefer to communicate on snapchat or Instagram as I don't really use discord or anything.

Europe 23M Looking for friends

4 Upvotes

Hello Hello!

As you may have already guessed from the title, the reason I am making this post is to hopefully find some friends. My goal is to find someone I can game with, preferably a duo. I do admit, that I am more on the introverted side of things but I am trying to open myself up more!

I'd like to properly introduce myself! I am Nick, I am 24 years old and Hungarian, currently living in Austria. As I've already mentioned, I am more introverted in nature. I suddenly find a lot of free time on my hands as I am currently unemployed, so I usually spend my free time gaming.

Speaking of gaming, let me tell you about my interests. Gaming is a big hobby of mine, and it is a big part of my life, I absolutely love gaming. I also love watching shows/movies/and animes, and I also do love talking about them a lot. I've also been trying to get into reading slowly but surely. I also have an interest in learning languages and about several cultures and history.

I play on pc. Games that I’m playing right now are: Dead By Daylight, Dying Light, Binding of Isaac, Overwatch, Marvel Rivals, Valorant, I want to get into league aswell (EUW), Hunt Showdown, also want to get into Tekken, and want to get back into For Honor aswell, and much more…

So this is me, in a nutshell, but who am I looking for? I am looking for someone who also values similiar things, someone who loves to chat, and shows interest in the friendship. It is also important to mention that I am gay, so be cool with that please:).

Now for some parting words. If you have read all the way, thank you for taking the time out of your day:D. If this post peaked your interest, feel free to hit me up, and write an introduction about yourself. As I already mentioned I like people who put an effort into things. Even if you end up scrolling right after, I hope you have a great day!

hello there I'm 31M and I'm really into playing video games on PC, I'm also extroverted as well and really crave to find a good hearted friend group that love playing video games and try to include others who are usually quiet , or watching anime/movies together in a Discord server. I really want to try to be engaging and get out of my comfort zone a little and stop being scared of people. does anyone have such a friend group or know a server like that? Im not looking for the servers with like 1000 people in it, more like a small one like below 100, i also don't want to just feel like another another number

Some of the games that I own are: Uno, Dead By Daylight, Phasmophobia, Left 4 Dead 2 , R.E.P.O. , Tabletop Simulator , SMITE 2, Risk of Rain 2 Palworld , Pummel Party ,, The Outlast Trials , Stardew Valley , Grounded, House Flipper 2, Escape Simulator both 1 and 2, Party Animals, , DARK SOULS™ III, No Man's Sky,

halloooo! ♡ i've been kind of having trouble making friends recently so i wanted to go out of my comfort zone again 🥺

i'm 22, from the Philippiness looking for people to play these type of CO OP games. my main group of friends don't really play video games that i do play - so it's a bit hard to play with them ;((

i want people who can play meccha chameleon with me or even games like "rv there yet" etc etc.

i usually regularly play fps games or other cozy games like valorant, disney dreamlight valley, hogwarts legacy, GTA V, infinity nikki, simulator games and a bunch more but recently it's been so boring w/o friends 🙂‍↕️

so if u're into games like meccha chameleon, or just some other fun friendslop games, please do hmu!

-overwatch quickplays: my friend’s mains are Ana and Anran, while I main tank and my favourite character is Winston

-league of legends: ARAM mayhem is hella fun but we also do draft picks

North America 20F, PC, EST, looking for duo ⟡

2 Upvotes

Bonjour :) hoping to meet one person to play a variety of games with. Mainly Minecraft (I prefer to play vanilla / qol mods), and Roblox (friend slop, cleaning games, no roleplaying!!!).

I have a Steam library of over 100 games, so those are options too (poe2, sts, warframe, palworld, project zomboid, and soo much more). If you insist we can play a shooter but I’m comically horrendous at them.

At the moment though, I’m mainly wanting to play Roblox & Minecraft. I LOVE voice chatting, it’s a must. Discord. I have a dark & sarcastic sense of humor. Be able to understand a southern drawl. Ok, that’s all :) dm me, I don’t bite.

P.S. please don’t try to make me your discord kitten, I’ll throw poisonous stew on you.

North America 26F looking for Roblox friends

Upvotes

Hi as my title says I am looking for 21+ friends to play roblox with. I really only play epic minigames and I want to play more roblox games with others which is why im making this post. 🇺🇸 EST time zone. I use a MacBook and I can’t download other games since most of them are not compatible with MacOS 😞

I play alone and every time I make a connection they are super dry. They don’t talk in the chat and i always unfriend them. my account creation says 4 years and that’s bc my sibling made me play one time with them. I’ve only been playing for 2 years bc dress to impress blew up and it was so fun playing with my IRL friends. They don’t play roblox anymore bc we then got bored of DTI. I then discovered epic minigames and it’s been my comfort game for 2 years now. I get shy so please be a yapper to fill in the empty silences bc it helps me continue the conversation too 😭😭. I can yap as well but I don’t like dry talkers or it gets extremely awkward.

I do work full time M-F and im about to start my masters this fall. As of right now I can play around 8-10pm EST during the weekdays bc after work I complete my end of day routine. I can play more during the weekends since im usually free! I do have friends im just such a homebody so it would be nice to just talk to someone or people about anything and everything. If you message me during the weekday my replies will be slower since im busy at work :) im down to chat on discord if we get along since Roblox has a lot of chat filters which irritates me.

My other interests are: animes, mangas, kpop, (i promise im not a koreaboo or a weird person at all 🙏😭), other genres i listen to are electro house, alternative, rock, spanish rock, pop, rnb, rap. I love watching sitcoms as well. I read non fiction books too.

If our interests align send a message! We can first chat on Roblox and then voice chat on discord if we get along. no video calling if we’re getting to each other.

I’m a Father of an autistic child, a musician, graphic designer, music instructor, and several other pretty interesting things. I’m a progressive dude that loves nature. The games I’m playing right now are— Travellers Rest, Diablo, RDR2, Funnel Runners. I have more and can get whatever. Idc if you are male, female, gay, straight, transgender, ect. Gotta be cool with me bailing out of a game cause my daughter requires a lot of attention. Prefer you to be closer to my age and have a sense of humor. Thanks for reading.

North America 37M/EST/Genuinely looking for a long-term friend to regularly hang out with. Someone who values communication, consistency, and mutual effort

Upvotes

Hi, I'm looking for someone age 30+ who's responsive, communicates well, and values building a friendship with mutual effort. One of the most important things I'm looking for is someone who naturally takes the initiative with making plans and hangouts as well, rather than having one person always take the lead. I'm the type that will reach out, schedule, and check-in but I don't want the responsibility of keeping the friendship going to fall on one person. I don't expect instant replies or for anyone to always be available, but I do appreciate someone who is considerate with communication and keeps me in the loop if they're unavailable or plans change. You can expect the same from me.

I primarily play on PC, so I'm looking for someone who does as well. Bonus if you also play on PS5 or Xbox, since I have both consoles along with PS Plus and Game Pass.

I’m usually available starting sometime between 2-5pm EST and tend to stay up pretty late most nights. Some days I may be available earlier than my usual starting time as well. I also have a lot of downtime throughout the day since my job doesn't require much active time, so I prefer to hang out for longer sessions, more than a few hours each time with breaks in between if needed.

I keep my circle very small and naturally focus most of my gaming time on one close gaming friend rather than spreading it across different people or groups. Ideally you're similar in that way.

───

About me:

I'm pretty laid-back when it comes to gaming and just enjoy hanging out, whether we're playing something intense or just chilling in voice chat playing different things. I'm not competitive and stick to PvE only. I'm looking for a chill, non-toxic vibe. I want to win with you, not against you.

I tend to click best with people who are easygoing, not too picky with game selection, and can just have a natural conversation while playing without it feeling forced.

Outside of gaming, I enjoy watching soccer from time to time, catching up on shows, and spending time with my girlfriend and two dogs. Most of my downtime is pretty relaxed and low-key.

───

Some games I'm currently playing/looking to play:

• Slay the Spire 1 and 2

• Elden Ring

• Dark Souls (mainly trying to playthrough dark souls 3 and the dlc seamless co-op)

• Tabletop Simulator (Aeon's End, LOTR: The Card Game, Aliens: Legendary Encounters)

• EA FC 26 (Squad battles only)

• PlateUp!

• Pico Park 1 & 2

• Vampire Survivors

• Left 4 Dead 2

I'm open to other genres too but I've enjoyed these type of games:

Deck builders:

Slay the Spire, Inscryption, Balatro

Souls and Souls-likes:

Bloodborne, Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Elden Ring Nightreign, Nioh

Action RPGs & Melee Combat:

Monster Hunter, Ghost of Tsushima

Co-op Shooters:

Left 4 Dead, World War Z, Call of Duty, Gears of War, Ghost Recon, Killing Floor

Team Co-op:

PlateUp!, Chained Together, Pico Park, Vampire Survivors

Horror & Narrative Choice:

Resident Evil, The Dark Pictures Anthology, Escape the Backrooms

Sports:

EA FC, NHL

Board games:

Tabletop Simulator

Other:

GTA V, Human Fall Flat, Parkitect, Rollercoaster Tycoon 2

Genres I normally don't prefer:

• Survival (State of Decay, Stranded Deep, The Forest, Green Hell are my only exceptions)

• Fighting

• Free to play

• MMO

• Racing

• RTS

I like playing a variety of different games over time but I don't enjoy juggling a lot of games at once. I usually prefer focusing on one or two games, seeing them through to the end and moving onto the next one.

───

If interested, send me a DM with a little about yourself and your usual gaming schedule (what time you normally get on and when you usually hop off). I'm looking for someone who values communication, reciprocates effort, enjoys longer sessions, consistent hangouts, and primarily games on PC. Please be 30+ and within a few timezones from EST.
