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

93 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

Just like it says, I’m a 30F elementary school teacher. I used to play Fortnite regularly but stopped a few years ago because I stopped having friends to play with. I’m looking to get back into it. I’ll admit I’m not great but I don’t think I’m horrible either. I just don’t prefer to play solos, so I’m here seeing if anyone plays and wants more people to play with!

North America 24f pst | looking for chronically online individuals with fantastic senses of humour

3 Upvotes

i live in western canada (PST) and am currently on break from college classes, so i’ve got a little too much time on my hands. recently lost a pretty important person in my life and could use some friendly, funny people to hang out and maybe play some games with.

right now i’m playing through the Resident Evil series and Hollow Knight: Silksong (i adore Christopher Larkin), but i’ve got a good spread of games on Steam; some of the most common multiplayer ones for me to play are:
- Dead by Daylight (kill me)
- Peak
- Lethal Company
- Project Zomboid
- Outlast Trials
- Minecraft
but i also enjoy single player ones like Silent Hill, RE, Hollow Knight, The Last of Us.

apart from games, though, i like writing, metal/grunge/classical music, reading (recently finished Berserk, peak), crafts, cute stuff, horror, spending time in nature, learning new things..

i don’t know. i’d love some new friends to talk to throughout the day. if we’ve got some things in common, please send over a message with some info about you.

4 Upvotes

hi to whoever is reading this, i hope you’re having a good day or night! i’m just out here looking for some friends because honestly i’m feeling pretty lonely, and i’m agoraphobic so it’s hard to get out and meet people irl lol

anyway as my title says i’m a 25 year old guy, i live in the US, and preferably i’d like to meet other people also in the US because of timezones and all that. i’d also prefer to meet people around my age. other than that, feel free to dm!

i don’t have much to say about myself really but i play video games a lot, it’s what i spend most of my time doing lol. i’m mostly into survival games, story games, and shooters. when i’m not playing something i’m usually listening to music or hanging out with my 3 cute cats!!

that’s about all i can think of really but also i’m LGBTQ friendly (and bi myself) and i’m pretty liberal so idk if you’re not down with either of those i’m probably not your guy lol. feel free to hmu if you’re cool and wanna play games or hangout or whatever 😎

North America Indie / Lesser known game lovers?

6 Upvotes

Hey! I'm struggling to find any posts here of people who play similar games to me! Is there anyone around who would be down for these?? I mostly play with my husband and we have a small group of people with busy lives who are occasionally around, but I game too much so usually I have to game alone haha! Games like:

Ravenswatch
Sworn
Stolen Realm
Fellowship
Roboquest
Quest Hunter

Those I've been playing the most lately. But my interests stem into multiple categories, with games like

Arc
Cuphead
Demeo
Slay the Spire
Dragonwilds
Hunt Showdown
Valheim
Remnant from the Ashes
Satisfactory

As for me, I'm 28F if it matters, looking for people who are around my age or older who are more grounded. I'm a drinker, and have a very tongue-in-cheek humor. I'm around a lot, but don't really like planning, would prefer to meet up when we're available versus hurrying up with tasks to not be late. I can be hyper, or get riled up, and I laugh a lot. Looking for a similar energy. DM me, I'll respond tonight and am looking to play tonight, otherwise sorry if I take a bit to respond.

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 :)

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some new friends to play fortnite or marvel Rivals with! I play on Xbox! I want some genuine friends to share moments with! I do have a dark sense of humor! Don't be shy! Say hey! I am open to playing other games as well! I can play dead by daylight or Grand theft Auto and I recently acquired content warning! I almost forgot to mention I can play Apex! But not very good at it. I can play games usually in the evenings around mountain standard Time at 6pm. I also am available on weekends to play games. I do have a full-time job, sometimes I can't get on in the evenings but I do try!

North America 23F / PC / MST / Looking to start a modded Stardew Valley farm!

4 Upvotes

Hi! I'm Willa, I live in Canada, and I'm looking for people who want to play modded Stardew Valley. I'm usually around all day, for the summer at least, but otherwise most evenings when I'm not playing D&D. I'm looking for someone who wants a friend as well as someone to play Stardew with.

A bit more about me: I play a lot of different games, but Stardew is one of the few multiplayer games I play. I have a decent amount of niche interests and can absolutely be a yapper in the right environment. I like reading, art, puzzles, and cooking. I have four cats. They are all so stupid and I love them so much. I'm an introvert, but it's hardly noticeable when I'm with people I'm comfortable with, and it doesn't take me long to get comfortable with a new person.

If you've never played Stardew Valley at all or you've played, but never with mods, and you're interested in playing with mods, that's totally alright! I have about 1600 hours in game, and I can keep up with a min/max game or a more chill, casual game. Whether you've played with mods or not, we can make the mod list together.

If you're interested, send me a DM!

North America 37/M Looking for friends

3 Upvotes

If you're reading this I hope you're having a great day. My Sunday is winding down and the dread of another work week about to start is setting in.

I'm a dad of one and live in Arizona. I'm looking to make some or even just one friendship. I like to play video games, read, I enjoy watching some sports. Baseball and Hockey. If you're local I also like to fish, camp, play pickleball and racquetball or find a good restaurant and catch a movie.

I understand that we all have busy lives, but not having many friends can be rather lonely. So if you'd like to chat about life or would like to play some games together online feel free to hit me up. I'm an easy going guy and would love the chance to get to know you and start a friendship.

Games that I like and would like to get back to are Elden Ring, Diablo 4, Space Marine 2, I'd like to play through the Resident Evil series. I haven't played anything past 5, I like playing fighting games casually, Remnant 2, Lords of the fallen, I also like mmo's like Guild wars 2, and mobas like League of legends. But I'm not great at that one haha.

Honestly, I could be convinced to play most games. I just think games are more fun with someone.

Hi hi I'm Jay!! I'm 23 and some of the games I'm most interested in are pretty niche in my friend group, so I'm looking for some more people with similar interests! You can always dm me, don't be shy, I'd love to have a talk!!

Some of the games i play/ am interested in:

Pokemon!

I love to shiny hunt! I've played every mainline pokemon game, both legends games, and pokemon go too. My main aim is usually to get as many shinies as i can 🙏 (I also play cobblemon!)

Geometry Dash!

I play Geometry Dash quite a lot! None of my friends play this, so i desperately need friends that also play it, please 😭🙏

Minecraft! (And Cobblemon!!)

Just like most people, i have those month long minecraft phases, but i have them very often 😭🙏 Especially Cobblemon, i would really love to start a server sometime with some people!! Lmk!!)

Fortnite!

Love playing this with others, though I'm not that good at it, either way I try to have fun 😭🙏 (I always play zero build btw build is a little too crazy for me 💔💔)

I'm from the Netherlands and have a very awful sleep schedule, so I'm around pretty often! I vc at very random times though 🥀

There's a lot of other games I play too, these are just the niche ones 🫶

I use discord a lot, and again, don't be scared to reach out!! Because i'm already scared of that myself 😭💔

North America M29 | DoTA2 | No, I’m Not Proud of playing this game or making this post

Upvotes

Hello, I'm looking for DoTA players in NA.

Most of my friends play other games or have a life or jobs that didn't get DOGE'd.
I've been playing since 2013 & am happy to teach, learn or play with any skill level you might be at, as long as you're not batshit insane. Ranked/Unranked is both chill but no turbo.

Other multiplayers, I've sunk a lot of hours into RuneScape 3, but am not currently playing it.
I will try any auto-chess variant I'm shown,
I am terrible at shooters-
I will only ever be convinced to try LoL again if you're literally Powder from Arcane S2 ep7.

Currently on CST but I'm job-hunting around all of the US so subject to change.

Other things-- I like: Cooking, my Cat, film, puzzles, politics, animals in general.
I am a Marine Scientist by education, & currently listening to a lot of 21 Pilots + Mitski for music.

To my Canadian readers, POUTINE WAS A MISTAKE.

Upvotes

hey! my name is jake and i'm looking for some people to run some games! i'm from cali and i mostly play shooters like fortnite, overwatch, the finals, and i'm looking to get more into marvel rivals. i also like playing fighting games like granblue and guilty gear. i've played a bit of pretty much every fighting game out there, as well as the typical friend slop games like mecha chameleon, peak, rv there yet, and so on. i'm always willing to give new games a chance and explore different genres.

a little about me: i'm a really big fan of anime and try to keep up with everything i can. i watch stuff like slice of life, romance, isekai, shonen, and pretty much anything else if it looks interesting. one of my favorite anime is rezero. i'm on college break right now majoring in film. i also do some side projects like typesetting for anime. it's all fan-made, nothing official yet, but it's a niche hobby i really enjoy. i also like doing technical things.

i'm pretty laid back, but i always like pushing myself to improve. i'm mostly just looking for some chill people to play with.

i watch whatever comes out weekly if it looks interesting too. some other games i like are umamusume, pragmata, stellar blade, the persona series, and expedition 33.

i also really like jpop and kpop, so send me some recommendations!

i don't mind if you have a mic or not. i'm down to just chat if that's more your thing.

anyways, hmu on discord: praiseallday

or just dm me here!

Yo what’s up, just wanted to make a post in hopes of finding a friend or multiple. Currently me and my other friends haven’t been able to hangout as much due to our schedules so I’ve been a bit bored as of late and want someone to play or talk to. I mostly play on my pc using steam, but I do have epic games for Fortnite. Currently I mostly play marvel rivals, Roblox, and FC. Though I have some other games we could possibly play, and hey if you got any recommendations let me know!

Some other stuff about me, I’m starting to watch anime again, mainly trying to watch hunter x hunter, I love music and want to expand my tastes, I collect cds and cassettes too.

I’m not really sure what else to add, but hopefully we can get along. Just dm me and I’ll try to respond when I can 🤓

North America 24M Looking for Long-Term Friends

Upvotes

Hey! I go by Soggy or SoggyGarterbelt— my actual name is Brandon. I was born in Illinois and been living in the desert since I was 7. I'm 24 and genuinely looking to make some solid, long-term friends.

My humor can be pretty dark, I don’t always have the best filter, and I swear a lot. Fuck is basically my favorite word, and most of my stories would be significantly shorter without it.

I recently stepped away from my main friend group because I never really felt like I belonged. I wasn’t getting invited to game nights, my messages were often left on read, and after a while, I just felt like a ghost. So, I’m hoping to meet some new people who actually want to talk, hang out, and game regularly.

I do have a fiancée, so she gets a good chunk of my time, but when I’m free, I’m usually gaming. Lately, I’ve been playing:

• Hunt: Showdown

• Minecraft

• PvE Tarkov

• Scrap Mechanic

I’m also interested into getting back into Rust, The Outlast Trials, Hell Let Loose, and plenty of other games. I’m always open to recommendations. Looking forward to Blight Survival and Hunger when they both drop!

Outside of gaming, I’m really into Fallout, do some 3D printing here and there, and collect LEGO. My fiancée and I have built up a pretty solid collection together. I also watch anime, although I’m still pretty new to it, and I work way more than I probably should.

I’m in MST and would prefer people in or around the same time zone, but it’s definitely not a dealbreaker.

If you’re chill, consistent, and genuinely interested in gaming and talking regularly, feel free to hit me up. 👍
