How does one make friends to play video games with?

>play mmo
>make post on subreddit for your state/city if others play that mmo
>find other local lads to play your fav vidya with online
>once you play enough with one another you meet up with your consoles or do a LAN together

Pretty simple if you just want to find IRL friends to play with online, it does require the use of plebbit or some other publically acceptable forum though.

I dunno. If you have literally zero established friends and if it's a multiplayer game that somehow doesn't have the ability to find other players in-game [read, not an MMO], go into communities for the game, get involved with the groups and events they make, and see if you pair up with people whose company you enjoy?
I'm not sure how good Yea Forums is for that though, most of the time I play single-player stuff, but I at least assume that going from the volume of, say, Risk of Rain multiplayer threads we get and the like, Anons have managed to bump into other Anons and trade contact so they could play more in the future?
What kind of game are you trying to play anyway?
I don't know user I'm just in the background waiting for the sluts.

I dislike joining communities because everyone there is already friends and that makes things much harder.

You just have to focus on the fact that you're doing it online through what I assume is a persona that can't be tracked back to your real identity [i.e.: you're not using your real name on your gaming account because you're not dumb], I think that would help with breaking down a little of the awkwardness of it, because you constantly remind yourself that there's literally no downsides and no stakes to it. Yeah, the community will have been there before you, but there's nothing to say that at least some of the people wouldn't be interested in interacting with newcomers and interacting with them. You're not going to be at the center of everything from the get go, but with luck, you could find a spot for yourself?
Like I said, I don't know. But the first time you do something is always going to be the hardest and the most awkward.

I get where you're coming from but when it's a preestablished community, you'll forever be stuck as the third wheel so to speak.

>just join our discord bro lol
