How are you supposed to find video game friends in this day and age? Zoomers have been ruined by instant matchmaking and older people don't play video games.

Still feeling horny and lonely from the last thread, user?
At school
Nobody wants internet friends, they just want internet fuck buddies. So miss me with that gay ass shit.
I made my last internet friends in Kongregate over 10 years ago
I will tell you, but only if you promise to put a stop to your homosexual flirtations on the internet for good.
I still hear stories of zoomers meeting their minecraft gf in real life.
I'm always feeling horny and lonely since I have no way to alleviate either but I think you have confused me with someone else.
The last thread was nice but it's depressing how many people are lonely and have no friends
Let's see if mods give enough of a shit to delete this one.
99% of people have friends user. We're the outliers here.
What's wrong with trying to find friends to play vidya with? It's related to games and this board
Nothing wrong with that but these threads often develop into other things very quickly.
No clue, i actively try it since days.
>Go to wizzards
>Everyone is either in a ((dicord community)) and doesnt require something stupid as friends, or normalfags ranting about people liking ((shemales))
>Go into a bar
>Either filled with nazis ranting about leftis and gays, or dumb fucking normalfags
>Go online games
>Everyone is a dumb fucking rankjerking turbofag that will imediatly try to add me because im master and know how to win games, but wont communicate appart from that, also they dont play other games either
>Go /soc
>Fiend friends, nobody lives in my area though
At this point i'm having less issues finding a gf than actual friends
Yeah and that's the depressing thing
Last thread was fine, people talked about games and made friends.
It actually made me feel less lonely reading it even though I was too late to participate in it
I gave up on trying to have friends.
These days I predominantly play single player games anyways, so not like it even matters.
tfw no vampire loli gf
tfw banned from posting vampire lolis
Life isnt worth it br/a/hs
Yeah, last thread was pretty good and only really came off track at the end. At least you can participate now though.
Yeah I guess it is. Not like we can really help being friendless losers anyway.
It's really dumb but mostly I feel too shy to participate
>being shy on an anonymous imageboard
What was the last thread?
Unironically same.
Why would you need any?
...
Don't be shy. It probably sounds pathetic but I appreciate being able to talk to people here at least.
How do I find a friend to talk to often? Even the ones who say they're lonely ghost you or go quiet very easily.
Vampire Gabu > Angel Gabu
Find someone that you enjoy talking with and feels the same way about you.
Nobody wants to talk to me as much as I would like to talk to them though.
What things do you like?
Sounds like you just haven't found the right person yet then!
>tfw one friend
I know this feel. Anytime I find someone with similar interest I literally can talk for hours about a certain topic but they can never keep up or get bored.
It's also awkward when people start sharing steam pages. Even if I want to add someone I won't because I don't want anyone I'm not comfortable with seeing it. And then even if I add and try to talk to someone discord I don't even know what to say despite being able to deal with random people outside just fine
It doesn't sound pathetic, talking to people here is nice
I added two people on Steam during the last thread. You just have to be willing, user.
Isn't the problem with not having things to talk to? I can talk to people forever but I don't know what to talk about
Get out normalfag.
Share discord and see who adds you
Yeah, it is nice. I like my fellow Yea Forumsirgins here.
>tfw have the opposite problem and can never keep a convo going unless the other guy is pulling in big work
>tfw you're finally that 1% in something
No point these days. I mean, you can make some e-pals but they're all alt-right retards so why bother.
That's a weird problem to have. I have have trouble with people both offline and online. That's how I'd assume it is for most shy people.
What if they're not from the US and not alt-right, user?
No I always have things to say even if its silly. People end up blowing me off and making me feel stupid.
This sounds awful.
Is this bait?
The internet is global and just about all gamers are infected.
I actually appreciate people like that. Don't be so insecure about it.
Silly things can be fun, user. Maybe you just need to find the right people to talk to, but you'll have to respect if they have other things to do, too. Being overly clingy can be a problem, but I'm sure you can succeed.
Be good enough at a game and people will invite you to their mumble/ts servers. You get invited to so many that you can pick and choose which group of people you want to play with.
The better you are, the higher likelihood of players having similar tastes to yours
I’m crying in the bathroom at work I’m so lonely.
Cheer up, user.
I’m sorry years of social isolation really paralyzes me sometimes.
i literally went to go smoke and play video games and theres ANOTHER thread here when i get back
I had periods in my life where I was pretty much forced to interact with people outside so I ended up learning how to pretend to be a normal functioning human being. But I can't do that online, and there's no point in pretending on the internet anyway
I don't mind if they'd like to do something else but nobody ever tells me, they just stop talking and I wonder if I did something wrong.
What kind of silly things? Also you sound nice to talk to
Don't worry user nearly all of them are just lying to fit in, it's cool to be a anime girl avatar posting prancing sissy homo loser who just wants to be loved.
So because of that everyone pretends to be one.
Have fun but be careful, you never truly know who you're interacting with unless you've been buddies for years and have image swapped/voice chatted a bunch.
Yeah that makes sense actually.
do internet friends count?
>a
None of you will ever be happy if you reject the truth.
I get what you mean, some people just going silent can be frustrating, but that shouldn't discourage you. Not everybody sees talking on a chat as a main activity, so if something comes up, they just drop the conversation and might resume it later. If that's not the case though, it's just plain rude, given it happens all the time.
Look for games you like playing over on /vg/ and make friends by playing said game with people from there. Hopefully you'll get lucky like I did and find someone who actually wants to talk to you everyday despite whatever flaws you may have. We've been friends going on 2 years now and still play the same game we became friends over, not so much as we used to but now and then. Discord helped, surprisingly
>it's cool to be a anime girl avatar posting prancing sissy homo loser who just wants to be loved.
based
What truth might that be?
>older people don't play video games.
i'm 35 and if i didn't have to prepare for winter i'd spend 16 hrs playing vidya, you dip
How are you doing, grandpa?
You can find it with self-control.
>image swapped/voice chatted a bunch
p-people actually do this?
what are some of your favorite games, gramps?
I like asking about their day or trying to give suggestions if they mention something wrong. Or just talking about food and things.
mapping in poe and started a new episode in gw2 with the missus
also my back hurts
It won't be as much rejecting as eluding for my part then.
That doesn't sound silly. Just sound like regular friendly conversation.
What build?
I am a zoomer and have 0 friends either irl or online. Where's your God now?
homeworld, guild wars, starcraft, cmr2, homm3
poe? skele/zombie/spectre necro which fucking sucks since they've updated it to op levels, everyone's playing it and every shit item i've bought for my comfy builds now costs 25c.
although i'm cutting through t10 maps with a 5L and a brightbeak, so i don't know.
I think some people tend to get annoyed if something is wrong and they start getting suggestions, kinda stupid but I had that happen to me.
I feel like I want to try to be friends with you but I also feel like I'm just going to be boring
>it's cool to be a anime girl avatar posting prancing sissy homo loser
why thank you
Ahh yes gotta love everyone hopping on your build and it becoming expensive as hell.
What's with people and needing others to complete them? Do you really need friends, girlfriend, ETC to be happy? I think not. Your brain is just fishing for feel good hormones released by making those connections. Free yourself.
well shit youre legit, almost intimidatingly so. gw and sc are the only games there ive actually played and gw isnt for me and i just straight up suck at sc. heroes of might and magic always looked cool but the only game ive played that has anything to do with might and magic is dark messiah. that game was really fun.
>it's cool to be a anime girl avatar posting prancing sissy homo loser who just wants to be loved.
Th-Thanks, user...
I wish I could hold hands with someone, I really do...
Just hold your own hand.
I would try but all my experiences have been bad, I know its not entirely me because everyone on this site seems to flake even when you do everything right.
Oh umm, no offence intended tho
I try to be alone, I function better when alone but I'm also miserable when alone so I start craving something I don't have. But I also tend to be miserable around people too, it's an enigma.
Add me if you like anime and want to play monster hunter worlds!
Renren#4244
I would talk with you if you wanna and vent stuff you sound really nice.
what anime user
i jumped off the anime bandwagon long ago. last year i followed by season was 2010. been reading and watching dr stone though and thats actually been pretty good
I would with you
What kind of experiences did you have? Also I'm an extremely patient person so I'm not going to go full retard or get mad over stupid things
I guess I'm nice and acceptable too but I hate myself and it gets in the way of trying to talk to people
B-but you don't even know me...
Why does being alone make you miserable?
I-I could if you wanted...We could get to know each other and even play games while voice chatting and swapping images!
Hello there, me.
What'd I do to sound nice? I don't really have a lot to vent about.
Even just yesterday on a different thread someone said something similar to me and they ghosted me after a few minutes. Otherwise people seem to get really mad all of the sudden and remove you, or they never cone back online. I don't have a lot of confidence in myself either.
But user I sound and look like shit...
It's a difficult question to answer, one of the things is I want to share nice things and moments with other people, usually when I find something that makes me happy I want someone else to experience the same thing. Something like that, I could go on for ages but I can't think properly
So what, user! He just wants you to hand him your identity so he can use it to bully, extort, abuse you or a combination of the above! If anything, the uglier you are the more leverage your photo will give him.
Not any of the anons you responded to but people deleted me after being offline for a while and it feels like shit. I never remove people unless they do some insane shit. You seem like you just want to talk to people about whatever's on your mind and that just attracts lonely anons.
Wait a second! I didn't mean face photos! I meant anime images and other things we find!
:( I'm sure you sound fine. Looks don't matter on the internet!
Thanks for the laugh.
this thread is gay
anyway there aren'tmultiplayer games really focussed on interaction anymore
even in mmorpg people would rather solo content
then there is no real reason to use chat because all the info you can possibly want are already on the wiki or somewhere on the internet
so why the fuck would you get to know people online?
back in the days people would chat with each other because WE WERE ON THE INTERNET! And it was absolutely RARE for someone to be on the internet. I had a 16k modem when I was a child, we were pioneer, we were NOBLES because WE WERE BETTER because WE HAD A COMPUTER AND WE MANAGED TO GET ON THE FREAKING INTERNET
You have no idea how many bitches sent me nudes and how many I sent my cock. Simply because WE WERE ON THE INTERNET AND WE WERE FEW AND RARE AND BEAUTIFUL.
By playing the same game other middle aged people play. The same ones we've been playing for years.
Can you find an anime image worthy of anyone's attention? Go ahead, post one right now.
I mean I could vent to you silly. Of course you said you like talking a lot too right?
Tfw a gf
O-oh...
And why do you need to share things with people? It seems like a pointless desire.
Everyone I've met from Yea Forums has been mtf trannies pretending to be uwu shy and degenerates who try to talk about porn every 5 minutes. Please avoid.
C'mon dude, I talked to a girl back in a talkcity chatroom, added her on aol messenger, we traded pics through actual mail, sent recordings of us talking to one another. And that was 19 years ago. Haha I miss you, Washu.
Hello me, how are you?
I've had people do that to me before, just cut off all contact with no explanation and I hate that kind of shit, my conscience wouldn't let me do it. You seem like a nice person to talk to and none of the concerns you have will happen with me, I'm confident in that, I'm more worried that I wouldn't be interesting to talk to
Feeling pretty shitty but this thread is helping a bit. How about you, me?
>washu
That was a tranny
Most desires are pointless
Wait, you two know Washu too? She said we were exclusive...
>tfw no dumb gay animeposting friends
Eleanor Rigby, man. the problem only gets worse and worse every year in developed countries.
I'm in the exactly same spot, feeling pretty shitty but this and past threads are nice to read. Do you think you can add someone from here and be friends with them?
All the more reason to focus on the important ones.
I'm dumb, gay, and I like anime.
Then stay well away from me.
I've learned to be more cautious about being "friends" with people online but I wouldn't mind having someone to talk to.
For anons actually trying to findi vidya bro's.
I like oldschool arena type shooters and play those online, not much else nowadays.
However i did just buy a new pc and willing to try out other games now i don't have to solely play ancient ones on my old toaster.
Not really into animegirl larping but i keep an open mind about people. I like a good joke (not into 24/7 Yea Forumstard memespouters though).
I really miss playing co-op games with my older bro. I recently nigrigged myself a headset but i hardly used it. All people i did communicate with over the internet via mic were very polite and formal for the games. But honestly i'd just like to yell at eachother for help and to joke around desu.
steamcommunity.com
baited and outsmarted
how many frens do you have?
Hope you find some people to play with, user.
>tfw I spend most of my week alone in my room playing vidya and wasting away on this website
based and smart astolfoposter
Same here, what exactly made you more cautious?
That is wrong, user. You're not alone, you had us.
>no anime pic
>weird formatting and lacking capitalisation
>racism
>stepped in wordfilter
Hard pass.
you're not here in my room though unfortunately
Has anyone here actually became good friends with someone they met on Yea Forums?
I haven't made a friend in years the last time I tried she turned out to be so clingy and pushed away everyone who didn't DM her everyday.
People can leave you very easily if the only connection you have to them is trough some online platform. I can be really naive about these things so I was a bit surprised when my supposed "friends" left me after I avoided going online for a little while. I'm just dumb.
I'm sorry for not saying anything for a bit, I feel too nervous to try again right now but I hope others find friends.
It's alright, want me to add my disc or something in case you wanna talk later?
Fuck it, anyone play any of these?
I'm sorry. I'm a horrible conversationalist who can only contribute in groups.
Yeah I had plenty of shitty experiences with people until I realized that my naivety led me there. Why did you avoid going online? And what's dumb is that people disappear like that
It's fine, I'm really nervous too, are you still going to be in the thread?
Racism was my other Yea Forums friend.
He a memeboy.
Did you already play a gorillion hours of L4D2?
I played a bit on xbox360 and it was frustrating.
Can i waifu an anime avatar poster user? I just want to have an user to play vidya with. Nothing lewd.
>100% OJ
Hell yeah
Nah, I got it when it was free and never really got into it.
It's a pretty fun game with friends. Pretty painful with randoms though. But I feel like that goes for most multiplayer games.
I don't know. Just had some issues to deal with and I got kind stressed out so I just avoided most online things for a bit. I know it was a dumb move but I actually wanted to catch up with people again and then they were just gone.
IRC.
I used to be like this, then I got a job and work like 80 hours a week
the money fills a hole
Find a small but active discord group for hobbies or things you're interested in. Ideally you should be looking for some discord server with less than 20 channels, around 40 active members, and less than 150 idlers. Check to make sure it's actually active by checking timestamps of messages in channel histories. At least a few messages a day and you should be golden.
Once you find that server, assert yourself and try to communicate with as many people are you can in whatever way feels natural to you, and share things you feel are worth sharing in the group as well.
Given some time, you'll become part of the group. And when the group slowly dies off with time, you should come out of it with at least a few long term friends you can somewhat connect with.
All this takes a lot of time and effort, but it's the only solid way I've found to make actual friends, and not people who just don't give a shit about you and still label you as a friend since you're a number in your friends list.
If anyone wants to be friends and talk from time to time, I'm up for it. Anime, vidya, or just casual talk about life is cool. I'm not into ERP or anything lewd, so don't add me if you're expecting that stuff.

What gives?

That's an awful place to make friends unless you're a furry and/or tranny.

Will you be mai waifu user?
When you've lost all the steam pals you ever made you lose the will to start over.
Did you try adding them back? Maybe they thought you blocked them or something
haha, true my guy
deltaanime
It's pretty much everyones chat client of choice nowdays, unless you're contrarian or one of those people who freak out about privacy and security.
More people are on Discord than any other stand alone chat client currently. It's just what people are using now.
As much as I loved MSN and IRC, we have to get with the times to keep up with the online society at large.
What did you do wrong to lose all of them?
If I try, I care, if I care, I'm gonna have a bad time
It’s impossible. People bring in friends from real life now.
>They're nervous uwu boys.
Exactly.
Clinginess and alcohol mostly.
>UZhAnk
small Yea Forums server, no gay shit please
as a stuttering homo that surprisingly hasn't been professionally diagnosed with autism
this is the most accurate
Fuck I can relate to that actually
Add me only if you play lots of games and want to discuss them. Based people only
Id/Akkadias
I haven't. I probably should. I just get anxious about these things.
what platform you autist
>84 hours a week
How do you do it?
Describe your idea vidya friend. For me, its:
>wants to talk and play with me
That's literally it
Your ideal vidya friend sounds a lot like my ideal vidya friend.
Please be mai waifu user!
>only very rarely wants to play games but often ALWAYS wants to talk to me (but understands it when i don't feel like it)
Steam
Everything else isn't video games.
A few hours on workdays and maybe thirty over the weekend. I'm close to beating my backlog.
I hurt myself today
I'll talk to you as much as I can
>I'm close to beating my backlog.
I'm jealous. People don't like me sitting inside all weekend.

I like friends that are better than me at games so I can learn from them to improve and one day surpass them.
I also like friends that like lots of different types of games.
i just want a real friend that happens to like vidya as much as i do and to be able to act like a real friend too
>very rarely play games together but always talking to eachother
huh ya know last time i felt relatively close to an online friend at least was quite a long time ago, we went from irc to steam but not to discord because we stopped talking before it got popular
we played a good amount of games together but more often than not we just shoot the shit at eachother about whatever we were doing at the time and were at least somewhat involved with our real life happenings
we watched more kamen rider together than we played video games, probably. good times.
How long has it been? Chances are it's a misunderstanding though I'd feel anxious too. Maybe if you added them and explained what happened things would turn out nice but that's kind of naive of me to think that
Pls respond
He says while posting in a gay thread
so anyone actually wanna be friends?
same as my actual friend. plays video games, is a functioning person, and isn't gay but puts up with all my coomer bullshit
same
now post more Link
sure
>How long has it been? Chances are it's a misunderstanding though I'd feel anxious too. Maybe if you added them and explained what happened things would turn out nice but that's kind of naive of me to think that
You should definitely do that, I love how after weebs send a gay apology paragraph sending back
>"Sorry who is this?"
I definitely want to but I don't think we can.
No piss off
what are you into user?
why not?
what did i ever do to you?
sometimes i wonder if i should just make a tulpa and that's it
go to your local FGC.
don’t even need to play fighting games. it’s mostly older guys and college guys who would normally browse here if they are playing something other than SFV/DBEZ/MK11.
Mine is a mix of black guys who live for blazblue, gacha autists and tcg fatties
Not long, just almost a week. I was already anxious about going back online and talking to them but that just made it worse. Maybe I'll try once I feel a little better.
I'm a /u/ poster who clicked Yea Forums by accident, want to be friends?
>gay apology paragraph
Or you can just say
>Hi! Do you remember me bro? Why did I lose you from my friend list? I miss the times we did things together, what happened?
There's your gay apology paragraph
That's only a thing in big US cities and a few EU capitals.
Who are you
been mostly playing Nintendo stuff for the last few years, favorite series is probably Pokémon because nostalgia
one Link pic for you, user
What defines a /u/ poster? Are you nice?
>afraid to open up to anybody even after talking to them for a long time out of fear that they are out to get me the second they have enough info
is anyone really okay with having an online friend who is boring and may or may not disappear for days at a time i literally have nothing to offer im sorry
Will you be mai waifu user? Nothing lewd just to talk and play vidya with.
If it makes you feel any better, you're right to worry and they probably are.
thank you very much, user
I like it when two girls hold hands.
i'm not into yuri tho...
sorry user i play pretty much 0 nintendo stuff
why even have a waifu then?
same
tfw want to drop the guard down but
It doesn't seem like it was that long, I think it's worth giving it a chance after all. I would if I were you but would also prepare for the worst. I hope you feel better user and that it will work out for you.
Same here, I'm overly paranoid when it comes to this and it makes it so much harder to open up on top of all else.
>likes playing multiplayer games together, but doesn't get overly competitive
>doesn't mind me just watching them play vidya
>likes talking about all sorts of things, but doesn't mind that I mainly just listen or ask questions
what are you into then? videogames or whatever else
I just can't handle 1 to 1 conversations at all, I haven't even been able to attempt to make a new friend in years. I'm perfectly fine jumping into a server and joining in the fun but adding anyone after a match is a strange hurdle I can't seem to cross. It's a shame, there are some Yea Forums fotm games that I've really enjoyed playing but once the threads dry up and I have no one to play with I drop them.
Why did the BNG racenights have to die out so soon? Fuck those were fun.
Well they might be, an e-friend came out as a tranny and since I knew his real name I emailed his dad about it
>Last online 40 days ago
glad to be of service
Thanks, user. Hope everything goes well for you too.
>doesn't mind me just watching them play vidya
while you rest your head in his lap?
mostly rpgs and the occasional anime and manga
I would try to make friends but I already messed up two almost perfect relationships that fell into my lap and I dont think I deserve another chance
Why disappear for days?
Do you have any friends? Do you talk to them about /u/ stuff?
What do you like?
you are very much appreciated
i feel you, sometimes i just gotta get the fuck away from people i feel i'm boring because i'm bad at banter, i never really find fun in insulting people even sarcastically
I wish someone wanted to watch me play games, I get excited having someone who sees cool things that happen
which ones specifically?
I'm still here
Someone who shared my excitement for the games I love. I literally walk around at home pretending to talk to people about whatever game I'm playing and explaining every little detail.
I think I’m going to kill myself after work.
A clone of myself
mostly diablo likes and action rpgs
that would be nice, but certainly optional and not required.
I'll cheer you on, user
gay
play vidya instead
I just want an anime avatar poster user as a waifu
Hello friendly Anons, how is it going today? Have you made new friends yet? If not, don't be shy! Just engage in a friendly conversation. It will be fun!
god, that sounds nice
you are too kind
no, you are
every thread needs someone like you
no. and i probably never will.
Why?
No finding friends is very difficult
Yay!
user I know you're nervous and don't trust people but I hope you can give this a try, I'm nervous too. You can add me and then we'll figure it out, if you don't think talking to me will be a good idea then you can tell me so and remove me afterwards. I'm the user who kept replying to you, you can check that reply chain. Anyway, here Lune#6293
>anime/manga, video games
What are some of your favorites?
>obscure 70's/80's vinyl
Sounds interesting, tell me more.
Please don't say that, user. There is someone for everyone, even if it doesn't look like it at first. It can take a long time to find someone you're compatible with, but it's not impossible!
The only thing you need to kill is the bad(or good) guys(or girls) in videogames, please do that instead
i've given up. sorry.
>mostly play single player and the few multiplayer games I play are ones that are or can be mainly single player anyway (Pokemon, Monster Hunter etc.)
>only like co-op with people I know won't be bothered by me sucking
>don't feel I can contribute to most communities so haven't got much to say anywhere
>struggle to find new friends due to this
i used to watch my brother and some of my best friends play games all the time. idk why but i enjoy it as much as playing most of the time.
the person im close to plays vidya in the living room all the time and i enjoy watching him for the most part. he is not as receptive to reactions as id hope sometimes.
Maybe it was just not the kind of fun you'd enjoy. People like different things, user, that's okay. I'm sure there's something you enjoy, even if you wouldn't label it as being fun right away.
I am sorry to hear that, user. I know it can be hard. I don't get along with most people, either, that's fine. But please believe me, if you keep looking, you'll find someone. I promise you that.
Okay, that's a pass.
What are you looking for in a friend?
thank you, kind user. I'm going to have to fall asleep now, cya around
>don't feel I can contribute to most communities so haven't got much to say anywhere
Me too
I'll stay up for a little longer
hope to find you again soon
I daydream about being in a relationship where I and my partner take turns showing each other cool tricks in games we love while relaxing in pajamas on a weekend. Things you only find out or get good at because you really like the game.
I wish I knew. I really want vidya friends but I'm shy and pretty boring.
Wholesome thread
Know that we can all make it
That includes (You) too, lurkers
good luck finding a girl like that lmao
As other user said:
>likes talking about all sorts of things, but doesn't mind that I mainly just listen or ask questions
and
>wants to talk and play with me
That...that really its everything. I don't mind not having a lot in common, or having a exact personality (of course i expect a girl/bro that i will like to spend time with). The most beutiful thing about friendship is always find a way to expand yourself and find new ways to enjoy life meeting any kind of new people.
I just...i just want to be part of someone's life, being important to someone that i care about. I miss that feeling. And i want to feel it again
How am I supposed to stay in touch with vidya friends when I'm stuck working 60 hours a week just to make ends meet? Who is even around to play games on Tuesday, my only fucking day off? I'm nothing more than a fucking lifeless husk surrounded by people hiding under 57 layers of irony every time they talk. No one is genuine in their speech. Everyone is always afraid to speak their mind in fear that they'll be shit on for whatever and it's driving me insane. I've completely forgotten how to socialize and I just want some FUCKING HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who said anything about a girl?
I like guys so its only a little more probable
should i make a discord?
I'd be daydreaming like that right now if I wasn't here in this thread.
Nah. I am the bad guy.
Lonelyguy#5274
Which games do you play, user?
i know exactly what you mean, very comfy and ive had similar daydreams.
the guy im talking about was playing bloodstained once and i had to suppress a lot of the interesting stuff i found from my playthrough as he's very much a "im going to discover it myself *discovers only 5% of the game*" guy
fags
Are all anons here are cute anime girls in real life?
Mostly , Dragon's Dogma, PoE, Terraria and Grim Dawn nowadays but I'm open to trying out most stuff.
it's too much heartache sorry user
Why?
no but judging by some of the anons here we're likely dealing with some actual agp cases in here
No. I'm an ugly 6'1 guy.
Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san is uninspired shit
I really want to waifu an anime poster user.
Yeah you sound pretty boring, I don't want to be your friend
That does sound like it would be easy to find someone to play with, especially PoE and Grim Dawn. I actually own the latter, but never really played it, so while we could play, you might be annoyed by me not knowing a lot about the game just yet. I believe in you, user!
You know we don't actually look like anime girls right?
The Profile With No Name#1084
Only in my heart where it matters.
I’m 36 and alone. How could I not be a bad guy.
Not him but that only makes it hotter.

prepare for a rocky relationship. they're often at odds with who they are vs who they want to be, and they ofc will never actually be as attractive as the 2d animes they post(not to say that that's what they're actually trying to do, its likely just how they feel)
gl being accommodating to that behavior
this user may have actual potential with it too
Understandable. I told you I'm not an interesting person.
PoE kinda sucks for party play and Grim Dawn is pretty niche when it comes to MP. I wouldn't mind playing with someone new, I think it could be pretty fun. My biggest fear with stuff like that is the new guy not liking the game and dropping it after a few hours.
I haven't been here for a while. How is it that we can have multiple friends threads here today and mods don't give a shit? Have they relaxed when it comes to this lately?
How?
Die centrist! You don't belong in this world!
I guess that makes a lot of sense when it comes to playing with someone new to the game. You mentioned Terraria as well, I know Yea Forums sometimes plays on servers together, so what about that?
There's nothing that makes you bad in that. Life can be just shit like that. I'm a pretty hopeless person myself so I don't think I can give you much advice there but ending your life is the shittiest thing you can do. Do you have money? If I had money I'd just say fuck it and go to japan for a couple of weeks, maybe you should try that
I just want a fat ugly 30+ foreveralone fembot who I can be myself with, and don't have to roleplay Chad even for online friendship.
I'm just a degenerate.
Unironically, fetish group chats. You’ll either find absolute insufferable degenerates or decent people with similar kinks to you.
It's a game that you need to play for a longer time consistently for it to be really fun and you can't really get that on Yea Forums. It's not something like say RoR where you have independent runs that last ~30 minutes.
internet friends are worthless and erp is hit or miss
You guys gonna leave your discord without posting any additional info?
Play a co-op game with pubs and just be a good teammate. 90% of my Steam friends list is people who added me through L4D2, Dark Souls, or Borderlands.
i want to bap this user!
Friends threads are coming back
This time with even more gay ERP and no one fucking adding each other
I haven't turned on my PC in over 5 months. I've become the one thing I've despised the most here on Yea Forums, a phoneposting loser.
These threads are notorious for clingly shitters user, they don't get the idea that you're a real person that has to survive and make ends meet. Same reason why everything is said under a dozen layers of irony. Don't you have people to talk to at work?
Not my fault no one plays good games.
I'm a big guy with a deep voice and people flock to me because I'm sociable and am good at videogames, but all I want to do is give all my attention to some shy lonely person and make their life great
dont know why I dont have normal desires like most others
That's gay.
this but also i want my dick sucked by said lonely person
It encourages people to actually find out stuff and I'm a fucking retard who didn't think of doing that
There's actually less gay erp now than before. Maybe that's why mods aren't nuking them.
>finally find a fun show about a cute NEET girl
>S2 never because author is dying
I'd offer you that kind of opportunity but I fear I may be a bit too old for you, user. Haha, I wish I could find Carnevil machines locally....
Eh, it's not that hard user! Just let yournintentions be known.
i want 4 friends that i can play wow together with that always stick together.
maybe i should just multibox
That only ever got me Russians commenting "cпc" and "+rep" on my profile.
is said lonely person a male by any chance
in either of these scenarios
This post warms my heart.
D-Do you have discord?
Why would you even think that? Males are disgusting.
This was your chance, user. You could have added some information, but you still didn't! It can be hard to just message someone without knowing anything about that person, if you list some games you enjoy, you will make it easier for both parties involved.
They'd have to be a really cute femboy if they're male.
This but I'm shy and don't have a deep voice.
There's no such thing as too old
Would you be my friend at least and share interesting secrets with me?
one of these days bros
one of these days
this but people don't flock to me because I only drive them away
I've been in these threads for months and I haven't made a single friend.
don't lose hope
Are these the new equivalent of Steam Friends Threads? I kind of miss them in a way, so many good people long gone. I still see a few around on Steam every now and then so it isn't all that bad! I guess I'll leave my tag for any anons who'd like to be friends and would.be okay knowing my only console available is Switch while my house is being refurbished. I'm from the PST Timezone and won't really have time to plah vidya on thursday-sunday nights because I work graveyard. I keep my tastes in vidya diverse and enjoy playing smash with people. I enjoy meeting new people and love to learn stuff about vidya so if you're any good at vidya and willing to teach I'm willing to learn or if you know a ton about them too. Anyways I hope to meet many anons. I'll be around all day! Akane#6159 (I like card games like ygo btw)
someone play csgo with me
Fair then I was The Profile With No Name. I play a fair bit of City Builder, Grand Strategy and Total War games, as well as RPGs.
Yes, that's how it works.
Is there going to be a third thread?
I am a lonely guy that is going to kill himself
Why are you playing with Russians? You need to select servers that are in your country.
I have no secrets, I am an open book but I can teach you a ton of super special tricks! Especially in Mario!
Haha, don't say that. It's a slippery slope.
I made a video game friend today. He killed me when I was afk and when I came back I slaughtered him for about 10mins. Then he sent me a friend request and we played in a posse for a few hours. So basically get gud
I'm confused, everyone is saying they hope or wish they make a friend but no one is attempting to add each other right now?
>actually play fighting games
>want to go to a locals
>no car
fucking sucks, i'll never get better then "netplay shitter" because i have exactly 0 in person experience. Also Blazblue is dead right now so it's hard to get motivated to even play anymore.
I can't imagine this stopping until a mod steps in, which is usually how it stops. There will always be at least one user that's going to want to repeat the thread
>what's it like having friends Yea Forums?
or some shit like that
I wish there were more detailed posts like this.
To be fair, I did post my discord tag. Other anons are too shy.
adding people from Yea Forums is possibly the worst decision a man can make
How old are we talking here?
a few brave anons posted their discords
My old best friend’s little brother who I’ve know his whole life is getting married and i am 36 and alone and I just want to die.
They want friends not some autist who will message you like hes an anime girl
Nobody plays the games that I do.
Please teach me!
You are wrong. Adding people from Yea Forums whom actually play videogames can be quite a nice experience.
I'm a Slav too.
It’s better than being alone, and if you are like me the people you add from Yea Forums just stop talking to you as well.
How is it a slippery slope? What is too old? Maybe some people wouldn't want big age difference but there are plenty who don't care, like me
That's how Steam Friends Threads posts and profiles used to be so I just followed suit on the formats that I remember. It's probably just rose tinted glasses I see them with because they were 8+ years ago. I loved em back then and love the idea of them now. If you wish to see more you should post yours to start a trend! You might inspire more detailed posters with amazing interests like Grand Strategy or Tabletop!
Add someone you can actually play with dummy.
every time i added someone from one of these threads we talked for about an hour and then we either didn't know how to initiate another conversation with each other or one of us (or both) just lost interest because there was nothing else to talk about
I don’t know how to play multiplayer games anymore.
now you know the secret to why none of us have friends. we're all passive people who want someone to reach out to us rather than us having to reach out to someone else.
Am I brave if I feel like an anxious mess and feel like I need a drink? I don't feel brave
and the user I was hoping to talk to didn't add me ;_;
Yeah i added one person who was okay until he started begging me to gameshare CTR so i deleted and blocked. Sorry bro
I would but I'm way too boring and uncreative for that.
The avatarfagging begins
I look forward to the gay drama and love triangles coming back too
You can't really make proper friends over the internet.
What do you mean? Not everyone will require you to be good.
You should ask how young, it's much more polite!
What would you like to learn?
Other people care and I'm bad at dealing with people.
sounds cute point me @ your discord
I'm sorry for your negative experience, but rest assured that not everyone on Yea Forums is like that.
Works on my machine. I have absolutely no problem making friends, but I don't value internet friendship so I mostly play with IRL friends.
Have you tried being likable?
If you ask someone how young they are, you sound like a creep though, user.
Braver than most other here, I guess. I kind of want to add people but I'm just sitting here doing nothing instead.
Tell me how young you are then.
Whatever you're willing to show, I want to know cool tricks. I don't care about ages either.
How exactly are you bad at dealing with people? Also there's definitely no such thing as too old to be friends
>How are you supposed to find video game friends in this day and age?
Serious answer, discord.
I swear there is a discord for about anything and people are willing to talk to you.
The only problem I see is that you will meet some stranger fuckers as well.
Oh, it was unintentional avatarfagging. I have never paid attention to a single piece of gay drama or the love triangles. I just really like that artist so I post their art. It's nothing I focus on or anything. Just for you though I'll stop.
It's always writer block that stops people but once you force yourself to get the first line or two it'll feel natural. You just gotta type what is on your mind.
I'm not cute though, not at all. Seriously, more like awkward and have no idea what to talk about.
But yeah, here
I would add you, but I worry that you might be one of those clingy sissies.
Had a group of friends who invited their friends who invited their friends, people have come and gone but there has always been a core group.
I have a ton of people I meet online and in real life but none of them even get back to me
Sorry user I tried but I just can't write anything even renotely decent.
Fuck off discord tranny.

I think I might be done with speaking to people online. Each time I get closer to someone I inevitably expose my insecurities and tell a bit about my life through the subtleties of conversation. They always seem to misinterpret it as me wanting them to be my saving grace. I have a lot of issues that can’t be solved and yet people online seem to think it’s their “responsibility” as a friend to fix me. If that’s what friends do for one another, I don’t think I want friends. And then it’s my fault for not being open to support and empathy.
I play video games to help me forget about my life crumbling around me. I don’t need the people I share this escapism with to remind me of the issues I’m escaping from.
Anonymous is really the only channel I feel comfortable with sharing a conversation with now. Apart from that, I just want to play video games.
Someone that live near me and maybe likes manga and other stuff I like.
You should. I bet you're really interesting and everyone would be graced by your presence and you'd make dozens of hundreds of friends if you put out a bio and put yourself out there for friends.
Just keep thinking about it. You'll come up with something also look at other posts and take what they've said and kinda treat it as a template in your mind. It helps me unsure if it helps others.
Never really thought about it that way but it kind of makes sense for me too. Once I reveal too much about myself to someone it gets hard to keep talking to that person, since they keep reminding me of what I'm trying to forget.
>name is foreign
>people always mispronounce it
this
FaggotDaddy?
It's human nature, what you need are people who lack empathy and don't care about you all that much. But then, what's the point in having those people around? It can be hard to strike a balance and I understand the point you're making. It can go the other way as well, being too empathetic when people interpret you being empathetic as you being their saving grace, which can be very tiring and cumbersome after a while. So you have to keep in mind that deep down inside, everyone will always be selfish and look for something or someone they can benefit from.
no, it's bignigger
It's not that creepy~
It's just a funny way to flipping things around!
That's my secret! I'm old enough to feel bad hanging around anyone under 20.
Right now is a perfect example of exactly that!
If they don't care about you why would they want to talk to you?
Open books don't carry secrets. You don't have to be that old to feel bad about hanging around people under 20.
who wants to meet up with and play video games in real life who lives in Central Florida? pic unrelated
>Just had some issues to deal with and I got kind stressed out so I just avoided most online things for a bit
Then stop doing that shit.
I stand by my point, it is creepy, user, unless you can already guess from someone's appearance that they're older and you want to compliment them.
Try to find people with your own niche interests or taste in games. Me and my closest friends love pop'n music and iidx, which have generally smaller communities nowadays.
Anyone who publicly posts their discord tags on Yea Forums is going to be a boring faggot. I speak from experience.
>It's not that creepy~
>Right now is a perfect example of exactly that!
Fuck off retard
I don't get this at all, it's the opposite for me, I just want to fucking play games and have fun and people want me to fix their unfixable shit.
>dude is like "I'm depressed what shall I do"
>try to motivate him
>"but I can't do it"
>maybe you should get help from an expert I'm just a random dude man
>"wow I'm not crazy why do you treat me like shit"
Well you obviously are you fucking faggot.
Even lost 2 real life friends recently cause of this, one dude is mentally unstable and I basically told him I can't fix him, but I'm always there to have fun and do things etc. but I'm not a fucking psychologist.
Not that guy, but yea, if youre 30+ and hang with kids 20 and below, youre fucked
Everyone who has the same interests as me is almost guaranteed to be exhausting to be around. There's also probably only 5 of those people in my entire country. Some people are meant to be alone.

I mean I watch an anime and read a manga every now and then but resorting to anime friends who want to force feed you garbage or hate you is a mistake I won't make again. I have no idea what kind of person I'd connect with anymore.
Relationships are a giant pain in the ass and not worth it. Might be I think that way cause I'm an autistic.
Anyone have Xbox and want me to add them, friends. I have 50 people online at anytime but never play with anyone anymore
>might
Anime posters all smell terrible. This is fact
I want someone to empathise with me and understand my issues, sure, but every single close friend I’ve made in a friend group seems to think it’s their self-righteous mission to save me from my shackles and reform me into some cheery spirit. Then when I refuse their emotionally mechanical solutions or say I’m generally uncomfortable talking about it they make me feel bad for shunning away from my glaring flaws and shitty situation. I’m not ready to confront my problems head-on right now, does that make me a bad person? Am I a worthless human being for just wanting one hobby where I can find comfort and respite away from all of the bullshit in my life?
I’m sorry for ranting, I’m truly terrible at articulating whatever the fuck emotions or thoughts that are stewing in my head. That’s partly why I’m uncomfortable confronting these issues with artificial friends.
>I'm an autistic
Sry user, but that made me laugh
Fuck off faggot
What fucked up shit do you like that only 5 people like the same stuff?
/thread
My experience brought me to the same conclusions
I only smell bad because I jerk off and then wear the same boxers for a week
rude
Anime posters are cute anime girls! I want to waifu one!
homos OUT
It’s not that I feel they don’t care about me, it’s that even when I make it explicitly clear that I’m uncomfortable talking about the absolute fucking tragedy that my life is they still feel as if if they were to fix me it’d make them more morally content with themselves, or something. I don’t get why people always seek to “improve” me. I want video games to be my escapism, not my solution.
Nobody cares faggot
mean
This. If you want friends so much, start by showering every day and shaving that neckbeard, you pigs.

It's a strange kind of feel. Making online friends is not hard, just show up to the same place over and over again. Be it a game server, a discord, or a forum. Just be there and be socially "present"/participant - then keep doing it tomorrow, and the next day. I know this is hard for those of us with anxiety, can't offer much help there as I only really get nervous irl. My main advice is to steel your nerves, be a man and go for it - you have more second chances than you think in people's hearts and minds.
This is what I’d look for in a friend. Someone that’s emotionally available when I need to vent and someone that’ll listen, and mostly validate how I feel about things. Not try to untie the knots inside my head but just to say “yeah bro that sucks”, but in a more understanding way.
You shouldn't apologize for ranting, it helps. It doesn't make you a bad person either, you have your reasons, but they have theirs. "Helping" people is what makes them feel good about themselves. In their position, they cannot fathom someone not wanting to be "better" and thus take offense to you not taking their "advice". I can understand you perfectly well in that regard. I am devoid of most empathy myself, so all I can do is pretend to understand people's issues, but deep down I end up not caring, knowing it makes them feel better when I listen is somewhat nice though, I'll admit that.
I don't know if you noticed, but his is an Anonymous board, vent your frustrations dude, the worse this site can do is post smug anime girls. That said, what's troubling you man?
I've been playing the same game with ~5 people for months and 0 people have added me or even said anything more than "GGs"
>join a discord server for a specific game
>have a blast and make friends.
Its ez just dont join those vague ass "vidya server" you bond through actual gameplay, not idle chit chat about memes or erp
>join a discord server for a specific game
>it's full of cliques and nobody even talks to new people
Every time.
How old are you?

then you quit the game, and everyone stops talking to you

>no one has added me to play monster hunter worlds yet or to talk about anime
Very close to 30
I'm sorry, user. I just don't play Monster Hunter and I barely ever watch anime.
Bring back lobby matchmaking where you can shittalk before after and during the game
How's it going, gramps?
PC or PS4?
I don't watch enough anime to feel comfortable talking about it.
The problem is my interests are too broad across many things and all of it is just skin deep.
N-No bulli
Just asking a question.
Yea Forums is the best board to make friend fyi
I feel compelled to, because it takes up your time reading it and you don’t gain anything out of reading my ranting. Feel like there’s something inherently selfish about me unloading my problems into a public forum and filling it with shit nobody frankly cares about since they’vd got their own issues to tackle.
After typing that out it really doesn’t make much sense. I guess apologising for my bad behaviour justifies it in a way.
I don’t think you should feel bad for only listening without caring much or offering any avice... even just placing yourself in someone’s shoes and acknowledging that their situation sucks can be enough to validate their whining and make them feel better. Human nature is funny.
It’s not exaclty contributing anything worthwhile to the thread though. Everyone else seems to be perfectly content without me storming in and unloading my shit. It’s mostly self-esteem issues, head has been stewed for the past 6 years from abuse and emotional neglect that I feel attacked when confronted with my problems. I haven’t been able to think rationally for the past couple years either, which is also why my post quality’s dropped dramatically as you can no doubt tell. Just don’t feel interesting enough to be able to offer anything to anyone so I don’t try anymore, even if I crave any sort of social contact with desperation I do my very best to avoid making any lasting relationships out of fear for commitment. That’s more or less my mental instability summed up.
I like cumming!
My first encounters with my server were lonely as well. Just keep going. I just showed up every day to play the game and not talk, I'd listen to podcasts and shit in the background. Eventually I started to recognize people from last time I played, and worked up the courage for small conversations and shitposts. Also just got much better at the game so people started to want me on their team.
Be as valuable an asset as you can be. Become someone that people want to have around. Keep going.
>mfw bulling someone +10 years older than me
But I hate sports. And if I liked spoets I would have 0 issues finding friends IRL.
Dude, same! Wanna cum together?
I like Mon Hun, I been playing Iceborne on Ps4. I don't watch much anime to really talk about it though
PC, of course.
Well fuck, ps4 only fag here, good luck dude
>PC
HUGE red flag stay the hell away.
Rude
What's wrong with PC, is it broken? Ive only played it on ps4.
DUMB sataniagrandpa go take care of your wife and kids and bbq with your boomer friends instead of shitposting,
>not the fact he's a washed up avatarfag

Sure!
I want to befriend a sataniaposter!
Stop bullying him.
Is this the gay roleplaying thread ?
>protecting a shriveled up old man
Yuck
Or else what?
Just leave him alone, please.
Anons stop bullying, it's not nice. Be nice!
Pssh, you're not even old. Post your tag, kid.
ya
I Highly Highly recommended NOT making friends with anyone who browses Yea Forums daily. They likely have SOME sort of shit wrong with them that you either will notice right away or will pop up later. DO NOT, I RECOMMEND DO NOT, ACCEPT FRIENDSHIP HERE. IT IS BETTER TO BE ALONE.
Name a time and what you wanna fap to, user :3
I've been on xbone for some six years and that always seems to be the case. People move on if you aren't playing the same games as them. Shit happens.
I want an old user to bully me.
Can you post yours i've been bullied in this thread too much already
OK!
Shut up loser, I bet you're just as old.
how old is "old"
It's always fap-time for me! You pick!
You talk like a gay and your shit is all fucked up.
>have this as my profile picture
>not a stuttering faggot just really like Chen
Why the fuck do you all larp as cute anime girls? Just either get good at a game and be open, people can't hurt you through the internet and if you're a shitter you deserve to be bullied. Also stop saying you want friends when you're looking for a boyfriend you aids ridden faggots
This thread is full of anime girls . I want to waifu one to play vidya with.
How do I make friends then
I'd say at the very least around 27/28.
If I post mines I won't be able to focus on you though user! Tons of kids will add me and what then? I'll be that weirdo talking to kids all day online. Think about it!
I wanna hurt you stupid fucking weebs just fucking die already
ha, checkmate
>tfw 26
If you mean memey bkub chen youre just as bad you fucking faggot
That wouldn't be good! Asmo#3277
That's still pretty old.
no i like normal chen, this is another one of my profile pics
nice botched reply dumb chen poster
This. Finding a half-decent human here is like finding one at an anime convention or a Smash tournament: they do exist, but you're essentially playing Russian Roulette with 5 bullets. I would always recommend casually playing games with anons, but being serious friends is a different story.
The truth is you don't want "video game friends." You want real friends who happen to also enjoy playing games here and there, and to make those you'll likely have to leave your house.
Will you become my vidya waifu dumb chen poster?
