Have you made friends that you still play vidya with to this day? If not, are you just an unlovable faggot or have all your friends gone off to live monotonous normie lives? Have you made any friends from here, or do you just chitchat with randoms you meet in MMOs, FPS games, or some shit like VRChat?

my bestest friend I have ever meet and I play vidya irl every weekend or so. We get mcdonalds chicken nuggets, pocky sticks, mtn dew. It rocks! He was my trainer at my new job and he broke the ice by talking about death stranding and norm macdonald. I told him kojima sux and we got into a debate about games. He is more into the cinematic games like death stranding and god of war 4 while I like older games like half life and mario 64. But we play sonic adventure, metal gear rising, tony hawks underground and tons of other games. Shit is so awesome bros

Steam friends
>>
>>731117991
I have modding friends and only chat with randoms about gaming opinions. I never voice-chat or show my face or my real name to my "friends". I had IRL friends until I was 20 years old and just 1 friend from a computer science school who I barely keep in touch with.
>>
>>731117991
Made one of my best friends here, actually. We talk regularly and have been from at least 2018. Been wanting to make another friend here too, maybe something more than that admittedly, but this site has changed a lot since then. Feels like less people use it and it feels like the ones that do use it are less likely to chat you up unless you always reach out to them every time which is a shame.
>>731121517
It's true, you can't make friends if you don't put yourself out there. What vidya do you play, anon?
>>731126768
I always found people on steam were more fickle and less likely to have chill conversations for more than a day or so. I hate to say it, but adding an anon to talk on discord has always been more successful for general and gaming conversation.

100%'d Binding of Isaac so I'm now currently replaying Fallout NV as I never did the DLCs and the show, as mid as it is, motivated me to go through it again. Got somewhat into Blue Archive a year ago and it's been surprisingly decent, and I used to think all gacha games were pure dogshit after trying out Genshin and Battlecats. My friends haven't been as active as they used to be due to normie life stuff so I've been posting here a bit more lately, though similar to what you said, people have become increasingly schizo in the past six or so years so it's hard to make connections.
>>
>>731129753
Oh nice, another Dead God chad! I'm not the biggest roguelite guy but I've always really enjoyed Isaac. New Vegas's DLCs are overall...fun. I personally like Honest Hearts the most but I think the others are liked more overall, except maybe Dead Money. You ever played Fallout 1? If you haven't, it's not nearly as dated as you might consider and is worth a playthrough. The atmosphere alone is fantastic.
>Blue Archive
Genuinely, what do you do in that game? I've never seen gameplay in it. So far the only gacha I've considered getting into is the Wizardry one but I get this feeling that I won't enjoy it as much as I do the older stuff like 1-5 or the Gaiden games.
>My friends haven't been as active as they used to be due to normie life stuff so I've been posting here a bit more lately, though similar to what you said, people have become increasingly schizo in the past six or so years so it's hard to make connections.
Yeah, this part always sucks..That's why it's nice to have a few different friends. I'd like to have more because of that. I've tried on places outside of /v/ but there's always this weird barrier up in online circles. Weirdly I find the prospect of making friends irl to sound easier but finding myself in a situation where it'll happen sounds less likely.

I have three groups of friends, one which I have known for over +10 years, and 2 of them I've known for +20 years. All three groups are of people whom I've made incredibly close bonds to and would give me or anyone else within said group the clothes off of their backs to whomever was in need (and I was needy when a personal disaster took nearly everything I have ever owned from me, and all three helped in every single way they could, and I've returned the favor when catastrophe has hit anyone else in those groups).

All three of these groups have given their time, condolences, personal support, and money to each and everyone else within at one time or another. To call them simply 'friends' would be an understatement. As far as games go, we all play games together when ones of us shares the same game and we all actively pester each other whenever a game is being played like kids knocking on each others door to come outside and play. We'll play Helldivers 1 or 2 (mostly 2), Risk of Rain 1 or 2, Monster Hunter, Warframe, Borderlands, Battlefield, REPO, Trackmania, Terraria, Minecraft, Palworld, it's a smorgasbord from every genre with people from every walk of life and flavor of life choices.

I, personally, would like to think that if I didn't have any of them, I'd have probably an hero'd at some point or another, and each and every one of them is dearly precious to me. Just as I am to them.

A bit of both. I have plenty of friends, but they lead busy lives and have other things to do. The rare time they do want to play vidya it always is the same minecraft or terraria server that we grow bored of in two days and then quit.
I can't be assed to even start one anymore.

>Have you made any friends from here, or do you just chitchat with randoms you meet in MMOs, FPS games, or some shit like VRChat?
I made some friends in MMOs in the past, but most quit years ago and so did I. I have seen many guilds slowly die and have seen a lot of "last online: 2 years ago" and then there is the MMOs themselves turning to shit. Just look at the absolute state of the genre.

I played Flash Isaac for a bit way back in the day, and then put like 80 hours into Rebirth before dropping it for several years and then getting completely hooked on it throughout 2025. Insanely fun game when it finally clicks with you, I wish more ppl gave it a chance.
>You ever played Fallout 1?
For about an hour or two then stopped, which I hate myself for but I just can't get into it.
>Genuinely, what do you do in that game?
It's 80% visual novel, 10% messing with your cafe, and 10% min-maxing which students are best suited towards whatever raid event is currently on-going. For most story missions you can just auto-battle it out but there is some challenge. I'm mostly in it for the cute girls and the game is pretty generous with resources/pulls.
>I've tried on places outside of /v/ but there's always this weird barrier up in online circles.
Most people tend to have no more than 7 or so people they keep really close so it's understandable, every community is like its own little tribe. Of course, most friendships don't last forever so I've learned to reach out every now and again because some of my best friends were people I met by pure chance. In some instances you may get shot down pretty hard but eh, just live and learn.

I've made exactly one good friend on this website from /vm/. I don't get to play vidja much with him anymore, but he's still a cool dude and i still check in on him frequently.
outside of that interactions in multiplayer games feel barren no matter how much i try to make it not so. So i've given up on that; maybe for the better since 90% of people online seem unhinged these days.
my only regret is i never found a fellow risk of rain autist to play the games with.

>>
>>731133294
i'm canadian and anytime i make an off-color joke or comment, the handful of guys i sometimes play online with will audibly make noises of disapproval at it and simply just stop the conversation. sometimes my IRL also canadian friend will chuckle at first and then stop once he hears those 'hmmm' noises from them.
they're all from the southern american states. christ i even had a 'kate hikes' profile in a game me and my IRL friend were playing. one of the online guys asked him to stream gameplay for him, and then instantly commented on my name, saying he's not really comfortable with it. I instantly told him "it wasn't for you at all" and he just left the chat with a big sigh.

i really fucking hate people in general so don't consider this some kind of shitting on americans specifically, please. just know that sometimes the brash canadians are being coerced into silence by your countrymen

and the worst part is hearing one of them slip into dark humor only to be audibly pulled back into the plantation immediately. one of them said something about deporting NPCs that were bothering us and another one straight up said "don't do that" in such a way that clarification was needed whether he was talking to the person speaking or if he was scolding his child IRL. he was talking about the deportation joke and reiterated, 'yeah, don't do that' in the same 'i know better than you and you need to quit it' tone, which was silently accepted.

Tsar Bomba truth nuke. I would say most times I've tried it on this website it felt forced, but I did end up finding one dude who was cool that I'm still friends with to this day. So I dunno, maybe sometimes it's still worth it. Only issue these days is that it's hard to form them naturally since anyone rarely interacts in vidja anymore. Even if they do, they're likely not looking for friends since they already have their group.

I'm in like multiple friend groups and I've also watched multiple friend groups crash and burn out of drama so many times it's unreal. I have long time friends I've known from my PS3 days that to this day still hang out and chat, I have my own group I made where I only invite people I'm close with and won't exactly cause drama, are some irl friends etc and other communities that I dabble with from time to time. Making your own discord and only inviting specific people is legitimately the way to go because I swear the rot for a group starts slowly and you have to be prepared to get the fuck out eventually unless you make your own.

Shit like this is the main reason I dont have friends IRL
You think its bad down in georgia? Try talking to someone in New york
I remember being in college and going to the vidya club, and during the second meeting the fattest person I have ever met in my entire life said that their getting rid of "male and female" options in pokemon, and everyone started to clap. That same day i was walking to the cafeteria with a few of the guys, I made a joke about two of them fusing with potara earings and one of them said that "Fusing with that guy would make me weaker". It was kind off chuckle-worthy, but then he IMMEDIATELY started to profusely apologize as if he just called his mother a whore or something. I'm talking dogeza level prostration, because I guess people just aren't allowed to riff on each-other anymore? When we sat down, the topic got to how the only "representation" I want to see in vidya are diffrent fighting styles and how Haitians machete fight with one hand behind their back and one of them turned the conversation into him virtue signaling about how le racism is wrong and how America exploits Hati or some shit. I tried to make it clear that I couldn't care less but he just kept going on and on looking me dead in the eyes and going "This is serious dude". That was the last time I attempted to have irl freinds
