He doesn't have 100+ steam friends

he doesn't have 100+ steam friends

why are you not making friends?

i dont play or communicate with 100+ persons constantly so i dont feel the need to keep someone on my list if theres nothing to do

I have nearly 100. I don't try to socialize but people keep sending friend requests.

Oh yeah I love having 100+ fucking nobodies/ego retards that treat Steam as a social website.
Fuck no, at best 15 close acquaintances that you talk on the regular.

everyone i meet on steam is a fucking weirdo. i especially hate people like OPs pic. yeah man i dont think pepe the frog and saying NIGGER at every given opportunity is that funny, kinda just want to play the game and shoot the shit. oh whats that you have no interests or hobbies besides speaking in memes and not being remotely sincere ever? cool man looking forward to getting 30 messages every hour about why im not online at 2am.

I've only met like 2 people I've had a meaningful connection with on steam, so I always keep my friend count low. If someone adds me I keep them there for a month and then delete them if we don't end up talking much, it's that simple.

what is the best nor the faster method to making friends on Steam

Play a lot of Dark Souls, Elden Ring and co-op multiplayer games like the Killing Floors, Vermintide and Deep Rock Galactic.
I never added people; people added me.

haven't made a meaningful connection on videogames in over a decade. used to make friends i kept up with regularly when i was a teen / younger

pretty much this. i've never not regretted interacting with someone like that.

I barely have time to play vidya with my close, irl friends. I don't want to deal with dozens of people wanting to talk and play games every hour.

i used to have almost 200 now i have 28

Clicking "Add Friend" doesn't magically spawn a friendship.
Would you invite those people to your home? Introduce them to your family? Do you talk to each of them frequently? Do they genuinely give a shit about you?

half my friends are dead or MIA

even the friend collector social butterflies have disappeared

ive become elderly

I'm the MIA friend. You only choose to reach out to me when I'm on an application for playing video games

and how many are you interacting with on a weekly basis?

opens steam

clicks invisible

Nah I don't want to play counterstrike with people

I view my steam as something personal and private, why the fuck would I add randoms

I am also you. Everyone I thought was my friend just ignored me when I'm not on Steam even though they all had other means to contact me, including my fucking phone number.
Now I don't have any friends.

anyone want to talk about vidya/gamedev and music?
I need some album recs

100%. To be totally fair, I have a tendency to ghost people, especially if we haven't kept up for a while, it makes me anxious. BUT, my friends that have my phone number would harass me whenever I went on steam or the like. Vidya platforms becoming social media was a mistake

I don't speak with any of them. Most are just random people from Steam groups I've never messaged before. The few I do know I haven't messaged in years. How do you make actual friends on Steam nowadays?

I have a tendency to ghost people, especially if we haven't kept up for a while, it makes me anxious

Same. I already barely reach out to anyone as is, but if I don't talk with someone for a long enough time, I feel really weird about talking to them again. I will probably die completely alone and isolated.

Not him, but shit like this made me realize most friendships have no substance to them. Unless we have common interests, are working on a project together and see each other commonly, I just see you as background noise or as someone I only entertain when I need something done.

Most people aren't really good friends anyways. I'm not going to bother myself about them if they aren't worth it.

Captcha

LOL

People play me in fighting games and sometimes add me then we never speak again

i don't like having friends.

Of course I don't interact with them, besides a couple of them giving me a Merry Christmas / happy new year every year.

But you know what I find very interesting? That some of them add to their wishlists / buy games I play. Not just flavor of the month games but older games I had on my library and hadn't played yet. I was the only one who owned the game and suddenly "_____ wants this game" or "______ added GAME to his library".

feels like the only hope of making vidya friends that stick is like an mmo or something. Its so hard to keep up with online friends as an adult, theres no substance to the relationship. barely see my irl friends but a few times a year as is

yeah some people use others as databases for game recommendations, it's not too outlandish

its easy in an mmo you just join a guild, and likely everyone playing is at least 30 years old

Every time in the past I had friends they would contact me and expect me to hang out, so I stopped having friends so I could spend my time how I want and not have to be held hostage in some multiplayer slop for hours on end.

I don't know what happened to me but I forgot how to interact with other people sometime last year and now I get all my socialization from Anon Babble

I really want to reach back out since I have some friends, but I'm so afraid of ghosting everyone again. So I just close myself off completely :(

Well, the fact that they listened to me is outlandish. They could listen to someone, anyone else but they basically went for a game because I played it and gave it a "I like this game because X, Y and Z" review or simply played it for dozens of hours.

Why are you so mad at me?

I unironically cut off an irl friendship of several years for this, the nigger would bother me 24/7 about playing Fortnite and wouldn't leave me alone even if I hung up on him

Most of the people I have added on steam I met elsewhere online or I know IRL. The more people there are the harder it is to keep track of them. I've decked out my steam profile but honestly nobody gives a damn in the slightest.

i would trade all my empty, pointless friends for one true nigga who plays apex legends and total war while we shoot the shit and hate jews

I've never had a Steam fren :(

Same thing except my friend wanted to play LoL for 12 hours a day and he was terrible and would never play the objectives and we would usually spend 10 hours a day losing constantly in ranked, and once we had lost 5-6 ranks in a day we would quit and I would have to play on my own to regain the ranks. I still will never speak to him again and it has been more than 10 years now.

slurs and redditfrog pfp is the easiest way for me to immediately block you. Also I only play single player games anyway

All those "friends" and you don't really know any of them. It's just a number to you.

Been there, done that.

we moved to discord
only use steam to play games now

How do imake steam friends to play games with

I have ZERO steam friends.

I do NOT engage with NEET facebook.

Free yourself from gabens pseudo-myspace for children.

play games or live life; never confuse the two.

I don't really talk to the people I have added but I always found myself to be a magnet when it comes to friend requests whenever I play Vavle games. I'll inevitably get a friend request or two by some random autist every time I join a L4D2 or TF2 match which I'll ignore because I'm schizo and don't trust anybody because I think they'll try scamming/hacking me

Genesis - Foxtrot
Rush - Clockwork Angels
Snoop Dogg - Tha Last Meal
Blur - Parklife

I regularly purge my friends list of anyone I don't remember where I met or with whom I haven't interacted for several years.

thanks G
