How do you make friends in online games?
i'll be your friend
dremskiy bros...
that happened to me too
it hurts
join randoms
be a bro
say funny shit in chat
send out a friend invite to people who react favorably
if you get turned down, try again
Dremskiy was right fuck people who only hang out when they don't have anything better
You're like 15-20 years too late for that.
If you're a grown ass man in his 20s that shit becomes harder for some reason...
I remember I was 12 and it took minutes for me to buddy up with some degenerate junkie retard who always laughed at my stupid jokes.
Nowadays I don't even want to make a joke. I just play a game, get bored, shut it off, and go do something else.
That enthusiasm to interact and fuck around and just talk my ass off is gone.
I don't know where it went. I guess it was hormones and shit making me super sociable and enthusiastic to just be a teenager.
I'm not a teenager anymore. I have to pay taxes. I have to pay bills. I have to wage away at a job where people hate each other and nobody wants to step on anyone else's shoes unless they know they'd get away with it.
I guess that's the problem.
Adults are all stupid assholes with no sense of humor they might have had as kids. Growing up sucks dick.
i dont know how to make people initiate with me
Be kid
No dad
Mom is always drinking
Doesn't talk to me at all most of the time
My room is a small table, a bed, and a tv with a nintendo gamecube and mario kart
I only have one controller so I can only play the single-player
This is my entire fucking life from grade 4 to 8 and then highschool comes
I don't talk to other kids
They don't talk to me
They can tell there's something wrong with me
I don't know what's wrong with me yet
Teachers speak to my mom
She asks what's wrong
They tell her I have some sort of anti-social disorder or some shit
She tells them to fuck off
Puts me in another school
Teachers don't give a fuck at this school
I'm okay with that until I graduate with no friends
Now 18
My room has a ps4 in 2019
Covid arrives
Covid ends
Read about how people found it horrible
It felt like tuesday to me
What the fuck is the point of friends? I never had any.
As a man I just don't want to get in trouble. It's a thousand times easier for a male to be perceived as creepy/desperate/insane for normal comments or input than it is for women, who get away with fucking murder even though they're way worse in terms of gossip and shit talking behind each other's backs than men ever are.
I'm serious. It's just risk assessment. If you don't bother you can't be charged. Men need to look out for themselves. I don't want to give the assholes around me a chance to ruin my day. It's not worth it, man.
mind control
if I say Hullo to someone they'll heckin cancel me
you are a paranoid schizophrenic utterly brainwashed by Anon Babble fags. a learned helplessness.
Anon unless you're leading your conversations with "nigger" you're fine. Know your audience.
man, I'd feel like such shit if I found out I was the guy who replaced dremskly
im frend
Bros... I have like 3 friends maybe less....
the easiest method would be to play an mmo and join a casual raiding guild
unironically this is the play, the only problem is that YOU should be the guild leader, you have to procure your own group
well i don't have any friends so you tell me.
Why would you need more than that
Would rather have 1 or 2 good friends than 10+ "friends"
humble bragging
You can't make friends anymore because you get banned instantly for being the teeniest bit offensive. No, I don't mean not being able to say nigger nigger nigger. But getting your money stolen because your teammate shittalked you and you dared to say anything back is what's killing online society. Before, that's how you knew someone was worth your time - if they could sling your shit back at you without actually getting mad.
dremskiy....i...
making new friends as a millennial sucks
work / life gets in the way on both sides, or you feel like an awkward ojisan if it's some 20 year old zoomer
I didn't have it as bad as you did, but I know where you're coming from well enough to give you a piece of solid advice: Join the military. You won't like it, you may even fail and get kicked out if you're too much of a spaz, but it will function as a mental/emotional system shock that can kind of re-calibrate your perspective.
The military is THE ticket to uplifting the impoverished. Mentally or materially.
Fuck off, recruiter scum.
fuck off glowie
I don't even know what country he's from. I'd tell a chinaman the same thing if he was a spazzed out retard with no direction in life.
I have like 50 friends in an MMO I play because all I do is crack jokes and be a clown generally but I wish I could just delete them all save for like 5 maybe, Its not that hard.
im frend
damn
I wish I could just delete them all save for like 5 maybe
im frend bros not like this
Bros. I thought we were supposed to be fighting for democracy together
If I count my family I still only have 2 friends (my parents)
Treat them well if they're good people. You (generally) only get 1 pair.
YEah my moral compass disallows me from doing so,
I have some people on my list atm that are like 90% sure I think either died or just quit permanently including some autist (in a motorized wheelchair he told me) who greets me whenever I log in lol.
in video game terms, you can spend resources other than money for things you need, and things that money can't buy you
most friendships are a trade of resources of some sort. Normies can smell what you have to offer and what you want just by the way you talk to them
mostly what you trade is easy access to chemicals your brain needs to feel normal (seratonin, oxytocin, etc)
i think its worth trying to get friends no matter what age you are or how fucked you are.
will you be able to walk up to someone in a bar and befriend them? probably not. but luckily for you social rejects tend to congregate in their own spaces. mostly racist echochambers unfortunately but hey you browse Anon Babble that might be a plus for you
be good at the game.
dont simp or give special attention to anyone claiming to be female
ignore people who do
don't talk about your perceived mental problems or trauma dump like a fag
dont talk to anyone who talks about reddit
be good
don't talk about how good you are
people will gravitate to you.
this happens to me in L4D2.
Join random versus lobby
5 seconds later get kicked
"wtf"
join the same lobby again by chance
some fag types in chat
"friends only. We have to kick you"
just fucking make the lobby private you fucking braindead retards
The worst is when they kick you and they dont even let you know why
This unironically tells a more compelling story than any game has in the past decade.
The secret to life is never getting angry and calmly accepting/moving on when other people treat you poorly
Anger serves no purpose in modern society where you're forbidden from using physical violence to solve problems
There's not much of a point to friends if you're autistic or anti-social. Friends are just a massive time and energy black hole that constantly pile expectations and obligations on you. You statistically raise the chance of being fucked over and betrayed when you make friends. I had lots of friends as a kid in school and they always just wanted shit from me. Waste of time. Gaming is more fun
talk on ventrilo every single day with steam friends for years
stay up until 4am playing css zombie maps
stop talking for a while because school
years later they try and contact me again
block them because they all have normal lives and i can't face telling them i'm still a neet living with parents
matchmaking pretty much killed making friends in online games. you never see the same people again and 99% of the time your teammates are faggots anyway.
join lobby in EDF5-6
Sale so new players, join to help newbies
wait for them to finish their mission
get kicked
Sad
EDF has several different ways to restrict lobbies, from friends only to setting max people
missed the golden age of playing multiplayer games from 2000-2007
now all games are flavor of the month shit with 0 attachment
Sad.
I join the JP lobbies and have fun :)
matchmaking killed making friends
genuine charismalet
same, but I always hop on during sales to play with newbies
im frend
never got invited to a party until i was 24 (some kid's college graduation at his parent's with a casual beer and food)
never invited to my first and last house party until i was 26
This was almost 10 years ago! Being born as a socially retarded autist into a poor household sure was not the right decision
be open to invite new people into our friend group for years
every single time without fail they're the ones self-sabotaging and starting drama
The problem is none of these retards are fucking normal anymore whether they're 20 or 40
i was bullied as a kid into a recluse because no one likes kids so i never use the mic out of habit
internet friends never go out of their way to talk to me, always be the one to initiate contact first
know that if I ever stop reaching out I'll have nobody to talk to
wow you're so cool, can I be your friend?
People are exhausting. I'm entirely burnt out after work. More than happy not having to talk to anyone.
I can tell you’re Brazilian
It is funny how I often see something on top reddit posts for it to end up here few hours later
its chronic socialization and social media.
chinaman
you are an older faggot USA recruiter with that kind of rhetoric.
how about you go back
Why don't you @ op on your post too, huh?
you're the one openly saying that you are a redditor
Matchmaking to make friends is like speed dating.
I make friends easily but they often end up annoying me or asking for favours or advice because I can't shut my mouth and stop talking about different topics so people think I have the answer to all their questions. I have very low tolerance for slow people and burn bridges easily because building new relationships is easy. I'm sometimes told I'm an empathetic person but I don't see it that way. Reading people is easy but that doesn't mean I care about them.
I think I like interactions with business clients the most because they're the least annoying. Paradoxically, people paying you makes them more appreciative of your time than when you help someone for free, ask less stupid questions and behave more like people and less like apes.
In my view, people who complain about not having friends are these exact type of leeches who contribute nothing to the friendship and only take. Ghosting people like that is just like taking out the trash.
When I see sob stories like this I can't help but think of all those losers who act like they're victims but in reality they're ostracized because they have nothing of value to say. Good riddance. Of course you can't say it to people to their faces, only an autist would do that, so it's good to have an outlet on the internet where you can do that without any consequences.
shh
I am no the one re-posting shit from reddit for (you)s and if anything since reddit re-posts always gain so much traction here you might as well accept that you are among closeted redditors
The only people I hang out with are my cousins
Congrats, you're a powerless psychopath, if you pursued an MBA instead of whatever major you're in now, you'd be the CEO of a company and could live in a private island
im frend
you wrote all that gay shit when you could have said "ye im a psycho"
Who do you think you're replying to? Do you know how this site works?
I'm not a psychopath, just a narcissist. I'm not a C-suite but I earn quite a bit as a technical lead and almost double it with consulting. I can't afford a private jet but a nice car and a big house is enough for me. Being greedy isn't good.
I wouldn't get the (You)s if I did that, dummy.
exact type of leeches who contribute nothing to the friendship and only take.
i always initiate and people never initiate back. i think my problem is i always end up talking with popular people, and non popular people are never vocal enough
