Having friends is for normalfags.

>>>/r9k/

Pretend to be a girl or embrace your latent thirst for cucks and be a trap.

Goddammit I meant cocks

>>>/hell/

I can be your friend.

b-but you're Jewish

Go back to tumblr, Rera

Having friends wastes time.

Do more productive things like grinding levels or purchasing that new gear. If anybody tries to be your friend, immediately push them away.

Play casual garbage and join some locally based group.
Personally I'd never want to be friends with those types of people.
I'd rather not fraternize with the people who play GO, LoL and OW as they don't have the ability to hold a conversation.
All they do is go home and play their competitive trash day after day with every story boiling down to

insult people then apologize to them
it's how I made most of my online boyfriends

On a side note i actually made a couple friends while pretending to play Pokemon GO (was actually playing Love Plus on Drastic lel) but since i still remember all the basic shit about pokes from gen 1-2 i maintained a conversation with people for a while before switching to other games or animays. I was surprised these guys seemed like total normalfags but they are pretty cool actually, i guess it all boils down to not be antisocial i guess, even though i know it's really hard

Does anyone wanna play a game together?

That's how I make IRL girlfriends.

No idea, I have been a a couple of guilds / clans that have had meet-ups but I have never been to one.

You know it'd be really awkward.

nobody likes jews
not even jews, i am not joking

the few 4chan meet ups i went to back then were alright

Be yourself.

You and i both know that does not work anonymous
Not even with your parents

Drink a shitload of caffine and start fucking with people

By cybering for free stuff.

It does if you're actually good at games, or if you have good taste in things, or if you are funny

If you aren't a person that can interact with people well then fake it. Literally act like the personality you want to be and gradually you will condition yourself to be that person. Funny takes practice, and also draws on experience. The more different shit you do in life the more creative you can get. If you're literally a fat neckbeard that does nothing all day go do things that are free. Try more games, watch more shows you wouldn't normally do, go wandering around outside at weird hours (carry a gun) go cycling (because it's easier to start than running) try hiking, then get fit and try rock climbing. Draw on life experience to fuel creativity.


Play team based games that are actually good, and invite players you enjoy playing with to more games. If you actually enjoy talking with them, try other games with them. Find a game you like, make a thread about it, play with some faggots. Try online pen and paper gaming. DO SHIT.

Making friends requires an active interest in doing shit. If you are passionate about games that aren't solo, you will make friends with other people passionate about games if you try. If you don't really care about games, then you won't. The easiest way to make friends is through shared hobbies. These are also usually the best friends.

Or get drunk. I've had people add me on Uplay a lot whenever I play R6: Siege and its companion drinking game I make up as I go along

befriend stoners
besides dude wee lmao they are actually alright people
in fact i got my dick sucked for 3 hours by one of them

Story?

Yes, drinking helps if you're extremely uncomfortable talking to people, but don't get so drunk that you become shit at the game. Since most of the introverts that browse these kinds of places don't drink, don't start hard. Start with beer. Or if you don't like beer, since most of it is piss, start with things like cider or sours. Going straight for the hard liquor is what idiot schoolkid shits do because they think it makes them cool. Drinking does not make you cool. Try it, try many things, continue if you enjoy them. Don't just find something you like, once you find something look at similar things and try them. There are hundreds of different kinds of beers, ciders, etc. that seem intimidating at first, but the fastest way to learn is just try one. And don't be one of those faggots that starts using the "professional" terms like mouthfeel, etc. That just makes you look like a douche.

i'm not very good with this but okay then

Pretty sad user all in all.

we were both degenerates, she was a good fit for me
i just wish i could find her nowadays and then life wouldn't be sad

Shut up mark, you're a kike. No one wants that in a friend.

...

Mark's mom doesn't even love him because he's too big of an autist

I kinda want a cute trap friend. Not for lewd, but because those can be pretty friendly and sweet and I like that. No homo.

Some of them are extremely friendly to the point of being creepy (frequent use of ! and ~) and some are just volatile
Careful what you wish for

I actually like that (not the volatile thing though)

I made a few friends through fighting games. Organise to play locally and there you go. Plus it's not casual garbage, just don't play smash and they won't be autists, either.

Actually I dislike most of them.

That's how.

you can't make friends by playing video games

I had a chance but I ended up never putting ay effort in so we stopped talking to eachother.

Fuck off Sperit

by posting more akarin

There is no hope for me. I am already dead.

...

And you fags actually believe you're better than reddit.

...

Nobody cares, enjoy your ban for replying to a rugga thread.

In the old days, all you had to do was ask someone for their IRC, AIM or MSN sn or something and they'd pretty much always give it to you. You then message them through mIRC or AIM or MSN messenger anytime you want to play together. Too bad kids these days are too autistic for that.

By checking digits.

Sometimes I get the idea of coding my own videogame just so I can make a world full of detailed simulated people that lead their lives according to their dreams and desires, hopes and dreams.
The more complex they are, the more concepts they "understand" and the higher level of conversation you can have with them.
Given enough complexity and simulation, you could have very interesting conversations, emotional even.

For instance, just about any Elder Scrolls game features a fuckton of NPC's. But you can't talk with them about your taste in food or the nearby landscape, you can't even make dastardly plots that they agree with or hate you for them. All they are capable of doing is follow a very simple and generic script.

This is what The Sims was supposed to be for me, but it's so stupidly shallow I hate it.

More like they don't want to be followed by autistic fags that will keep pestering them 24/7 for irrelevant shit and to play horrible games with.
Have you ever seen the current generation? Talked with them? Would you ever want to actually befriend any of them?

Besides, if someone asks you for those contacts nowdays, it's most likely gonna be for a Nigerian Prince scam, ads or it will end up in Craigs list.

People are too afraid of just giving that shit out but it's not like they don't have more than enough reasons to be afraid.

In warband you have to learn poems from a traveling bard and then recite them to the lady you want to woo.

It isn't hard user.

I met all my current friends through TF2 directly or indirectly. I'm helping one with gamedev and drawing porn for the other, it's as easy as having a porn spray on and having people add you asking for more and complimenting your tastes.

But are they actually your friends though?

I thought local guilds were just in anime/The Guild. I've never seen any, but I really only play Guild Wars 1.

Anyways, I used to make friends all the time playing with PUGs and chatting in towns. Nowadays, nobody wants to PUG or have friendly conversation outside of trading or coordinating an area. This started around 2013. I think it's the massive influx of normalfags on the internet or something. Used to, everyone in games was awkward and nerdy. Communities have totally changed now. Even nostalgia-based games where you would assume all the long-time gamers would end up like Old School RuneScape just has lame antisocial people who don't want to play with you. Online gaming has gotten so lonely. I just wanna play with friends like I used to.

I blame iPhones' "internet for normal people" marketing, the recent mainstreamification of gaming, and John Stumme.

10 years ago I taught random people on Gmod spacebuild servers how to use the mod and became friends with a guy who looked up to me. Nowadays he composes music for my game and generally is a cool friend.

A few months ago we spent a whole day building a spaceship and exploring the surrounding solar system in one of the spacebuild maps. It was full of mysteries, secrets and there was an object on most planets we had to gather up to get to the end of the universe. Comfy shit.

So, OP… Be social, friendly and be yourself and you'll draw similar people to you.

Easy don't ever make friends in games because you will never play again with them.

Instead make friends with anons here who likes to play the same game with you, you will end up hanging more with those anons than people you meet online on your own. Unless you have the same hobbies.

you make a steam friends thread and get banned you fucking faggot

I remenber a few years ago when I played in a private WoW server. My brother met some Israeli guy in Orzimmar and they chatted for a bit about lots of shit, mostly politics and economics.
They even got to try a few in-game mechanics to show off or test stuff, like the Rocket Boots from engineering.

In that server, I once backstabbed some Druid nelf that was much higher level than me, forcing me to Vanish.
Then I spent a while around, repeating everytime she let her guard down, and she'd morph to panther and look around for me for a bit.
At some point she whispered to me :"Are we dating? :3"
It was really cute, but it wasn't meant to be. Undead Rogues are a one-edged blade.

They invite me to games, we talk through text chat sometimes. I could engage them more and become good friends if I wanted. I prefer not to get too involved now with people I don't know IRL

I know that feel user, I wish we could go back to how it was. I think it's a combination of a lot of things that caused it

It's like you faggots don't know how to socialize ;)

You made a friend. What's wrong?

You just gotta find the right game, user. Niche MMOs have the best communities because of that.
Try Space Station 13 (we have a server here, find the thread) or even better, Neocron (also a thread up).
Those usually have a smaller and tighter playerbase composed of neckbeards and people with no life that enjoy talking and memeing around instead of just playing like an autist.

Nice bait.

>make a tumblr
>make more friends
>keep older friends

good times

No it didn't, it started around 2009. The group finder and then later the raid finder both helped to destroy what remained of the community of the game, no longer did you have to actually talk to people to get into groups, so now any fucking mutant would get into groups with other people who they didn't have a common language with, especially with cross realm dungeons.


That doesn't mean it always worked that way, because you always got PUGs with the primadonnas who thought they were hot shit because they were either a healer or a tank, both of which were a little harder to come by because 99% of people wanted to be DPS, so they thought they were downright invaluable and wanted to start shit always.

Cataclysm killed the game for me moreso than the group finder, though. But the damage had already been done and I was starting to hate the game, and after Pandaria came out, that was the end of my time with the game.

I can't even play private servers anymore, I actively hate the game in all of its states. Fuck that bullshit game.

I know what you mean, a lot of servers are really fucking awfull and the game itself is a massive drain on you that makes the most calm individual a ball of rage.
However, there are a few nice servers where you can have casual fun.
Just search the public ones on byond, avoid the first ones (hippie and goon shit) and the bottom ones. Hyperia or something was a very comfy one.

...

tbh I get so many friend requests when I do talk that I try not to use the mic anymore

I'm not entirely sure why, but it might have something to do with the dominance I carry with my speech, the kind of humor I employ, and how accepting I am of strange occurrences.

just talk. you'll get better with it over time. I've had around a decade of talking in games behind me, so I've got experience, but you can get that experience too. I still remember the first time I talked online. I think it was counter strike, or TF. I was so scared that it took me about 2 days to pull the stop out of my throat and say much more than "hi"
didn't last much longer than that. but you just gotta talk

not gonna work for ya

I want to be in 2007 again, but at least I still have my friends.

Tried making friends online, but they always turn out to be either memetards, or they just have shit opinions.

where do you think you are gay boi

>>>/4am/

Cobraaaaa, you should make more levels, man.

that day the le gaymer club in our school died and the people who used to be part of it stopped talking to me

Social interaction in video games beyond calling someone a dumb faggot while he calls you a dumb faggot is for fucking normalfags.

I'll be your friend. I'll go ahead and be your filthy breeding sow too.

Being a few years out of high school, I'm pretty the people you call friends are really just people you saw 5 times a day.
There's no formula or reason to making friends, just keep talking to the same person over and over again. Eventually you'll both be buddies.

You aren't even an elf idiot.

Pose as a girl on the internet, usually in games with voice chat so they are more inclined to believe. Develope a relationship with other lonely neet gamers and when prompted, photoshop a picture or "nude" together using different pictures so they cant be backwards searched on google. Think of it as playing tic tac toe, except your playing 4d chess, have multiple relationships and mooch off of all of them, make sure to fight with them once in a while BUT always come back after a day at most, this makes it seem you want him.

Its like having all the friends in the world but your a two faced psychopath that liked to watch people spiral into depression.

Shutup faggot you don't know me. I'm a slutty she-elf if I say so.

Elf-tits or GTFO

POINTY EARS OR GTFO
