I ask again: how the fuck does one make friends in video games?

try finding friends in real life faggot

How do I do that? I've been friendless for 10 years now.

try other hobbies that intersect. I have met my vidya bros in places like MAL or lastfm

Well, in my case they're friends from a WoW guild I was in during WotLK.

It's literally a crapshoot man. Try playing 2 man co-op games?

Odd.

This shouldn't happen.

Is your profile set to private?
Either that or your profile is some moe anime girl / furry mlp nightmare.

Seems like you're a pretty good player but for some reason annoying in chat. If you were playing WoW I would tell you to sign up for a semi hardcore or even hardcore guild. The thing is that you're probably too good to make friends with shitter casuals.

Stop posting anime girls on the internet and go outside.

Join a competitive team
You'll get closer to the community and build,relationships there

Play nerd games like hearts of iron 4 multiplayer or an arma 3 clan server. Most of the games of hearts of iron 4 and arma 3 Will have you required to use discord or TeamSpeak. Just talk and make yourself known and you Will become a regular in no time and maybe make New bros. i'm playing a lot of hearts of iron 4 multiplayer and have made New friends recently. And i'm not any good at all. I play minor nations and help the players who play major nations.

The days when you could find people online to play games with is long gone. You missed it, OP. TF2 was probably the last game that had actual communities.

The key to finding friends in vidya is the same as trying to find friends in any situation: Don't be looking.

If you stumble upon someone who is your nigga, you'll click and that'll be that.

But if you don't, then you probably wouldn't get along anyway.

Anything else is trying to force the friendship forming process and is only gonna end in you losing the friends you thought you made.

Just be yourself, communicate and you'll either make friends or you won't. Any tricks you try and pull to make them will just make you friends that don't stick once they realise you're actually a faggot.

Play team-based games and win matches for your team. Don't win all matches though.

Be supportive of other players and gift things you know they will like.

Crack a joke or two. Bad puns sometimes work. Don't jokingly insult other people though. Self inflicted zingers can be funny at times. Just don't try so hard to be funny and you're set.

>Just be yourself
NEVER give this advice to a Sup Forumsirgin.

Hahaha, you fucking retard. You can't make friends with gamers. They're all autistic manchildren. They can't even understand the concept of friendship.

Is this the new femboi thread?

>afdafsdgfresgrd.jpg
LOL SO RANDOM

No! Please stop following me and hitting on me.

I would say play MMOs but I don't know if people are still as friendly in those games 10 years ago

If you need ADVICE on how to find friends you have some serious issues. I remember i was a regular on a community server and was the most piece of shit asshole call everyone a faggot type person and i still made plenty of friends, i still talk to some after like 4 years have passed. My guess is you're just the most boring person on the planet and nobody likes you because you act like a faggot

>animegirlsniffinghair.jpg uploaded

If they're a retard, being themselves means others know to avoid them and that they don't end up tricking other people into getting attached to them, only to realise later on that they're actually retarded.

Vice versa from the perspective of the retard as well. They don't end up making friends who only like them because they think they aren't retarded, resulting in them forcing themselves to not be themselves until the point where they can no longer keep the lie up and end up losing the friends they did manage to get.

Let the retards draw other retards to each other by acting themselves, so everyone else can interact with each other now that the mentally deficient have each other to occupy themselves.

>>Be supportive of other players and gift things you know they will like.
You're fucking pathetic

post your id im not an erper

What if I am though?

>like to talk about celebrities getting blacked
>no one shares this interest with me
I'll die alone.

Compete

i do this too

its the only reason i go on Sup Forums

Stop being autistic, or playing with literal children, I guess. I made a whole group of friends in a game I play by joining up and talking to them. They're all adults and don't tell people to shut up except as part of banter.

This, someone post lewd discords or post your name if you're lewd~

Go to the gym: exchange a greeting with someone that seems nice, ask for a spot, shoot the shit. Being a complete noob in any hobby is great for conversation because int/vets love to show off what they know.

Go to physical game store: Same shit, just be willing to interact with the very real possibility of falling flat on your face.

Sounds like you play shit games and visit shit servers.

1. Stop asking Sup Forums for advice
2. Put down the controller
3. Go outside

Don't do this or suggest this. We risk it breeding.

I'm your friend, user.

Please yes

Maybe the best advice is this: Don't be fucking autistic.

does wanting to let an user hear you fapping count as lewd?

If you play dota 2 in australia Ill play

Yes but Not what I'm into I'm afraid...

Sounds like you are playing shitty games, get a good taste.

can you please post your profile please

Nacchan#2297
though I won't be able to do anything lewd until a bit later in the day

>its another beta fag looking for dick to bully him thread.

no joke fine a MP game you like a lot and just play with /vg/ or join their group/guild/discord. you're already some shut in with no friends so don't pretend you're better than them, you'll fit right in, don't worry.

Maybe you should own up to the obvious fact that you're a shitty person and nobody anywhere wants anything to do with you?

probably your disgusting attitude
stop thinking you are worth anything
fucking scum

Sounds like you're just annoying as fuck.

It's absolutely easy to make friends just by playing games with people, mic or not, if you're completely fucking terrible.
Even if you ARE terrible, people will still play/talk to you if you're a cool person that's fun to play with or talk to.

I want another user to hear me moan while I fuck myself senseless

maybe you're annoying. i mean seriously, while internet is indeed full of dickheads it sounds incredibly difficult to not find even one vidya buddy while actively trying. try to be less annoying, perhaps even friendly if possible.

why am i even writing this, it's thinly veiled erp thread anyway

Listen, I'll throw you a bone and be your friend. Just post your ID and I, and probably five other dudes, will add you. There is a catch though. You have to have a copy of Magicka to play with me.

Is this thinly veiled ERP+banter thread?

How do you not make friends/meet new bros when you play vidya? Like 7 years ago I used to play on some minecraft server when I was middle school where I'd play this game mode called MineZ which is basically DayZ. Made a lot of friends on there, still talk to them to this day.

If you're dedicated enough (and don't have a shit personality), new bros should come naturally, user.

It's not worth it OP people leave bigger holes in your heart than when before you knew them oh God

Who hurt you user?

>trying to find friends in vidya by being good
That's a mistake waiting to happen. People will get mad over the dumbest shit and make up stupid excuses to get you votekicked. I had a guy purporting I only had 10 hours of playtime today, and I was votekicked. I have 2300 in TF2.
If you want an earnest answer, I recommend just playing video games and seeing how it goes. If you make friends the only goal people will not be drawn to you, just like in real life. People like happy people, so you should enjoy what you choose to do regardless of whether or not you find others doing so.

Only real advice I can give is it just happens naturally. Ain't really a way to make it happen.

>Either that or your profile is some moe anime girl / furry mlp nightmare.

that's what I was thinking, most of my playgroup I got by cleaning their clocks then they added me for help or to tell me how good I am.

OP should try to be less of a faggot

it's impossible. you used to be able to make friends in video games, but it's not like that any more.

>posting an anime girl on 4chin asking how to get friends
turn off pc go out. Or maybe you're just a horrible and weird person. Maybe look into that

>People constantly add you
>Always block because you know they just want you to carry them

If you're an adult there is going to be very few opportunities to do so in spite of all the memers responding. Don't expect anything if you do make attempts. And for god sake don't fall for the "just walk up to random people and start a convo" meme, that one always ends in disaster.

>Thread for making friends ends up turning into gay ERP shit

I read this as "cleaning their cocks".

I want to clean a cock with my tongue.

It's not my fault you don't understand how cool my Undertale Superwholock MLP OC avatar is.

>adding strangers on the internet
>having internet friends over actual friends
You people are missing out on your precious Oxytocin and Vitamin D, which could literally be the leading cause of your depression

Fuck off.

If you're having ERP losers adding you, that meand you have an anime avatar.

Add me user!

Where?

I don't know either. I tried all year but my consensus is that online communities in general are rotten and robbed of their innocence. The positive internet community era from 2000-2005 is forever gone.

Stop playing "competitive" games. They are full of underage screaming kiddies. Play something that actually requires people to stick together like rust, or arma coop scenarios. I actually got to know a guy I kept playing pretty long with in rust. We were both looking for a place to spend the night and met in some cave where I lit a campfire. We decided to stick together for the next days. Kinda became something like friends although we never did anything except play rust together

No, I hurt someone I really needed in my life and by extension hurt myself the most.

What you really need to do is play co-operative games.

>The key to finding friends in vidya is the same as trying to find friends in any situation: Don't be looking

They told me that bullshit about girlfriends and I am still kissless at 27. Fuck you.

>try finding vidya friends in real life
>shitloads of 20-30 year olds at work play vidya
>mostly MW and Battlefield on console
>the only one that has a PC and steam only plays shit like Civ 3 and is an insufferable cunt

tfw befriend a good amount of girls and femboys in games, get to know them really well and then push them away for no reason

I've hurt a decent amount of people this way, I don't know why I do it.

Stop it. Youll get better

>play niche multiplayer games that have small community on discords/forums and chat with people there
>play MMO and find random guild and chat with people there I don't know how relevant it is with modern MMOs tho
And the one that will get you despised on Sup Forums:
>watch some small twitch streamer but not small enough (~100 watchers) and chat with people there.
Protip: if you want mature viewers, find mature streamer.

All of these will get you at least some people to play games with. Some may be stuck playing only one game, but some will gladly jump around.

if any of your posting was true then why are you asking Sup Forums yet again? dumb weeb

Man it's so much harder meeting people online these days. People rarely communicate in games, and when they do, it's generally quick to the point stuff, no bants. On the rare occasions I've had a few good games with people and they send me a friend request, nothing ever comes of it. No one messages me, no one says "hey we played x together, want to play another round?" They just sit in my friends list, as that guy I played a game with once and have never had any contact with since

>posted ID on one of these threads once
>some guy adds me and we end up talking almost daily for months now
>only thing he ever talks about is himself
>conversations would sometimes end if i didn't ask him a follow up question or comment on him but say something about myself
>doesn't even ask me how i'm doing when i ask him
i still like him, he's nice outside of that but i've gotten sick of it. i'm probably going to tell him i don't want to talk to him anymore next time he writes me.
tl/dr: don't add people from Sup Forums

what the fuck, how do you people manage to get added by being good in vidya?

back when I played Dirty bomb I stomped on fucking everyone on a daily basis for a few months but nothing happened

Who is it

>and femboys

What games do they usually play? Id like to meet one.

Post your discord or steam!

i'm not gonna post his ID here...

you never get added for being good - it's a completely baseless myth, in reality you either get shit talked by bitter forever-second-place shitters or retards will call you a cheater

>writes
Autismal blogging German please go.

>tfw the guy you added from these threads used to play vidya and chat but is now caught up in uni and life and barely manages to respond with anything more than short sentences or play vidya

Could have been worse I guess, could have been some anime ERP faggot.

How do you get in Arma clan servers?

It's all private matches

What games?

>Complaining about anime avatars
>On Sup Forums.
Do I need to post the scrubs screencap? C'mon, don't pretend you don't know the one.

Maybe you're going about it wrong. On the few games I'm above average to actually good at, I end up making a lot of friends - as in, people I actively talk to and enjoy playing with, not just names on a list I need to clean out in a month.
I find what works for me is to not be an arrogant cunt about it. Be humble, don't gloat, don't seek validation, just play. If they start sucking your dick about how good they think you are, change the subject. Hell, if you're feeling particularly generous, you might even compliment other players from time to time when you notice them pulling something tricky off or doing something smart.

Post yours.

rude!

Also someone fill me in on this ERP shit, I just lurk and shitpost on Sup Forums while waiting for matches nowadays, I'm outta the loop.

You need to actually go outside and talk to people for it to work.

Do it pussy

Steam multiplayer. I have a nice voice according to the grills/femboys so they add me based on that a lot.

It means I want to be filled up with dick, but since none of these strapping gentlemen are going to hold me down, mating press me and pump me full of their seed, this is as close as it gets.
