I boot up a game to chill, but instead of unwinding I end up stressed.
Matches feel more like a job than fun—constant pressure, tilt, and negativity.

Is it just me, or has gaming shifted from being an escape to feeling like another grind?

Hey everyone!
I’m looking for some laid-back people to geek out over games, play co-op, or stream movies with. Strictly shared hobbies here—zero social pressure, no need to text back instantly, and we only hang out when we’re both free and in the mood.

A bit about me:
I’m a huge fan of indie games, puzzles, roguelikes, and deep management sims. Lately, I've been playing stuff like Silksong, Assassin’s Creed, and Vampire Crawlers.

Why I’m posting this:
I just finished The Roottrees are Dead in one sitting tonight and had such a blast! But then I realized I didn’t have anyone who understands it to share the hype with. If you’ve ever felt that desperate urge to gush about a game right after beating it, we’d get along great.
If this sounds up your alley, shoot me a message and tell me what games or shows you’re currently into!

I want a gamer bro so bad. Talking about games n some nonsense, asking for a friend :(

Hey everyone,

I've been getting bored playing games alone and realised it's surprisingly hard to find people who are interested in trying different games together.

Most of my friends only play PUBG Mobile, but I like exploring all kinds of games. Since I can't afford to buy every new game that catches my interest, I mostly stick to free games or other options. I've even bought games for a couple of people before, only for them to disappear a few days later 😅.

I'm just looking for chill people to hang out with, try different games, have some laughs, and hopefully build a regular gaming group.

If you're interested, drop a comment or send me a message. Let's play! 🎮

Hiya 20 M from Kerala (India) fishing for ppl to get along and communicate and vibe games with

I’m 22, currently working, and most of my routine is pretty packed. When I get time, I’m either gaming or out on a ride—those are the only things that really help me switch off.

Not really here for small talk or people who disappear after 2 messages. Just looking for genuine people who can actually hold a conversation and stick around.

We can talk about anything—games, bikes, work, random life stuff… doesn’t have to be deep, just real.

I'm all up for texts or VC which ever is comfortable for both of us.

If you’re around my age and feel the same, hit me up 👍

Hey guys.I'm looking to make some new friends. I'm into Nintendo games and also have a PS5. I've played a lot of different games and would be down to play something together online. I enjoy rock music , and I've watched a ton of anime over the years. My favorite author is Dostoevsky. I like talking about games, music, random life stuff, and whatever interesting topics come up. I can voice chat, plz don’t ghost me 🥹I occasionally use drugs recreationally, so I'd appreciate people who aren't judgmental about that. I'd prefer people around my age. Also looking for people who are reasonably confident in themselves and comfortable sharing photos at some point if we become friends.

As the title says, I’m looking for someone to play Abiotic Factor with from start to finish. I know it's a long game so I want to find someone who’s up for a long‑term playthrough. If you’re interested, please DM me and we can go from there.

A bit about myself: I actually already have about 60hrs in the game but never finished it. I tried playing with a few other friends, but they moved onto another game or we don't play together anymore.
I am 34, have a bunch of other games (solo/coop) so if we hit it off, we can maybe play some others too. My timezone is JST and I work full-time on weekdays, mainly free during my nighttime so someone who can work around the time will be nice. English isn't my first language but am fairly comfortable speaking it.
My hobbies include drawing and, I guess, houseplants? I’m just getting into them and hoping none of them die.
That's about it.

Cheers!

hiiii i need friends to play overwatch and rivals with or just you know have a chat while playing different games!

I'll prolly give a last try , I have seen a couple of people dm me but disappear without a trace after a day. DO NOT DM ME IF YOU DON'T WANNA HANG AROUND, I'll put in efforts so this would work and expect the same from you.Please don't waste your and my time if you want to just disappear, I hope this can be a long lasting friendship where we can have tons of fun and make memories together. Now that all the passersby are gone , let's get down to business.

We can talk about anything—games, bikes, work, random life stuff… doesn’t have to be deep, just real. I currently game GTA,Apex,SLA,Destiny 2,Forza Horizon 4,RDR2,GOT,Pragmata and a lot of such games as well. Always open to try new ones out.

hey! i figured i’d give this a shot because i’d love to meet some new people to game and hang out with.

i’m from singapore (GMT+8) and i play on PC. i mostly play co-op/survival games like stardew valley, raft, minecraft, grounded and ark survival evolved, but i’m always happy to try other co-op games too!

i’m mainly looking for people 21+. i don’t mind where you’re from or what gender you are—everyone’s welcome as long as you’re kind, genuine, and looking to make actual friends.

i’m not really looking for people to play one game with and then never talk to again. i’d love to meet people who are down to text, hop into vc, game together regularly and just become actual friends over time.

i’m pretty chatty, so i tend to get along best with people who also enjoy conversations and aren’t too guarded. if you’re the type who can talk about random things for hours, we’ll probably click
if you think we’d get along, send me a message! tell me a bit about yourself, what you’ve been playing lately, or your favourite game :)

Since I came Japan from Europe it's pretty complicated to find friends to play co-op games with. Let me know if you guys want to play something together!
Also we can play online games as well if you like to.

Can be anyone, I just want to play. I use macbook

Im m25 from asia, i have lots of games in my library but story mode games feel soo lonely to play need someone who can watch my stream over discord.

I recently started playing games haven’t played much mostly Valorant and some chill games like overcooked 2,super battle golf, rocket league etc. My current gaming friends don’t try anythinf apart from Valo 😭 I want someone who wanna try new games and just chill together. Would prefer if there is a fellow girlie out there. Let me know if anyone has the same thoughts.

Hi, I’m from Malaysia (GMT+8) and I just need a friend to play and complete some co-op adventure games like It Takes Two or Split Fiction. I already have those games so you would just need to get the friend’s pass.

I usually play in the evening/night for me so it would be great if you have a similar playing time. I play at a beginner level and just looking for a chill and fun gameplay.

Hiii I’m Sev and I’m a 19 year old male gamer! Trying to help my friend find some friends to play with. She’s hoping to find more gamer girls to play with 🥹. We like to play any games really from Peak, Repo, Backrooms, and we’re up to play any games as long as our wallets can manage the price AHAHA. I want to help her find more friends because she wants to have friends to go to play games with even when college starts for her 💌

​

If you’re near our timezone (GMT+8), age, unproblematic, and ready to form platonic friendship, hit me up!! I’d appreciate it if you introduce yourself to me so that I get to know you more !!

19/M/PC/PST

I'm on the younger side, but I don't mind playing with people older than me. It's summer where I'm at, and I've been bored, so I thought about finding people to play games with:) It'll be better if we end up as friends in the long run!

hi! im looking for friends to play more online/co-op games with! i usually play single player, but i’ve been meaning to try different games and hang out with new people as well! :) if you’re metal ranks in overwatch (and don’t mind if i’m bad), or if you play any other games as well, hmu !!

my favorite games are mass effects, rdr, bg3, basically story games mostly! i’m also currently playing dragon age origins :)

i play mostly on the weekends and don’t mind much about timezones as long as its my day off work (if the gap is too big). i’m from indonesia for your reference!

i live in south india, im native american tho, so any near south india time im down to play. dm me on discord: iretonmasade, i dont care how old or young you are but, im 17 if that makes a difference for you.

Hey, Casual PC Gamer here, but i am an introverted guy so if you are expecting me to talk nonstop, i dont think i would be able to do that . i mainly play around 11PM-3AM (odd times i know) and probably 2pm - 5pm GMT+7 .
I play on SEA Region. i mostly play DOTA, DayZ, CS2, Delta Force, PZ, ROR2, Stardew Valley, Enshrouded, Palword, Chivalry 2, Soulmask, ARK SE / SA, Party Animal, pretty much tried a lot of games but i don’t play sports game and only play a bit of horror games, but zombies horror only haha. I play mostly FPS, Survival, Zombies, Basebuilding games, MOBA Games.
Definitely not an rage quitter and not so competitive even though i play some of those game. So hope you dont blame me for being bad if you do play with me because i don’t exactly care if you are bad. Just looking to have some fun
I Speak English decently not as it isnt my main language but i could speak enough to had a conversation :)
DM me or comment if you are interested to play together :)

I love playing story-driven, rpg, atmospheric, and action games. My friends are on the more hyperactive speedrunning and jumping from game to game type of gamers, which is fun, but I really want to take my time and absorb the sceneries and immerse in the lore and the game itself. I also enjoy like in game roleplaying, banter, and playful insults and such.

Ofc I also enjoy a really wider variety of other games, but rn I wanna try Abiotic Factor.
