I’ve been playing games for almost 3 decades and I’ve owned almost every Xbox, so the online factor is there and overall easily accessible but I just never got this community feel I read in some places, my most played games are probably WWE 2k14 and Tekken 7 and 8, yet I’ve never interacted with anyone, I don’t have a headset and I don’t wanna hear voice or chat while playing though, it just distracts me and I despise losing, but apparently the people connect, make friends and a few even found love while playing their favourite game.

I envy them.

Is like the only hobby I have and tbh it isolated me even more from getting any type of affection or contact.

Some people mention discord but that awful app is terrible plus people act weird there, is like the game is very secondary there and just post cringe stuff instead.

    I don’t make friends gaming personally, but I’m pretty sure its literally as easy as “hey, wanna stay as a group” -> “yo I’m getting off, lemme add you guys lets play again sometime” -> “yo wanna queue?” -> repeat until someone says "hey wanna just add me on discord’ -> appropriately determine further shared interests or determine you dont wanna go any further.

    But you do have to be friendly and yourself during gameplay.
