The game is a little scarier than what I would normally play. I've finished Resident Evil games but Silent Hill seems to be in a league of its own in terms of its story and scares. So I'm wondering if there's anyone here that would be interested in watching me play from the beginning?
I don't expect that we'll finish the whole thing, and if you get bored you can let me know and that's fine, but there's an incredible story here that I'd love to dive into like some true crime YouTube horror story waiting to be discovered but I'm too much of a scaredy cat to tackle it alone.
Please feel free to message if you're interested in hanging out in vc and exploring the world with me and piecing the puzzle together.

Looking for a friend to hangout with and play CODM If you have skills or not it don't matter add me either ways, ID :- Shadow7777777
Hi, Liz here!! This game has kinda taken over my life, lol. I've even been reading and writing fanfiction for the first time in my life! I'd love to have some friends to talk about this wonderful game with on Discord.
Also, if you're just looking for general friendship, feel free to peep my post history for my other friendship post, if that's more your cup of tea.
Please let me know who your favorite characters or ships are!!
I'm Elizabeth, a game developer in the PNW looking for long-term friends to talk to regularly over Discord.
I love all sorts of games; I have a huge collection of board games, and some of my favorite video games are Monster Hunter and any games by FromSoft. I'd love to hear about your favorite games too!
I'm passionate about music (both listening and composing), with a special appreciation for Porter Robinson. The same goes for films; feel free to ask me about the very embarrassing short film I made back in high school! I don't watch a ton of TV, but I'm a huge Star Trek nerd and I watch some anime here and there.

Anybody here from Ottawa, Canada? Feel free to DM!:)
I have a lot of time to myself for certain reasons at the moment. I'm struggling to keep myself going and find any motivation, but found that Xbox has been a great way to distract myself.
I have social anxiety problems and it is refraining me from doing what would be "normal" day to day things.
Are there any people out there who are chilled and have a twisted sense of humour to play with?
I've mostly been on D2, Overwatch, Forza and some single players like Hollow Knight. The odd bit of Minecraft, and trying to get into Elder Scrolls Online.

M29 Just looking to vent to someone and talk on Xbox and play r6. I’m just not doing to well atm and could use someone to talk to. Prefer another gay guy but I’m open to just playing and talking with whoever if you’re down.
Not that I want to complain or anything but the more I've looked through the posts in this community, the more I realized that a lot of them have little to no upvotes or any comments whatsoever. Hope I'm not the only one who's noticing this
Sorry if this isn't allowed but if it makes anyone feel better then that's a win win :)
Here's the game - It's rated overwhelmingly positive, and is recommended for people who enjoy games like Dwarf fortress, mount and blade, crusader kings etc. It's inspired by all of them and is weirder and more modern than it might look lmao.
Self love is punk rock, take care of yourselves and don't be afraid to dm or comment if you fancy a copy of the game, I'll send the working steam key no questions asked <3
I however am happy to answer any questions!
As above I'm having a very difficult time right now and I'm trying to do something I find fun. I used to be really good but these days I suck, and I just want people I could play with. I'm going out to find a super cheap headset but I'll be around most of the day. I would appreciate it!
I enjoy MMORPGs, simulation, survival, rpgs, jrpgs, hacknslash, adventure, action, arpgs. I don’t like shooters like cod/BRs. I don’t like sports games.
Just looking to talk to some people, potentially game with and make some friends to lessen the depression and loneliness. I’m pretty shy and awkward. It is hard for me to warm up to people so be patient with that.
Preferably would like to talk to people around my age.
I have a cat and she is cute.
I work from home, and I have a lot on my shoulders at the moment. We don't have kids, but I'm definitely the 'breadwinner' for our house.
Whenever I set aside some time to play games (like now..) I get distracted by social media, or the nagging anxiety that I should actually be doing some work.
It's so annoying. Has anyone else experienced this?
There is literally no reason why I shouldn't be playing games at this specific moment, everything else in my life is under control, for now at least.
Any advice?
I don't fight it anymore. I accepted it as a viable presence. We became friends. I am not swayed around that much anymore.
In that sense I might be off topic but nevertheless and if by any chance anybody is looking for a zero pressure gameplay in some dark and quiet game around utc+4, let me know.
Currently feels like rolling in any semi-decent wow private server to slowly level and remember the past. Plus always ready to jump on guild wars [1] for anything. Grim Dawn. Last Epoch... who knows what. You get the gist.
the loss of one of my friends is getting to me, and it’s alienating my other friends because I just can’t force myself to play the games they want to play and they’re not exactly people I can just talk about these issues with. The weekend and the beginning of this week just a wave a loneliness hits me and im unsure how to deal with it. I just don’t feel a great connection with people anymore and i’m hoping it’s temporary
Depression is eating me alive. Gaming used to be of joy and pleasure, then it turned to an escape and now the consoles/pc are catching dust, much like the regions in one's brain and life itself. Brought starfield, only to catch migraines and feeling even more of a husk and a gaping void of numbness & despair. It's a privilege to be able to game and yet I feel even more of a burden because of it and the lack of doing it, it's become more of a chore and I feel guilty.
I'm already doing terrible unwell(depression, anxiety ashamedly psychosis and other health issues) currently and this makes it even worse. I can't do much, I'm always tired, stressed, easily triggered, scattered brained and low in mood. Gaming has lost its flair for me, turning 30 and Im not advancing in any meaningful way.
Wish I could disappear into a game. How sardonic.
Hey guys,
As per the title, I'm struggling to do much of anything these days. Engaging in hobbies, being productive, etc. Just kind of sitting around, thinking of doing stuff but not actually doing it. Can anyone relate? I'm also struggling with OCD, so all in all, things are tough lately.
I'd like some people to chat with while I work on getting out of this funk. Whether it's small talk or something a bit deeper, I'd appreciate it. Maybe we could add each other on steam/playstation when I'm feeling up to gaming again?
Thanks for reading.
Hopefully something like dark souls or destiny or that game it takes two.but man is dark souls pricey its still 60 bucks.
Hello. I suffer from anxiety and depression and will spend hours just sat at my computer doing nothing in particular. A lot of the time I experience a wave of exhaustion when opening a game and quit after two minutes, or a complete lack of interest in anything. How do you push past that and engage with your gaming hobby? I would like to do something other than stare at my Steam library.
I'm from Mexico. I live near Arizona, to give you an idea about the lag. I don't care if you are from the other side of the world.
Looking for someone >30yo to play Overwatch with or you can introduce me to a different game if you want.
I watch a lot of TV. I have a dog. That's it.
As the title says looking for friends not for playing time to time but preferably everyday. I play all sorts of games from RPGs to FPS. I also do not mind playing new games. Im usually on during the evenings and free till late mornings these days(got nothing better to do). I do also enjoy just talking,watching shows,movies or anime. I also dont mind people from different regions as long as we get along i can match my schedule with yours.
The games i currently have downloaded are
League of Legends,Warframe,Valorant,Fortnite,Dead by Daylight,Phasmophobia,Raft
I can also buy new games if they are reasonably priced. If you are looking for something similar as I am do add me on discord and lets talk more!

About me: I'm a bit depressed and introverted, so I'm not good with groups or discord servers. Looking for someone to play, discuss games and technology. I make stupid Youtube videos, sometimes code games with Unity, interested in space and general science. I'm available throughout most of the day. Love cats and various music. I'm fine with either dark humour or being chill, as long as you're not toxic.
Leave your discord/steam in the comments or PM me and I'll add you immediately :)
I feel at this point like I have no one that I can fully open up to anymore and I just needs some friends. It's been really hard since I got out last year and I play all sorts of games so I am down for pretty much whatever
Bought Tears of The Kingdom, have struggled to put even a single hour into it.
It just feels like a chore, instead of something fun to play.
I just can't be bothered to even put the time in to play it, whereas with Breath of The Wild on launch day, I was playing for nearly three days straight on my Wii U.
Like the title says I'm 33 and struggle with a whole host of wonderful and amazing mental health problems. Problems is I moved with my parents (bc I suck at adulting) and don't have friends, am not sure how to make them (tiny town) and I'd just like to have some people who'd be like hey Smishmortion is on! Let's get the party Rolling. Anyway. If you do want to. Dm me. Thanks!!
I’m lvl 30 depressed neurospicy being. Safe place for mental health, disability and LGBTQ+ people :) Also, looking for friends only.
I don’t know how to describe myself; it takes time for me to warm up for new people, but I still want to make new friends. I’m open, kinda a bit over-sharer sometimes and like to info dump, but I’m also always there for you if you need unconditional friendship and support.
My hobbies and interests include things such as gaming, dogs, space, art, true crime and audiobooks. I also enjoy outdoorsy life and hiking with my doggies, geocaching and I’ve planned on starting fossil hunting next summer.
So, definitely not nerdy at all…
I am open to almost any way to keep contact from social media to more private ways. Heck, I will even write letters if that’s what you prefer.
