Alexander. Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 Are you okay with talking to fellow gamers you don't know in real life? If so, which method of connection do you feel most comfortable with? Typing? VoIP? Which is your primary choice of communication? For example, Is it Discord, Skype, or Teamspeak?
The Blackangel Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 That is a moot point for me. I don't talk to people unless I'm forced to. Posting on this forum is the closest I come to talking to people when it comes to gaming. I do have a friend that I have emailed with for a while. Initially we matched due to our love of gaming, but have clicked on other topics. So while it was initially gaming that got us talking, we became friends on life views and experiences. I will say that it feels weird as fuck to have someone that I can call a friend. I've never been able to do that before.
Kane99 Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 Yeah I don't usually talk to people online. I tend to stay in a party by myself. Or, if I do game, it's usually with my friends. I don't like meeting new people on games anyway. Had to deal with too much of the annoying lobbies back in the day. Especially call of duty, which was full of people saying idiotic stuff.
AndreiMirfi Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 I love to talk to people, but I always take care before getting with them on a call.
m76 Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Part of the reason I don't game online is because I can't be bothered to talk to strangers. But if I must I prefer typing over voice. I don't even have a mic, and I'll never get one for my PC. I prefer single player games. No chance for NPCs to try and chat you up. Edited September 18, 2020 by m76
skyfire Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 In real life? I don't think so. But I can freely talk to anyone in virtual circle or say forum or even the chat grooup like discord or so. In real life I avoid giving this much personal information.
Patrik Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 I see it completely fine, at the end, nobody is going to eat you :D, i usually start chatting with people i don't know before getting into a voice chat with them
Empire Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 If you are the age of 1 to 13 years old then talking to strangers is a bad idea and you break your own mums of all rules 😛 hear that al the time 😛 But if you work in retail and you have to serve people then talking to strangers is on going everyday, not a big deal. Meet now people that way. MAybe get a girl to have fun with in bed 😛
Heatman Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 As far as I'm concerned, I don't really have any issues with talking to anyone be it a fellow gamer or just a random person as long as there is something that linked us up to start with. I actually like getting along with lots of gaming folks on Discord.
killamch89 Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 I mean you are talking to us now and you don't know any of us in real life and you talk to us perfectly fine. Ultimately, there's not a lot of harm that usually comes from interacting with people in-game.

Exactly, it's only when you get into talks with a toxic fellow online, you can easily know that almost immediately.

Yeah - it's usually some 12 yr old telling you about your mom and cursing repetitively or the basement dweller who has no life so acts high and mighty in-game.

Exactly, it's why when I happen to bump into such set of people online, I know exactly already how to deal with them and it's to 💯% ignore them.
