ironically the game i've enjoyed most is deep rock galactic, where the whole schtick is that you just pop into missions with random people and communicate almost solely via pointing at things and shouting about minerals.

every single time i've been in a voice call with someone online it has been absurdly uncomfortable and i've just wanted to jump out of my skin and run away, i cannot fathom how people even tolerate it.

Rock and roll and stone, brother.

Got to have the right kind of game to foster that kind of online friendship. Talking in game is generally the precursor to going to a discord. DRG and your example miss that step

DRG is the perfect game for my friends to remain connected because it's low stakes and fun. We can shoot the shit.

Right, but I'm talking in the context of meeting new people, not maintaining current ones.

Yeah I don't mind voice calls with people I know well or in game chat, but I've had friends that could just pop into a VC on like the apex discord to find teammates and that idea just fills me with so much dread lmao
