I game to escape, but it gets lonely sometimes

Lately I’ve found myself logging into my favorite games not just to grind, but hoping someone says “hi.” Games are my go-to after a long day, but it hits different when there’s someone else on the other side of the screen. Someone who gets the rage quits and the funny fails.

I’m into cozy co-ops, FPS when I’m stressed, and MMOs for those deep-dive nights. I have a mic, decent reflexes, and enough memes to keep the lobby entertained. But more than all that, I just want someone to laugh with, maybe even vent a little between rounds.
