32yo trans woman looking for friends

I just bought a mid-range gaming laptop that can run the newest games on lower settings, or older games on higher settings. My steam library is mostly single player games. The only online games I have right now are Marvel Rivals, Overwatch 2, Diablo 4, and Monster Hunter: Rise. I also have a couple of multiplayer iOS games like Sky: Children of the Light, Diablo Immortal, Warframe, Villagers & Heroes. But I would rather buy a PC game I don’t have yet (like Dune: Awakening) than play any iOS games. What I’m saying is that I’d like to get into whatever games you’re into, at least once I get some money and can afford to add to my library (hopefully within the next week or two). If you’re into one of the games I’ve listed that’s a bonus.

Mainly I am looking for a friend or friends. Someone I can talk to about life, vent with, get to know, and fall on in hard times. A little about me:

I am just now going back to school to become an RN. I have schizophrenia and currently live off disability (but this is mainly irrelevant). I’m a writer, currently working on my second book. I’m a bit artsy and like to illustrate my own characters. I’m a pet person in general and have a cat right now. I’m very friendly towards the furry community and open minded in general. I used to be vegetarian for a long time but started eating meat again only for nutritional reasons. As far as taste in things: I’m more of a city person and very liberal, but currently living in a conservative rural community, which has its struggles. I mostly like fantasy and sci-fi video games but am willing to branch out. I also like fantasy and sci-fi in general. Some of my favorite movies are things like Bladerunner and Ghost in the Shell.

I would like to bond with someone over Discord VC (even though I am dysphoric about my voice and haven’t started voice therapy), texts, playing online video games, and just getting to know each other and having someone to talk to in these hard times. I am pretty shy in real life but not so much on the internet, especially with direct messages. I’m also not looking for t4t or anything romantic in nature. Just a platonic friendship. I am not a friend collector by any means. I like having just one or two best friends that I can talk to throughout the day. If it sounds like we would be a good match hit me up. Please no flakes or trolls.
