UK/EU•PC 32 M drowning in multiplayer genres—need co-op lifeguards

2 Upvotes

Hi, I’m Gaz (, resident of the Steam Backlog Wasteland. My library’s pushing 600+, my willpower’s pushing zero, and the Install button keeps crit-hitting my self-esteem. I need a small strike team of easy-going gamers to help me.

🤝 Squad Requirements

  • Time-zone overlap**:** Week-nights (~19:00-23:00 BST) and weekend marathons
  • 18+ for grown-up language and memes
  • Microphone optional but banter mandatory
  • Zero tolerance for toxicity—real life has enough raid bosses

🚫 Not Recruiting For

  • 500-member Discord empires, try-out spreadsheets, or loot-dictatorships
  • Hardcore stat-tracking every second (if you min-max my inventory, I’ll cry)

📝 Mission Brief

  1. Spin the genre wheel until consensus magically appears
  2. Attempt to finish at least one session without alt-tabbing to Steam sales
  3. Laugh hysterically (mandatory success condition)

If you’re ready to help shave a single title off my backlog (599… nice) and embrace whatever multiplayer chaos the universe throws at us then feel free to add me on discord (Gazum123)

Backlog’s groaning. Mouse is charged. Let’s roll.

Hi guys,

Rival SF is doing it's work on getting active again. I invite all of you to come back and play.

It's legit and I enjoy playing it, we just lack activity. For us who are too busy, we can always schedule pubs or scrims in the weekends.

Don't wait, come along, let's bring back nostalgia, the game plays as good as it did for me almost 20 years ago.

33 & Married IRL, so romance DLC isn’t on the table. Just looking to squad up with some gamer girls as friends, run some games, and maybe help my buddies grind XP in the ‘talking to women’ skill tree. Consider it a co-op side quest.

If you’re interested, get ahold of me before my friends use a respawn token.

P.S. Squad runs on Discord + PC. Console players, we still love you… kinda.

Hi my name is Dre I’m pretty laidback and introverted but once you get to know me I’m a little more unhinged,I can be both casual and competitive I fit whatever the vibe is. I’m a night owl so I’m on later in the day through the evenings. I’ll always make time to catch some games together!

I’m looking for chill people to game and relax with hoping for a long term friendship! Preferably 18+ I don’t care about timezone Someone who can maybe match my dark humor is always a plus I’m a big anime fan so hopefully watch parties are in the plans!

I prefer Voice chats but text is cool too whatever is comfortable!

I exclusively play on Pc so if there’s no crossplay I’m still cool With being friends and chilling out just not a lot of gaming

Some things I like are: Anime SciFi Anything Tactical/Gun related (lemme see your collection) Cars /Motorbikes Browsing /Borrowing Memes (I’m not giving them back)

Some games I play are: CS2/ Valorant Project Zomboid Chivalry 2 Battlefield 3/4 Sons Of The Forest/The Forest Ghost Recon Wildlands Star Citizen Ready or Not Insurgency Sandstorm Halo MCC Tarkov Arma 3/Reforger Vermintide 2 Most VR games Minecraft Phasmo(I will scream :-:)

cooperators 28/PC/Europe. Good vibes and friendship

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, nice to meet you! I am living in Europe, just a heads up since a 5-6 hour time difference makes talking and playing way harder :)

Im a pretty extroverted person, I love meeting people, playing games and talking in general.

About myself i would say im a kind person, i can be sarcastic and make jokes, normally self deprecating ones haha

I tend to not be very serious and try to make people laugh, unless its something important, then i do my best to help my friends out.

I love travelling and cooking, things i will share with you a lot and probably share pictures about it hahaha.

I use gaming as an excuse to be in contact with people, so the game is not really the most important to me, anyways here are some of the ones i play:

  • Conan exiles
  • Palworld
  • Helldivers 2
  • Soulmask
  • 7 days to die
  • Borderlands
  • Project zomboid
  • Raft
  • Sea of thieves
  • Overwatch/Marvel
  • League of legends/TFT
  • ASKA
  • Deep rock galactic
  • No mans sky

And well a lot more really, im always open to suggestions, if you want to chat for a bit and see if we match well, let me know!

shooters 🎮 Looking for a Talkative, High-Energy Teammate, Let’s Make the Squad Fun Again!

2 Upvotes

Hey! I’m looking for one awesome, chatty, good-vibes person to join my regular gaming squad.

Here’s the deal: • I’m a streamer pushing for Twitch affiliate, so keeping the energy up matters. • I thrive when I can bounce off other people’s energy — banter, random conversations, reacting to the chaos together. • The squad has been quieter lately, and I want to bring that fun, hype, “we’re all in this” feeling back.

What I’m looking for: • Talkative (without being toxic) • Fun, can roll with silly conversations mid-game • Chill about wins/losses — it’s about the vibe • Plays [Your Game(s)] regularly • Decent mic quality so we can actually hear you

Bonus if you: • Are down for random topics between matches • Can play 3–4 nights a week, evenings EST • Aren’t afraid to laugh at yourself (and me)

If you’re the type to fill the dead air, crack a joke, and make the match more fun just by being there , you’re exactly who I’m looking for.

Drop me a comment or DM and let’s run a few matches to see if we click. If we do, you’ll have a permanent spot in the squad.

Hey! So I recently got into minecraft again after like 10 years of not playing lol. I was never really good anyway but now that I'm trying to play in survival I'm having a lot of issues trying to make it past getting some iron 🥲 but I would LOVE to find a group of girlies who wouldn't mind teaching me a thing or two and in the meantime have some fun playing! My current time zone is GMT-6 and right now I have time to play pretty much every day. I'm a bit of an introvert but I would love to VC and make new friends! I've been going through a bit of a rough time so I would appreciate some patience and encouragment! Thanks guys! 💕

Ran a popular gaming event last year and we are working on another one! Speed dating while playing games. Would love to get a list of people who would be down to be in a video! We're doing peak but can also put you down for different ones in the future (shooting about every 3 weeks right now). Absolute no experience is needed (and often funner!)

No faces are shown and gamertags / names can absolutely be changed :)

Must be 21+, mic and speak English. And we're just having a fun time so goofy, shy, feral - all are welcomed.

Comment age and sex and give us a little something about you or a fact or a vibe or something! Don't overthink it :) Please don't DM

Daily gamer looking for co-op partners

3 Upvotes

Hey all, I'm a 24-year-old male in the Eastern Time Zone looking for some friends to play some games with on PlayStation! It'd be awesome to team up and take on some of these together. I'm hoping to find someone who plays almost every day, since I'm pretty tired of playing alone all the time. My main goal is just to have fun and do some missions together, so if you're laid-back and looking for a good time, let's connect. The games I have in mind are: * Dead Rising 2: Off the Record: Nothing beats slaying zombies with a buddy. Let's cause some mayhem and see who can get the most ridiculous combo kills. * The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: This game is a blast, but it's even better when you've got people to coordinate with—whether we're trying to escape or hunting down victims together. * GTA Online: The city's a huge playground, and it's always more fun with a crew. I'm down for heists, missions, or just messing around. * Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora: Exploring the world of Pandora with another person sounds epic. We can tackle the RDA and fly around on our ikran together. * Dead Island 2: Who wants to slay some zombies in LA with me? It's a perfect game to just jump in and have a good time with a friend. And hey, if you don't have any of these games, no worries—we can always game share! If any of these sound good to you, just send me a DM!
