It feels like I am talking to people who are caricatures. Nobody here has ever really engaged in becoming my friend.
I always found this odd.

Have you actively engaged in trying to become friends with anyone?

Isnt that the appeal of PotD, though?

Besides, you gotta PM those that you actually like sometimes.

Yea, nobody will let me into the PotD discord server despite asking multiple times.
A lot of the issues stem from crappy things I've done in the past and certain individuals refusing to understand that people change over time.

There isn't a PotD discord, it was a discord that had some PotDers in it.
I don't even think that thing is active anymore, there was only, like, 4 people who talked.

You're kind of a wet blanket, tbh

Not trying to be a dick but if any time someone brings up a current video game or show or new music and your response is "meh it's not anime" or "It's not Trails of Cold Steel so I'm not interested" or "Who?" then no one is going to care to have a conversation with you about their interests.

Would it kill you to get out of your own bubble for five minutes and experience things you don't know about? Even if you don't like something, instead of shitting on it, say something like "It was interesting, reminded me of (this)" and try to relate it to your own interests. That's how you find what you have in common with people.

Also, you've been offered a lot of advice on this board over the years and seem resistant to utilizing any of it. Work on yourself. You don't seem like a bad dude but your personality needs some work. Get out of your own head and open yourself up to new experiences, even if they seem lame to you. You might surprise yourself

Not the PotD discord.

I've been part of a GameFAQs-originated Discord since Discord was a new thing (and a Steam group before that). Best "community" I've been apart of since the Forum/MSN days. I'm also part of a PoE discord (not the main one, a smaller one) and was part of a STO one (probably the 2nd most active one I posted in), but I recently left that one.

Discord is at least marginally better than the soulless husk that is most social media (e.g. reddit) where nobody wants to know you or be your friend.

Honestly can't tell half of the time if certain PotDers like me. I generally get along well with everyone.

I mean, this is more to the fact that I don't really like / play video games anymore. I spend like 12 hours a day working, and the rest reading reddit, watching Youtube, posting on PotD, and then I'll put some time into PoE every once in a while. I don't disclose all of my interests, because nobody ever talks about them (I've recently been trying to get back into Yugioh, at least from the perspective that I like to watch videos on the subject)

Like Mead says, it's easier than ever to find a group that shares your interests. I have zero interest in Yugioh, but I used to play MtG and still play card-based video games so if you made a topic about Yugioh I might comment by saying "I've never played it, but I've played Hand of Fate, Slay the Spire, Children of the Zodiarc, etc" and try to get a back-and-forth with you on games in a similar vein

That's kind of funny. Same here, yet there were a few users I have engaged in some social friendliness with during the past decade

I don't have a problem being friends with people, it's just that currently, that downness has not been present

therefore I'm usually just half-trolling around

since I'm a halfbreed

Oh it's not about if I like you. It's a group consensus and I don't think anyone has an issue with you. Just don't talk about things we discuss there in here because it's private.

I'm asking if anyone has an issue.

That and he has weirdly specific interests. Niche interests are really better suited to communities built around those interests.

Why not just make friends offline? >_> Going onto social media to try to make friends is like looking for a girlfriend at a strip club -- sometimes it can work out great, but most of the time there's a better venue.

Reddit in general just feels like shouting into a void with terrible formatting and a mostly rotten community.

I know we're not friends, TC, but for what it's worth I think you're a lot friendlier and not as trolly as you were a few years ago, and I think that's really cool.

I also understand how you feel, somewhat. I have people I like on PotD, and some of us are facebook friends/play games/have spoken offline before, but I dunno if we're "friends", and it makes me feel kinda weird. Especially because I think I blame my lack of friends irl on how ugly and weird I am but I can't blame lack of friends on the internet on that lmao

Yeah most of my PotD "friends" I started being friends with here like more than ten years ago and they're pretty much gone from here now.

And Judg, I think FarQueue pretty much nailed it. I don't hate you or anything, I feel like I can relate to you in a lot of ways, but you can't expect people to just be your friend when all you do is mope and (indirectly or directly) shit on all their interests.
