Yeah it helps if you're really into some niche gaming community (eg, retro game randomizers), but in my ~30 years of being extremely online, my closest online friends have pretty much all come from small Twitch streams and their associated Discords.
- ehnto 3y agoI used to get this from forums and chat rooms and can echo the sentiment that Twitch can have similar community. The important thing is just that every time you show up, some of the same people are there and there is room to talk to them. Also one of the biggest downsides to matchmaking in games was it removed that aspect of it, which has destroyed the community aspect of a lot of games.
- davkan 3y agoI still remember a few names of people I played with in Halo CE servers two decades ago. Not even clan members, or those I made a closer connection with. Just random people who enjoyed the same servers I did. I’ve missed that kind community in every matchmaking game I’ve played. The only way to get familiar faces with matchmaking is to get good enough at a game that the pool of potential matches is tiny.
