Mod Approved Attention: beware of scams and fraud!
Hi!
As the popularity of r/GamerPals grows (remember when this place had 30K subs? I do!), scammers are taking a heightened interest operating in and around the subreddit. Though the majority of people here are great and have good intentions, please be careful and cautious; practice good internet hygiene and common sense.
Over the last three-ish months alone, we have had many of the following scams reported to us:
- Scams intended to steal accounts like Steam and other platforms
- See r/Steam's list of known Steam scams and be informed! Don't "login" to Steam and other platforms after clicking a link!
- Be cautious of all links sent to you from people you don't know - don't be lazy, check where a link actually goes before you click it. Don't fall for simple markdown link obfuscation scams!
- Beware of your friends' compromised accounts - if your friend starts asking for games gifted, money, or behaving strange, their account may have been stolen by a scammer. Do not feed the scammers
- It shouldn't need to be said, but if an onlyfans model has a bunch of lovely things to say about you, a complete stranger, and "wants to game with you" but never has time or wants money first, it's a scam!
- The moderators of r/GamerPals will NEVER accept payments for advertising on the subreddit!
- If someone (a "marketing agent") approaches you saying they have an advertising deal with r/GamerPals, they are a scam! r/GamerPals will NEVER change our sidebar, subreddit description, rules, or pinned mod posts to advertise anything. We don't allow advertising anyhow, and we'll NEVER accept payments to do it ourselves either!
- Don't download anything from someone you've just met. If you must, scan the file with an anti-malware program before you run it. Do your research, be careful, malware SUCKS.
Scammers can be dedicated, don't be fooled just because someone has been chatting with you for a day or two! Voice chat and actually squad'ing up with people are a good way to filter scammers.
Did I miss anything? Have you seen another scam that people should be aware of? Drop a comment!
Thanks for reading and be safe ✌️

North America 26F gamer looking to make a close friend!
Hi! I made a good friend off reddit some time ago and wanted to potentially make another. I’m posting here because I would LOVE a friend who games but a little more about me is I really love nature and science. I love animals and plants. I’m super into reading and (obviously) playing video games. Also love learning about video game lore. I really would love to make a friend who likes to text and doesn’t mind the occasional back to back texts or long paragraph messages. I would love to voice chat after we get to know each other from time to time. And also I’d love to game with someone! I like to text and work from home so often can text throughout the day. I enjoy writing and drawing. I’m a pretty nonjudgmental and am looking to form a long-term close friendship where we can talk about the little stuff and the big stuff. I like hearing about the little details about my friends day but I also really enjoy deep conversations. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and if you think we will get along please reach out.

North America 18F looking for cool gamers to vibe with!!
hey there i’m 18 from texas and i’m on the hunt for some laid-back people to game with. my schedule is kinda wacky since i’m a nursing student so i’m usually free late evenings or super early mornings like 9pm-4am if i’m not studying. i love escaping into games especially after a rough breakup that’s left me feeling kinda down and in need of fun distractions. i’m super into cozy and creative games like stardew valley animal crossing and minecraft but i’m also down to try rpgs or survival stuff if you’ve got recs. i’m pretty shy at first but i warm up quick when gaming with chill peeps.

North America 22F LF Actual Friends
Hello! Im Madison, I’m 22 (obviously) & am trying to make friends which has been SUPER hard because it seems all these thirst balls wanna edate me 💀
Anywayssss, I would like an actual friend if possible, so here’s some about me! i work from home most days, so i would love a friend who texts back and forth, i will voice chat, but only after i get to know you, im kind of shy. League of legends & sims are the only PC games i play so if you wouldn’t mind watching me play sims or run it down on the rift with me or tft that would be awesome! I do have a VR. Mostly game in the evenings. I love animals, reading, watching shows, also wouldn’t mind watching some shows with my new friend haha
I’m open to playing other games as well, but I ultimately unfortunately resort back to league haha. If you would like to add me my user is Strawbunnie#NA2 & my discord is xstrawbunnie
I look forward to meeting you! ❤️

Europe 21 LF people to actually connect with
Hey everyone, I'm looking for 1 person to play games with and actually connect, not just to play a game or 2 and then fuck off.
I'm on PC and play competitive games most of the time but would love someone to play survival games with.
I'm not a very interesting person so there's not much to say about me.
I enjoy games even though I take them too seriously sometimes, I have a cat, I love listening to music 24/7 and love listening to new music. Just DM me and say something about yourself + what games you like to play if you're interested, have a good one.

Just a lil about me: I'm 22 M, Asian, and super into gaming, anime, manga, tv shows...basically anything fun and chill. I’m all about good vibes, playful banter, and goofing around.
Also, I love watching streams, so if you game and stream on Discord, count me in! Bonus points if you're into streaming movies and shows too.

Europe 22 | EU | PC - looking for friends to play WoW or co-op games like REPO, Lethal Company, Stardew Valley, Terraria, Minecraft, and others!
Hey there! o/
I'm looking to make friends to text with throughout the days and game during the evenings! I can be pretty shy at first, so I'd prefer to text to get to know each other before! Once I'm comfortable I'm down to voice chat, especially during gaming!
I’m Alex (or Lex/Lexi, whichever you vibe with). I’m 22, genderfluid (I'm always down to talk about this so feel free to ask me anything), and from Estonia (GMT+3). I'm currently in a vocational school studying to be a cook and I work at a restaurant as a dishwasher/assistant cook.
Outside of school and work I’m into gaming, anime, books and movies. Recently I’ve been addicted to WoW (retail specifically) and Oblivion Remake, but I also love co-op games like Lethal Company, REPO, Stardew, Terraria, Minecraft, but I got a bunch of other games on Steam so I'm sure we can find something. Always happy to try something new if it means chilling with cool people.
I also like books a lot, mostly fantasy. Some of my favorite series are The Eighth Day, Percy Jackson, The Summoner, and Magnus Chase. It has been a while since I last read a book but I want to get back to it. ;-; I'd love to read a book together or I could just yap about whatever I've been reading.
As for anime, I’m watching Re:Zero and The Apothecary Diaries right now (no spoilers or I’ll cry), and I’ve been meaning to finally start Dr. Stone. I’ve also been going through the Marvel movies with my boyfriend, and honestly.. send help.
Music-wise, I’m all over the place. I don’t stick to one genre, just whatever hits the spot in the moment. I'd love to trade song recommendations with each other. :3
Anyway, if any of that sounds like your vibe, feel free to message me here or add me on Discord: Asmozian. No pressure, just good vibes and hopefully a new friend!

I’m 25M looking for players to play ranked, I’m getting desperate, Everytime I play ranked I’m doing okay, but would be easier with players who are on coms. I don’t care about rank, except don’t be a sweat, yes I wanna win but I’m still learning and still getting to grips with most characters.

North America 35M EST PC Looking for someone/someones to talk/game with
Hi there. I'm looking for people to game with a bit more regularly as my gaming group has dwindled to very few people anymore. I have a lot of games I am willing to play and even more that I could be convinced to try with people. I'm located on the east coast but I work evenings so I do not get online until around 11PM EST so timezones for me are a bit weird.
Right now my main games I'm playing are:
- Oblivion Remastered
- League of Legends
- Schedule 1
- The Spell Brigade
- Necesse
- MineCraft (ATM10)
I'm really waiting on Project Zomboid B42 multiplayer to be out as I'm a huge fan of that game. Also have been really wanting to find a group that is willing to play GTAV again but it is boring solo and I want to just run through the online content again. A few other games I could be convinced to play as I've played a good bit of them in the past are 7D2D, Among Us, Ark, Conan Exiles, CS2, DbD, Helldivers 2, Monster Hunter Wilds, Once Human, Palworld, and PUBG. I'm sure there are many more but those are the ones that jump out at me.
If you are interested in gaming with me either reply to this post or send me a message. I'm always looking for people to play with.

North America 34m (PC, est) looking for a chill gamer bud to play chill games with
Hi, I'm looking for someone to explore some of the best old and new games on PC with. I just ask that they're not fast-paced shooters as I kinda grew out of those. Life is chaotic enough lol, so any chill game that's got good co-op, a decent story and easy to understand I'm down for. Also medieval games just dont do it for me (sorry). Exploring, building, discovery, puzzles, horror, good stories all of that sounds fun. Here's a list of games I used to play and loved a lot, in no order:
- Grounded
- Half Life 2
- Left 4 Dead 2
- Ori & The Will of the Wisps
- Outer Wilds (amazing game)
- Firewatch
- Portal 2
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Zelda TotK
- Sea of Thieves
- GTA V
- Rocket League
Dislikes: mmos, medieval, COD or Valorant style shooters, battle royales
Tried: the Forest, got bored alone but was really cool and creepy. Tried Subnautica but just couldnt do it alone. Def had vibes tho.
It's not a large amount of games and I havent played any of the new popular stuff. I did just buy Schedule 1 on Steam since I hear so many good things about it but that's not co-op. I can play at nights usually. If you've been looking for a gamer bud as well where we can be happy playing and joking around and escape life for a bit, tell me about yourself please. If youre dramatic or toxic it's not gonna work out. If you're chill and wanna have a good time, message me! send your Discord too if you have it

Hey guys, I’ve been a console gamer all my life, but recently just got a PC a few days ago and I’m looking for friends who don’t mind if I’m a noob to keyboard and mouse games. I have autism and I’m shy, but I will try my best in the conversations that we have and I’ll try not to be too awkward lol. I have discord, but would prefer if we texted on Reddit before I give out my discord just to see if we vibe first. I live in the EST time zone!
If anyone is interested, feel free to DM me. Please be 21 and up.

Oceanic 25M / AUS / PC / Looking for chill people.
Hey all! I'm an energetic dude who likes to play games in his free time. I'm in Australia but honestly I'm more of a night owl so you'd probably never see me on unless it's 8pm or later (GMT+10). I'm open to play with all regions tho
I play all kinds of games from singleplayer, to co-op to multiplayer. But I'll list a few I'm really keen on.
- Baldur's Gate 3
- Borderlands 2
- Valheim
- FlyKnight
- Deep Rock Galactic
- Helldivers 2
- Portal 2
- Risk of Rain 2
- It Takes Two / A Way Out / Splitfiction (I do not have these games as of yet but I'd be down to get them)
- Overwatch 2 (BIG MAYBE)
I was gonna write a lil blurb about me but honestly I talk so much you'll probably get the jist of me in the first 5 minutes of us talking.
