I don’t speak on Voice chat though, mainly because many gamers online are racist (and sexist) pigs. Back in the day I did used to use TeamSpeak to talk to others in games and they both be racist toward me, and make fun of my voice saying I sound like a girl.
So, text only from now on, if reading is too hard especially with spelling mstakes if I’m doing it quickly in game, fuck them.
I do think this could have some use for me though, particularly with private calls which I’d prefer other people to not hear the other side of, though it’s still very hard to justify it since it just looks way too silly.
It took me years to find gaming buddies who aren’t racist shitbags and we still have to punt the occasional edgelord who decides to get up in someone’s face with that shit. Not a single one of my remaining discord communities is gaming focused, those all ended up being Superfund levels of toxic. Hobby and tech communities though? Plenty of good friends there that I play games with occasionally.
Yeah, I do have friends who I play online games with. Though I still don’t speak because I’m still very self-conscientious about my voice, and I know it’s stupid, but it’s just how I feel.
The only people I do talk with in Voice chat or phone calls are the friends I know in real life.
