I'm not looking for a partner (yet) pls don't ask for pics

Pls be around my age ± 10 years, but greater than 21

I work and study and I'm quite busy, please don't expect me to be available 24h. I'm typically available during the late afternoon till 22/23

What's a friend? It could be or imply many things actually. I'm quite open minded in that regard. I'd led you decide what you want this thing to be.

- Gaming buddy? Ok, why not.
- Platonic standard male friendship? Well that sounds fine to me.
- Bromance? Well I guess you gotta be open minded these days. Just don't be a creep.
- Full fledge romantic relationship? Well that's not what I'm looking for but I guess one never know.
- Something else? Fine! It's up to you

I mean this doesn't sound like a deal to you I don't know what would do. I bet it must sounds almost too good to be true.

I know what you're thinking now. It must be one of the following:
- «Oh, wow, this guy is weird af»
- «Uhm, sure... I guess by the time I am reading this he'll surely have found someone, no point to try»
- «I'm still not sure if this is a joke or not»

Well, in order:
- Yes I am, but you gotta believe me IRL I look way more normal than what I sound like here.
- NO!! That's just an excuse you're making for yourself. If this page is online (look! we're on the internet! so cool!) whatever I wrote here is still valid. Also I'm looking for like more than one friend, like, the ideal number would be 3. Me exluded, so a group of 4. I will remove this page, when irrelevant.
- It is not. Listen dude I am just lone,y, afraid of people and I wanted to create a website for myself. Therefore I thought, why don't try to combine these things into one? Huh, actually I also wanted to write a webnovel but I dunno if I'll continue that bruh.

« I don't care, TL:DR? »

A friendship could be or imply many things. What's important now though it's not what a friendship could eventually be but rather how a friendship start at the beginning.

And that's very straightforward. I'm looking for a person with whom playing games, watching anime, or in general, doing activities . Doing stuff together.

That's it.

EVEN IRL (if you live reasonably close to me, meaning in Sardinia, Italy).

That's kinda it. So simple isn't it?

I don't expect full compatibility because full compatibility doesn't exist. If we have fun together and respect boundaries that will do.

I'm fearful like a stray cat (pls don't laugh). Afraid of the dark, huh. A bit asocial in the sense that in many situations I'd rather stay at home than going in a place with people.

I may be slightly agoraphobic.
As for the rest, I'm the normal average guy you'd meet huh IDK at the grocery store?

I'm curious by nature, and I rarely encounter topics I'm actively uninterested in. But that's not important, I'm not looking for a person to discuss, I'm looking for a person to play, doing stuff AND discuss.
I like cats and most animals (NOT SNAKES). But I'm not vegan or anything.

I don't ghost or anything and I have really few dealbreakers:
I don't tolerate arrogance and people who don't respect boundaries, that's it.

Am I free from negative sides? No, not at all. I try my best.

I'm not competitive and I mostly dislike competition/pvp. I strongly prefer cooperation in general. Working together with someone to reach a goal.

What I like:

Nature. It might be a cliché, idk what to say about that. I'm particularly comfortable in forests with no people.

I'm interested in old consumer and media technology, especially from the 70s and 80s and 90s.
I'm also interested in old HiFi systems (don't worry though I'm not an audiophile).

And also scifi, animation, data hoarding, history (I like listening to podcast), architecture (perhaps my next major but I'm not sure), and many more things I don't even remember now.
I enjoy fantasy anime and even isekais from time to time.
Pretty much everything but fitness and pseudosciences.
I like relaxing games.

✅One of more of the following:

Online:


- Playing games (please refer to the list below)
- Chatting (initially via text only, sorry I'm shy)
- Watching anime or tv series
- Other stuff you propose (anything, don't be shy in proposing SFW activities)

In real life:

- All of the above but, huh, well, in the same room? Better if in a cozy place. I don't own a house. I won't for a while, sorry (at least 2-3 years).
- Hiking in nature (south Sardinia)
- Playing game in split screen (Mario Kart and stuff like that). I used to be good.
- Visiting museums, or cities, or villages, or places
- Visiting shops. Any shop it'd be ok. If I had to pick I'd say thrift stores, and maybe manga stores. IDK.
- Any other activity which is proposed unless it fall under...

❌Stuff I'd prefer to avoid instead:

Online:

- Sexting. I mean it'd be tolerable within the scope of a roleplay but I'd prefer to focus on other things.
- I'm not open to online romantic relationship.

In real life:

- Going to disco, parties, or crowed noisy places. Pls no.
- Going to the beach / sea. Not really my thing. I get bored staying there all day, then sand is sticky and it gets everywhere and it's uncomfortable. I'm more a mountain/forest guy.

Now of course nothing is set on stone, these are just preferences. If you wanna propose something different that's accepted and encouraged.

I'm not a fan of fighting games, card games, and stuff like that. Other than that I particularly enjoy:

- Almost any kind of sandbox game.

- Minecraft is goat. I usually play vanilla but I woudn't dislike playing modded, I'd like to try the create mod.
I CAN HOST A SERVER (only vanilla for now). And like, I'm not jelaous like if you wanna a copy of the world I'll give that to you, like a backup huh, but don't use that to cheat (it'd ruin the game)!

- More advanced sandbox games (Space Engineers, Scrap Mechanic, others...) are ok too.

- Life sims and cozy games of any kind (Stardew Valley, and so on) totally up to as well.

- Survival games (Raft) also into those. Especially if building is involved.

- FPS and similar I haven't played them for a while and I was never good, but I think I own Battlefield V and some others. Haven't opened them in years. I used to like TF2.

- Horror co-op: I have a bunch of those! They're quite enjoying and great to break the ice. I own Phasmophobia and Lethal Company

- Party games I have some, they're fine as fillers or with many people

- Co-ops of any kind. If we collaborate for a shared goal I'm fine

- Management games (though most of them are singleplayer only huh)

- I don't know where to put it but I used to love Sea of Thieves. Though I stopped playing it actively shortly after the anniversary update.

- I have a job so buying games for me generally isn't a problem.
I also own a Switch but that's more for offline activities, I don't pay for NSO sorry.
