There are cases where I ask someone to play something like TF2 and don’t wanna voice chat and I don’t get that, like it makes me feel like we’re not even interacting at all.

I’m not trying to talk to people when I play games. Then again, you said TF2 and “Team” is right there in the name. So I guess you have to. I just never got into those games.
Closest I get is when my nephew wants to play Fortnite. But he’ll be right there next to me playing on his phone or his Switch, and I’ll be on the Xbox. Personally I think it’s kind of a stupid game, but it’s free, you don’t have to pay shit, and it’s basically the latest version of Unreal Tournament (in its shittiest form, but damn, I can fucking dance in Unreal Tournament). So he does the stupid dances and the big splashy moves, and I sneak around and flank the people who shoot at him, and double tap them in the head. I stay low, stick to cover, and make my shots count. He gets attention. We win matches like that. Kinda thankfully, he’s moved onto Roblox and that’s on the other side of a line I won’t cross with gaming. (And I say this as an Animal Crossing player.)
