- BGMI, Valorant or something nobody else plays?
- Your main, and why are they the best?
- First game you were properly addicted to?
- Childhood console: Mario on a TV game, PlayStation 2 or none?
- Night grinder or weekend gamer?
Fun ones
- Biggest rage quit story?
- Clutch you are proudest of?
- Which game character would you trust in real life?
- Teammate that drives you mad: the silent one or the shouting one?
- A game you love that nobody else seems to know?
- Single player story games or ranked grind?
Go deeper

Keeping it going
The best follow-up is an invite: "want to play a round later?" Playing together does more than an hour of chat. Keep personal details for later, and share game IDs only once you are happy to.
