Looking for long term friends

hey there, I go by Ax or Spec normally, but I'm 24M and I'm looking to make some female friends preferably in the North American time zone. This is due to personal issues, I am very real and am not looking for a relationship, its for personal reasons so if you'd like to ask, I can explain, it just may take awhile. I do a lot of things, but my main hobbies are gaming, anime, technology, and music.

Games: Monster Hunter, Repo, Phasmophobia, Minecraft, Core Keeper, Stellaris, Etc. All sorts of stuff

Anime: Spice and Wolf, Frieren, Hells Paradise, Gurren Laghaan, Horimiya, Etc. A lot of variety here as well

Music: EDM mainly, but also have a couple scattered about.

I am an awkward and pretty reserved person who's not the best at small talk, but I am pretty talkative, especially about things I enjoy once I'm comfortable. I prefer VC as it lets me get to hear and know you better, also because I do better in VC than in text chats, but either is fine. If you are curious or have questions, id love for you to say hello!
