Me 40 and wife 38 seeking likeminded PC gamers

I'm very well versed in gaming and the wifey is just dipping her toes into pc gaming for the first time. So please be patient with us. We are looking for likeminded people who want to play some friendslop and just hangout. Brownie points if you like Romantasy and are a fellow booktoker. I mostly play WoW, Roguelikes, JRPGS, TCGS, WH40k and D&D. Currently we've been having a blast playing Meccha Chameleon.

Looking for people who are looking for the "old school" days of gaming [M, 35, CEST]

I mean, i don't really know how to begin this message. And in the end.... it doesn't even matter.

Had a few online gaming buddies, but as time goes on, those groups fell apart, preferences changed and so on. And here am i, still playing games on a regular basis. Like, sometimes it feels like, it's "wrong" to still play games like i do. I mean, i of course have other hobbies and activities, f.e. music - listening, volounteer author for a punk zine, creating music videos, collecting vinyls, going to concerts, cycling (hey, that's not related to music), swimming (living near the sea), writing (well, the author-stuff, but also started to write lyrics again) and so on. But there's still gaming.

Don't know, where i'm going with this.

I love playing games alone, but honestly, i would love to socialize with new people again and meet new interests. On the other hand, i'm not interested (for now) to join some weird discord servers, where like 30 bots are installed and people need tiktok, spotify and youtube run at the same time, while they are in a call with someone. Maybe i'm oldschool, but what happened to the "Just let us sit down for a couple of hours and play some games or just chat about whatever"? Still don't know, where i'm going with this. Maybe you, the reader, know it. 😆

I only play games on PC, but Crossplay makes a lot possible. I have like +300 games on steam, but mainly play games like Battlefield 6, Survival Games (most liked so far is 7dtd) and honestly would love to get back into Rainbow Six Siege... oh wait, it's called Rainbow Six X, isn't it? I also started to follow the CS2-Pro League for a couple of months now and it's a blast (though, i don't play CS). I'm also open for new games, but not really interested in sport- or racing games.

Personwise i would describe myself being calm, reflective and honest. No toxic behaviour, no screaming, no raging. I always follow the simple guide: Treat the other person like you wanted to be treated. You never know, how the other person currently feels, what he or she is going through. Maybe gaming (or whatever the other person does) is their only safe haven.

Absolutely zero interest and tolerance in close minded, racist and homophobic (etc.) people.

Maybe there's someone out there, who would like to meet up. If you're shy, funny, small, big, weird, kind, i don't care. Just be a human being. 🙂 And i'm kinda tired of people, which say, they want to meet up for games/chatting, but then never show up.

Native in german, fluent in english, basic-medium knowledge in danish, swedish and french.

Hit me up, if you are interested (new to reddit, not exactly sure, how this works) or you know, where i was going with this.

🐱

End note: I also don't want to join just another minecraft community server. 😆 But if you want to nerd about music (especially punk and hardcore) that's a really big plus!

(CST) 37M Married Dad Looking for Chill Gaming Buddies + Daytime Discord Hangouts (PC/PS5/Switch 2)

Hey everyone — I’m a 37-year-old married dad looking to find a small, reliable group of people to game with and hang out with. Life’s busy, but I’d love to build a little circle of friends who enjoy gaming, chatting, and just having a relaxed place to unwind.

- Availability

Nights: Free after 8PM Central every night

Weekdays: Can often play between 7AM–4PM Central if work is slow

Pretty consistent once I find people I click with

- Platforms I Play On

PC: Steam + Epic

PS5

Switch 2

*I don’t currently have PS Plus or Nintendo Switch Online, but I’d pick them up if I find the right person/people/group.

Games I’m Into

Switch 2: Mostly Nintendo stuff — Mario Kart, Mario Party, various Mario titles, and Pokémon Pokopia. Honestly, I’m down for pretty much any Pokémon game, and would love a good coop game too if it's good.

PS5: I’ve been catching up on a bunch of RPGs lately, love a good shooter that isn't COD or BF.

PC: Wide mix of co‑op, survival, shooters, RPGs, etc. (Feel free to check my Steam library if you’re curious - https://steamcommunity.com/id/CoresInSpace)

I’m also really looking forward to the new Halo: Campaign Evolved coming out this month — still deciding whether I’ll play it on PS5 or PC.

- Beyond Gaming

I’m totally down for a “friends who hang out on Discord during the day” vibe — chatting while working, sharing memes, talking hobbies, etc. Outside of gaming, I’m into:

Projects around the house

Checking out breweries

Building Legos

3D printing (haven’t printed in about 2 years but want to get back into it)

Random hobbies when time allows

Recently getting back into digital comics

- What I’m Looking For

Chill, friendly adults (25+ preferred)

People who enjoy co‑op sessions, casual multiplayer, or just hanging out in voice

No drama, no toxicity — just relaxed, adult energy

If this sounds like your vibe, drop a comment, or DM me here or Discord or Steam. Username is CoreInSpace. Would love to meet some new people and build a consistent group to game and hang out with.

I've been struggling to find teammates my age, so I'm building something to solve that problem.

Hi everyone,

I've been a gamer for many years, and as I've gotten older, I've realized it's becoming harder to find people to play with consistently. Between Discord servers, Facebook groups, and random posts, I often end up spending more time looking for teammates than actually playing.

Because of that, I've been designing a platform over the past few months to help adult gamers (25+) find teammates in a simpler and more organized way.

It's still in development, and before I keep building it, I'd really love to get honest feedback from people who actually play games.

I'd really appreciate it if you could answer any of these questions:

  • What was the first thing that caught your attention?
  • Was anything confusing or unclear?
  • What information would you like to see before joining a lobby?
  • Is there any feature you feel is missing?
  • Would you use something like this? Why or why not?

I'm not trying to promote anything—I genuinely want to improve the product based on feedback from the gaming community.

Any comments, suggestions, or criticism are more than welcome. Thanks so much for taking the time to check it out!

[35/F] Door's Open.

Don’t know if I’ll get any nibbles with this, but, eh, why not try. Finding friends seems to be a tricky thing so I’m hoping I could make some, especially some closer to my age group. I’m a bit of a horror nerd, with some of my favorite games being Outlast Trials, Repo, Phasmophobia, and a handful of others that may not be as popular or known. Also, if my username wasn’t a giveaway, I love the Resident Evil series as well; I swear it’s a super old gamertag. Lately, I’ve been having fun with another horror game called Species Unknown. I do own DBD, although I don’t play it as much as I used to. I strangely hop between either chaotic horror games to others that are actually cozy and hella relaxing, like Coral Island, a shameful number of different simulations, or something like Gobin Cleanup. Heck, I even consider Schedule 1 pretty relaxing.

I do have some friends, although they’re not around as much as they used to be or they’re mainly in another friend group, which is fine. I’m just tired of being the “coat” you take out and put back after you no longer need me for something. I’ve been hesitant on joining groups because I don’t know where someone like me would fit in. It would be awesome if I met people who were cool and a little more constant, friends I could click with outside of gameplay as well. I promise I’m someone you don’t need to take serious, my sense of humor is ridiculous and I laugh at the dumbest things. I’m a huge nerd and I welcome pretty much anyone, as long as you’re easy to get along with of course. I feel like I’m writing more than I need to, and if anyone is still reading this, I apologize, heh. Also, I’m Canadian (Central) and I game on Steam. I’m not sure how Reddit works but I’m willing to send over my Discord to anyone to wants to hang! ;)

Gaming Group

Hi everyone. New to this subreddit. I just wondered what the easiest way to reach out to fellow local gamers so I can start a gaming group. I’m based in the west of Scotland and keen to meet fellow gamers near me for meet-ups. Thanks

Cozy gaming, anyone?

I love playing Where Winds Meet as a cozy game. Anyone else?

Some of my favorite moments so far:
Group Exercises & Dance
Playing the Guqin (solo & co-op)
Exploration Quests
Participating in a Pardon Parade
Co-op Dances & Interactions
Taming horses
Throwing bears w/Taichi

This game is beautiful and oddly comforting.
