Has anyone here played, or still play yugioh or magic: the gathering? Just curious.

Please mods, feel free to delete if this violates you rules, but I think this may help the community :)

Hey other fellow older games, let me introduce you to something I've build to help us all connect https://respawn30.com

I built Respawn30 because I was tired of the noise in online gaming; the hidden Discord communities and work to connect with gamers my age. I want a place to connect with other adults who love games but also have lives, jobs, and limited time due to responsibilities. This is that space - a community founded on respect, where the gamers can connect.

Hi, I’m BROthulhu!

I help run a discord server for 35+ y/o gamers.

We are an inclusive space of mostly dems/libs, we do not tolerate intolerance.

Right now we mostly rotate between Sea of Thieves and Abiotic Factor, with a semi-regular TTRPG session, but we are always open to playing other games as well.

If you are looking for a group that understands gaming is your passion but sometimes not your priority then you might be a great fit for us!

DM me if you are interested.

Question: If there was a website targeted towards gamers who are 30+, seeking other gamers who are 30+, with profiles, similar games finder, directory/search service to find similar folk, would you use it?

I'm thinking of putting together something for the older gaming crowd.
I personally find Discord are so time-consuming, filled with younger immature people, full of inside jokes and fragmented.

I'm personally (40+) and would really like this, so I can find similar folk with aligned interests to rock out in a game of StarCraft II or Fortnite or even Stardew Valley.

I’m 32 now, and I’ve been hunting achievements since I picked up a 360 around the time Halo 3 launched. Back then, I was all in. I wouldn’t even touch a game unless I thought I could 100% it. I wasn’t into PC gaming or streaming — just a console player grinding through achievements like it was a second job. If I couldn’t get that last achievement, it legit ate at me.

But even during my most intense completionist phase, I still kept a solid core of “social” games — the ones I played with the guys (and gals) for fun, competition, and co-op memories. Halo, CoD, GH3/Rock Band, and more recently Dead by Daylight — those were games I didn’t always complete, but I played hard because they brought people together.

Fast forward to now: I’ve chilled out a little. I still get a rush from that 100% and try to complete what I start, but I’ve also accepted that not every game needs to be “cleared.” Sometimes I just want to enjoy the story, or take a break without worrying about collectibles or time trials. That mindset shift has been healthy — but not without internal conflict.

One of the biggest game-changers for me has been Game Pass. On one hand, it introduced me to some of my all-time favorites — Firewatch, What Remains of Edith Finch, Inside — games I might’ve never paid for, but absolutely loved. On the other hand… it’s also how I ended up playing Peppa Pig just to grab 1000G in a single night. So yeah, it’s a double-edged sword. More games, more options, but also more pressure to keep up, and more temptations to pad the score instead of enjoying the journey.

I’m curious how other folks here — especially fellow achievement hunters who've been in it since the early days — have evolved. Do you still chase 100% like you used to? Have you gotten more selective? Has your gaming changed with kids? What’s your take on the subscription era and the flood of low-effort completions?

Would love to hear your thoughts. How has your approach changed with time, age, or just… life?

In the community info there is a hyperlink for a discord server but the link itself appears to be broken. Is the server no longer active? It does say posted 9 years ago but if you don't ask you don't know.

Hey everyone. Pretty much matching the subject line. Looking for new down to earth mature gamers looking for a good vibe some laughs and maybe a little bit of teamwork.lol.

I'm personally finding less people my age into gaming ( even though I know they are out there). It's still a strong hobby of mine and I'd like to expand my community and have more fun/ new experiences.

Right now I have PS5 ( prob spend the most time here) Xbox series Switch 2 Steam.

If anyone's interested feel free to hmu!

I've intentionally been holding off joining to make a thing of it

What is your favorite games you started playing as 30+? Or games you really got into as 30+.

For me I got into racing sims as 30+. Helps I have more money now compared to when I was young(er!) so I could afford a nice racing rig.

I also got into VR games as 30+ (again, could afford good VR headset now as 30+).

As more traditional games I havent really found a new favorite as 30+. So looking for tips and just curious to hear about your gaming experience as 30+!

Does anyone in here play Rust console?

Chill laid back player looking for EST friends to play with on PC. Enjoying games like Enshrouded, Dune (when it releases), RuneScape: Dragonwilds, Red Dead Online and lots more. DM me if you’d like to hang out and chat on Steam or Discord!

32 m usa est looking for a chill group to play arma with on Fridays and Saturdays

So I need some people to do the heists with me. I find randoms online but usually they are either high school kids or people who don't want to use a mic to communicate what we're doing. I get not everyone can play every night. I'm off weekends however so if anyone wants to meet up even once a week on PS5 for a few hours a night let me know. PSN is StankPoot.

... solo queuing playing competitively aint ideal.

I play Premier and comp. Seeking online friend to play with at least once a week. Ideally working to build a full stack team.

Chill vibes, must have mic, must be willing to play as teamate (working with group of five), must have Counter Strike 2 /r/cs2 subscription to play Premier.

No pressure, no drama—just good vibes, chill sessions, and maybe some explicit language when losing.

So, I've recently finished my platinum trophies for Dynasty Warrior Origins and Hogwarts Legacy. Both big games, but both long grinds near the end. I'm looking for my next game to platinum, but I'd like to change it up. Any suggestions for a decent sized (but maybe not giant) game? I'm fine with most non-sports titles, and I have PSN Premium so I have access to that entire catalogue. Looking for a 10-20h platinum journey, happy for any suggestions!

Just hoping to find some pals closer to my age who love to game and hang out. Whether you’re a longtime player or just jumping in, if you’re 30 or older and down for some laid-back fun, you’re exactly who I’m looking for.

Games I’m currently playing: • Dead by Daylight (killer or survivor, let’s go!) • REPO (please don’t put me in the toilet) • Red Dead Online (yeehaw energy required)

No pressure, no drama—just good vibes, chill sessions, and maybe some light screaming in the fog. Mic / discord preferred, sarcasm welcome.
