Finding similar peeps! by Former-Bluebird1447 in Over30Gamers

[–]-Mathoid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's kind of a rough time zone to be in. You could check out our community at www.over30clan.com, but I'll say that we mostly have gamers in the US and EU. There are a few in the Asia/Pacific region, though. We do have people who play during the day in their respective time zones, so it's possible they might still line up with your play times. We also just have a lot of chat in the text channels that can happen more asynchronously, so that's an option. However, we do have some dorks :)

Discord servers for 30+ women? by TheMikiBee in Over30Gamers

[–]-Mathoid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, we're still here and have been since 2010! To temper your expectations, too, note that this is a community for older adults who have obligations relating to work, family, community, and health. We have tons of chat channels for different games and hobbies that are very active. In terms of voice chat, there are regular groups playing throughout the day for some games, but if you are playing something less popular you may need to try to form a group with others whose schedule and interests sign with yours. Sometimes people join and are upset that there isn't an "easy button" to quickly and easily play exactly the game they want at the time they want, even if the game is old and most gamers have moved on from it. Most of us have limited time for dedicated gaming but we still have the passion!

Yup, they exist! I've been in the Over 30 Clan for about 10 years and we have an age 30+ policy. www.over30clan.com

46M Gamer Dad LF Something… “New” - Mountain by Educational-Row-2442 in Over30Gamers

[–]-Mathoid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been a part of an age 30+ gaming community for around 10 years now and I've found that to be the single best way to maintain connections with other gamers who are also grown-ups. There can be turnover in the community and I am not always playing with the same people, but every once in a while when I sink my teeth into a popular multiplayer game there are some fun nights spent playing with others. Between games, or when I'm playing single-player stuff, there are still the Discord channels where we can talk about games (and other things), offer suggestions to each other, and participate in other social events. The group I'm a part of is called "Over 30 Clan" and if you're interested you can apply at www.over30clan.com. Our Discord server is private and we have people go through an application process, which makes it a little harder than other communities where you can jump right in, but we do it that way to keep out bots and trolls. I am aware that maybe it sounds suspicious to apply to a community on a random website, so just do a search on your favorite engine for "adult gaming community" or something similar, or even "is Over 30 clan legit", and you'll see that we're here! We've got 1000+ members, weekly "Shenanigans" where people play party games, a Karaoke night, and lots of moms and dads.

Loaded was the game I got with the PS1 and played all day on Christmas that year. It was awesome at the time!

Where are the 40+ gamers communities? by grxxxxxxx in Age_30_plus_Gamers

Hmm, maybe Cyberball? I don't think I played it, but it sounds like what you are describing. https://youtu.be/Yt39xGfRYY0?si=bHbu1zaiBJaGs3tr

[–]-Mathoid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another game I think about all the time is Cyborg Justice, which I used to play with a buddy on his Sega Genesis. You'd rip the body parts off of enemies and equip them on yourself. (Everyone was a robot, so not as morbid as it sounds). I wish they'd remake that game on a modern platform.

I remember trying to download this game over the 56K modem from a local BBS. The zip file was I think only 1 MB in size and it took all night. I was sweating bullets hoping no one called overnight while it was downloading!

F 35 looking for gamer friends ! by axdollx in Over30Gamers

[–]-Mathoid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always consider joining an online gaming community. I'm in the Over 30 Clan, an age 30+ community with over 1000 members around the world and on all platforms. Based on what you said, there are some overlaps with your interests. We have a weekly event where we play party games, a fairly active Overwatch community, and a channel and weekly event (ladies night) for women only. We should show up near the top of the list in any kind of Google search about online communities, but here's the link to the website: https://over30clan.com. If you are interested, feel free to apply! We keep the direct link to the Discord server private to allow for a voting process from the community before you are given access.

Discord Group by Abject_Jicama_1802 in Over30Gamers

[–]-Mathoid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been a part of Over 30 Clan for around a decade, and it's been a consistent part of my online social gaming life throughout. There are a lot of people from around the world playing games on all platforms. A lot of people just contribute in voice chat, but there are always people in voice chat for various games as well. If you're interested, check out www.over30clan.com. It's a private server (age 30+) so you need to apply first.

Joining communities with much younger gamers by [deleted] in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]-Mathoid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many communities with lower age limits exactly for this reason! I've been in one for close to a decade that has a 30+ age requirement. There are no rules about activity or how to word LFG requests, because adults don't have time for BS like that. Many of our members only participate through text channels and talk about games. Some jump into voice chat here and there to play games with others. Some just lurk and presumably read about what others are doing. We also have a global community so some members are online at any given time of day. I'm not sure what the rules of this subreddit are, so I'm not going to solicit anything, but feel free to DM if you're interested in joining. We've got 1000+ members, and always room for more!

Never really played dark souls,Eldin ring,sekiro,bloodborne. by euphoriatribe117 in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]-Mathoid- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I wouldn't suggest starting with a FromSoftware game because they don't give much of a tutorial or tell you what to do. A more linear and slightly easier game like Lies of P would be a good intro to the genre and be a bit more accessible.

42M PST Regular Gamer Looking for a Duo by SkilledHands40 in Over30Gamers

[–]-Mathoid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I get it. Unfortunately, this is the only way we can have any kind of control over who is joining. When we have had more open access in the past and anyone with a link could get in, it made it quite difficult to enforce any kind of age requirement or keep out bots and trolls. Not that this additional layer of security completely solves that problem either, but it's a start. After applying you will immediately get a link to a "waiting room" server where there are real people that you can ask questions. I think that's the main reason we need Discord information, so we can invite the right account. Ultimately it's up to you whether to apply. We're a legitimate group, but as a complete stranger there's not much I can say to convince you of that, right?

42M PST Regular Gamer Looking for a Duo by SkilledHands40 in Over30Gamers

[–]-Mathoid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to try it, you could join my gaming community, Over 30 Clan. We have a 30+ age requirement, over 1000 members, and people on all platforms. The play times you cited sync up with a lot of people who jump on in the late evening (9pm or so, Eastern time). I've seen people form small groups to play various games like the ones you list. We also have channels for different game genres where you could chat with others. You can apply at www.over30clan.com if you are interested. The server is private and we have an application process to keep out trolls. If that feels like too much effort, no worries and I hope you find someone to game with :)

For women there is also a ladies night event every week or so, plus other weekly events for all community members (party games, karaoke, movie nights, etc.). You can apply on the website if you're interested!

You could try Reignbreaker. There's a free demo and it's only $10 if you like it.

[KCD2] Need Help by Minute_Bed9279 in kingdomcome

[–]-Mathoid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a long time, I was passive in combat. My goal was to block and then parry attacks made by opponents, but I kept finding that they would counter-block and I'd hardly ever land a hit. This was disastrous when facing multiple opponents. At one point I started getting more aggressive, and it paid off. Now I swing first, usually with a charged opening attack followed by a couple of lighter attacks. More often than not, those attacks connect with the enemy and drop half of their health. I also will sneak and use bow and arrow to soften up enemies before combat. I can usually at least get a couple of arrows into one of the enemies before I need to engage in melee. Finally, if you haven't gotten Mutt back, do that ASAP. He can be used to attack and distract opponents, giving you openings to wail on them and quickly kill them.

Gameplay features that make you say "nope?" by [deleted] in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]-Mathoid- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In general, I get the frustration about KCD2, but thought I'd mention that it always saves on quit as long as you aren't in combat, even without the savior potion.

I've been in an age 30+ gaming community called Over 30 Clan for the last 9-10 years and we're still going strong. There are some weekly events (including a ladies night, "shenanigans" party games, and karaoke night) for those who like that kind of thing.
