A community dedicated to 30+ gamers.

Submitted ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨Anissem@lemmy.ml⁩ to ⁨patientgamers@sh.itjust.works⁩

I’ve been a member of a discord community for over 6 years now. On any given night you’ll find people playing anything from Battlefield 6, Arc Raiders, Overwatch 2, etc. It’s a very active community with weekly events and we even have a sim racing group finishing up another season in iRacing. If it sounds interesting, they have a website for applications Over 30 Clan

Apologies if this is considered soliciting. I don’t get many opportunities to mention it and it’s honestly a great community. It took me a long time to find one of this quality.

Discord required

Nope.

  We’ll make our own group, with matrix and hookers! On second thought, forget the hookers, keanu reeves is too wholesome for hookers, and will bring in enough friends for us all to sit shoulder to shoulder with as we take the red pills.

  I understand. It’s an unfortunate requirement since the community was built entirely around discord. It’s really the only thing I use discord for.

    Makes sense, seems like most guilds now require discord. I just have no interest in being beholden to another enshitified service.

  Same. I think i’m too old to understand the point of discord.

  - natecox@programming.dev ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
    I get the point, but I just don’t agree with it.
    
    For example: I put some thought into finding a final fantasy 14 guild to help with putting together parties for content (so I don’t need to wait 40+ minutes for less common but mandatory ones) but virtually all the ones I found were “discord required”.
    
    I just want someone to play content with occasionally, not a full time, always on community that demands I engage with it all the time.

For me, the problem is not that you’re soliciting, it’s that you’re redirecting people towards a closed platform (Discord). If your forum were fediverse enabled, like bbnode or piefed, it would be so much easier for people to interact with you.

  I hear ya. It’s all I use discord for. The community has been around since 2010 so it got built all around discord.

    Have you considered making an alternative social sport on the threadiverse. For more asynchronous discussions and as a backup location in case you have any discord issues?

Battlefield 6 So not that patient, actually

  We’ve been patiently waiting for BF2042 to not be the newest BF title. It was a tough slog to push through

Read that title and thought, “that’s not a very big community”

  We’re hoping to make it to 40 soon!

A nonprofit with a vetting process and weekly meetings is way too complex and/or serious for me. But good luck anyway.

- Anissem@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
  You don’t need to take part in any of it. There’s no expectations or attendance requirements

Americans?

  Primarily yes, but there are some folks from all around the globe.

    Cool. Doesn’t work for me time-zone-wize but I like the concept. Wish you guys many enjoyable gaming hours!

This sounds great. I’ve been looking for a group of people to just chill and play games with. My normal group and I don’t really line up well with our hangout times.

  Hope to see you there!

MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
That’s neat! I don’t think many of the games I play (and poorly at that) would count, like Slay the Spire etc.

But, maybe in the Christmas downtime i’ll apply and see what it’s all about! Thanks for sharing!

  It counts for me! What do you think of Monster Train?
  
  source
  - MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
    I like it as a more relaxing version of Slay the Spire. I’m not great at either though, so take what I say with more than a few grains of salt. I feel like I can see the combos Monster Train wants more easily than in Slay the Spire, where I sometimes feel like I’m tricking the system OR the Spire is trying to trick me by offering something remoting that doesn’t quite work with my deck.

    Not who you asked, but I just binged that game hard so I’m gonna answer anyway. Monster Train is a frustrating game. In some ways I like it more than Spire, but it feels shallow, like it needs something to make it more substantive. That said, I’m definitely worse at it than I am at Spire, which may be coloring my impression

  It’s worth checking out. I’m fortunate to have some months off work and it’s great to have an older community to game with. Maybe I’ll see you there!

The absolute moment i get a proper, regimented bed time for all the kids sorted I’m signing up.

  Look forward to seeing you there. Lots of parents in the community as well. There’s even a channel dedicated to parents

Adalast@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
Any chance for people playing things like Factorio? Maybe Rift Breaker?

source
- Anissem@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
  There’s tons of channels dedicated to various types of games, platforms and topics for discussions. Currently I haven’t seen anyone focusing on either of those in channel or voice chat, but it tends to be a constantly evolving range of games the group tends to focus on. There’s no shortage of people focusing on single player games and discussing them in channel and even on voice chat.

I know that a Discord to Matrix Bridge is possible. Would you ever consider setting that up?

source
- Anissem@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
  Unfortunately I’m just a member but it could definitely be suggested

Zeddex@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
Seems interesting but not for me I think. The focus looks to be almost entirely competitive multiplayer games which I don’t really have the time, patience, or interest for right now.

90% of my gaming is on handhelds these days(Deck/Switch 2). It’s pretty rare that I’m on my PC and don’t own any other consoles.

I’ve been looking for some communities on Lemmy/Discord that have more of a single player, especially RPG focused. I looked at the Falcom community but it’s dead lol. Too bad I’ve been really into Trails recently!

Started with Sky FC in 2023 and I’m on CS III now. I love this series!

I think you’ll get a lot of hate for it being Discord exclusive, but the vast majority of people have probably never even heard of Matrix. I bet a lot of people on Lemmy haven’t even.

Good luck growing the community!

  There’s a ton of people that focus on single player, RPGs included. The community has channels dedicated to all types on Genres and games. I’d give it a shot, there’s no pressure and you might find some nice people on there. Take care

    Hm ok. Maybe I’ll give it a look later when I get the chance!

Thanks for posting. Applied. Might not be able to get on often but the ability to join up with a crew would be nice.

  I’m in the same boat. When I’m working I don’t have much time, but the community doesn’t put pressure on anyone. Hope to see you there
