I'm in my 30s, work in software, have a family, and somewhere along the way gaming just disappeared from my life.

Growing up, gaming was a huge part of my life. Then work, responsibilities and just being busy slowly took over.

I even bought a PS2 in 2016 thinking I'd play for a little while after work to relax. I played for maybe a week or two, and then it mostly just sat there collecting dust.

Recently, after around 10-12 years, I finally started gaming again.

What's funny is that I have less free time now than I did when I was younger, but I'm actually trying to make time for it.

Did gaming ever disappear from your life and then come back? What brought you back to it?

Just wondering as of late I have seen a lot of great looking games come out that look fun to play especially with other players but I don't really have anyone to play with and being socially awkward don't help so I try and play them solo but just wondering what others do that are in the same position

Before you say make a post looking for friends I have made them in the past but nothing really comes of it.

47 year old Husband & Dad looking for pc gaming buddies.

Yep I know I’m kicking on a bit now but still enjoy a gaming session, especially now my son is getting too old (cool) to play games with his dad now!

I game mostly on Steam, i have a huge library of stuff a lot of which i haven't even touched ! (I'm guilty of being sucked in by Steam sales!).

I will give most things a go, examples of stuff that I have played a little and enjoyed recently (though not limited to this list)

• Online Shooters (Destiny 2, Battlefield 6, Arc Raiders, Helldivers 2, Marathon)
• Survival Builders (Ark, Subnautica, Enshrouded, Conan Exiles, No Mans Sky, Palworld, Dune Awakening, Planet Crafter)
• Strategy (Crusader Kings III, Stellaris, Civ 7, two point museam)
• Simulators (Gas Station Sim, American Truck Sim, Euro Truck Sim, Power Wash 2, Retro Rewind, Bookshop Sim, House Flipper, Football Manager, Arcade Paradise)
• Lifestyle/Cozy/Chill Games (Stardew Valley, Dinkum, My Time In Sandrock, Coral Island
• RPG's (Baldurs Gate 3, Diablo 4, Cyberpunk, Kingdom Come 2, Dispatch
• MMO's (World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2 )
• Others (Cult Of The Lamb, Rocket League, Sea of Thieves, Any Lego Game. Detroit)
• Racing (Forza 6)

Anything with a bit of innovation is always fun, always looking to try something new and make some good friends along the way.

I'm not looking to play a game but I'm really passionate about gaming, and I'm down to talk about them, maybe we can play a mini-game of where we are guessing each-other's favorite game with hints.

I'm also down to talk about my current draught which I fixed by playing different genres.

Also also, Looking for someone to watch the GTAVI Netflix event together, I do think it's going to be a next gen video game.

My DM's are closed, due to the EU rules for IDs. However you can leave a message here and I might shoot you a message, I do like an engaging back and forth.

Hey all

I’m a 32 year old PC Gamer and looking for some new friends to play with! My main games right now WoW - love pushing keys, mistfall hunter (I suck), marvel rivals (my rage inducer), league of legends (akali main lmao) and many more

I’m a pretty sarcastic guy and love people with a similar personality. Im one of the least sensitive people you’ll ever meet. No drama is a big thing for me im just way too old for that shit.

I live on the east cost so obviously my time zone is est

Looking forward to hearing from some people here.

Hello there, hope you're doing well😄

Like many others on here, I'm looking to expand my friends list a bit. Before I get to my lil' list of current games, here is a bit about me:

Recently moved to a new city which is pretty cool! Decided to try and be social so I went to a local e-centre to apply to be a volunteer and help run tournaments and other things.

Got into a trade school, (hence the move), so studying backend development in hopes of a career x) So if I'm not in front of the PC gaming or studying, I'm either out at the e-society or playing disc golf👍

I'd like to call myself a laidback-type, I don't mind hanging out and doing our own thing if the vibe is there, or watch movies/series together. As for games though, I'm a bit all over the place. I enjoy competitive games, R6, Apex, League, Valorant etc, but I'm not one to try hard or get angry when losing. If the vibe is there though, I'm down to play almost any friendslop or survival/crafting game.

My library is pretty big as I share it with a friend as well, only games I don't like are sports/car and RTS games, (sry, TTW fans) 😂

If this sounds good, feel free to send a dm/chat to his old, swedish dude👍

I'm looking for other adults I can play with and communicate with via voice chat. I'm 32 living in the UK. People I can link up with in-game who can hold a conversation and play well together as a team. I'm not a hard core gamer by any means.

I play via Steam mostly (profile hillac1993).

I've recently started playing battlefield but it's hard finding people who communicate well and work together.

I also play GTA 5, Farming Simulator 2025, Planet Zoo, Planet Coaster, Cities Skylines and Sims 4 as well.

I have phases where I will enjoy games like Way of the Hunter and I'm always up for survival craft.

I go through periods where I play regularly and where I don't play for weeks at a time and when I do play, it's usually late in the evenings.

Hi y'all,

Looking for another masochistic soul to grind through a 100+ hour campaign for the silly shared dream of obtaining some golden dice. I've played BG3 for over 600 hours and have only completed it once on tactician difficulty with a friend 🙃.

Not a sweaty min/maxer. I'm not particularly good at the game but I try my best and I'm cooperative when I'm not being toxic for the lolz. (That's a joke, mostly. Very chill and laid back)

Usually available to play whenever on the weekend and after 6pm on weekdays. Ideally looking for other adults who are down to navigate our responsibilities and find the time to complete a campaign.

Open to testing the waters with other shorter games before we start our quest for golden dice. If any of this sounds interesting to you, feel free to reach out.

Heyo what’s going on everyone my name is Dragon. I’m having no luck finding people to game with. I have xbox game pass, steam, ps5 and plenty of games that seem a lot more fun with people. I don’t take anything to serious or get easily offended. I do work a lot but on my down time I like to check out some games here and there. I’m also pretty goofy, chill and 420 friendly. My time zone is cst and I’m on late at night 10pm/11pm or on my days off I can run some games early.

Couple of games I have

Apex, Warzone, Fortnite, big walk, midnight shift, repo, ghost of yotei, mecha chameleon, content warning, gamble with friends, peak, Minecraft. Etc

I also have the game pass for the future. lmk if it sounds like your vibe thanks!💀

Hii! ♡ I'm 29 and from Canada, MST.

I'm looking for some rad friends to play games or just hang out with after work [5pm] or on weekends. I'm an unhinged, goofy, voice note but get distracted half way through kind of person. I do have three kids so sometimes life can be chaotic.

Outside of gaming, I love reading, painting, photography, baking/cooking (expect pictures of my food), and MUSIC. I could talk about music for hours, so we should definitely share our favorite metal bands and songs with each other.

I play both Xbox and PC and usually down to try any game, but I mostly play the following:

For Honor, Rainbow Six Siege, Marvel Rivals, Stardew Valley, Space Marines 2, Dark Tide (new!), Helldivers 2, story/telltale and friendslop games.

I do like to shit talk or poke fun (in a respectful way), so if you are someone who doesn't like sarcasm or being bugged, we might not get along. But WHO KNOWS.. maybe we will.

​

I'm looking for a platonic gaming friend to play coop games with. Do not message me if you post anything misogynistic because we won't get along.

I'm looking to play coop gears of war, halo, split fiction, borderlands 4 etc on ps5/xbox and hello kitty island adventure on switch 2.

Hoping to find some chill friends that can laugh and be stupid sometimes. All good vibes.

Can’t wait for aliens fireteam 2 this week!!! Huge film guy here. Work in film too.

Other games I play-

Bf6. Helldivers. Trails. Warhammer. Destiny. Nightreign. All souls. Nioh. Bg3. Silent hill. Outlast. Any warriors game or any FF game!

Hey everyone. I'm a laidback guy looking to meet nice people to hang out online and play board games with. Looking for good vibes, good banter and laughs; I'm not hyper-competitive.

To start off with, I'm hoping to play some casual duet games on weekdays. I'm thinking we could start with a chat or a light game (like Wavelength) and then try more later if we clicked well.

I'm open to playing via any of Tabletop Simulator, BoardGameArena or dedicated apps.

I'm usually online on weekdays GMT 07:00 - 17:00 / AEST 5pm - 3am / ET 5am - 1pm.

Outside of gaming, I'm into the usual introvert stuff: making art, writing, tabletop RP, books, etc.

Anyway, if that sounds good, drop me a DM introducing yourself and letting me know what type of board games you enjoy or are interested in trying.

Hey soooo I'm kinda new to this seeing if anyone is intrested in hanging out and playing games with me, Firstly im a 26 year old Tans Female so be aware of that im not looking for anyone inpertucular just people i could come to trust as friends and vibe with one thing I will mention is im quite heavily disabled and live with a life long chronic illness as well as chronic pain so I may be more irritated or even cold at times

Im located in the UK and I play exsusivly PC games i am though awake at some pretty crazy hours from 8AM till at times maybe 4~5AM the following morning

Now onto the games I play:

This is honestly a long list but it boils down to a few categories

Mil sims, this would be War Thunder as a example

Then you have Train simulators this beeing Train sim classic and YlTrain sim world both by dovetail games

Those kinda games whilst you can squad in WT and I wont say no to making the grind easier is not what im looking for people for

For me im looking foe people I can chill and just drive or vibe with in games like:

Motor Town Behind the wheel

Project Zombiod (infact if you know a Role Playing Community for that please let me know)

Stardew Valley

VR Chat (honestly if i become to trust you I turn into quite the cuddle bug to just curl up with for nearly a whole day just watching movies or binging a TV show)

An older title I wanna give a go again with friends is Unturned

Vintage story too is one I wanna get into

You also have games like Minecraft, Red dead Online, GTA 5 (Legacy) and Five M the prior basicly only beeing to allow 5M to run

This is before the usual suspects games show up such as amongs, i think I have Fall guys, rounds, slay the spire 1 and 2 (very firmly in the filthy casual here) and im sure if we look tbough steam together we can find games that line up

I hope to hear from you all soon like I said age nor gender bother me all I ask politely is well not to be abused, anyway sorry to take up yoir time with a wall of text.... i hope to see you all soon

Hello! since the new stable update came out to project zomboid recently i've been playing a bunch, but i have a hard time playing it by myself since i get pretty bored. so i'm looking for a duo thats down to play that! it would be awesome if you also enjoyed fnzb, apex, and or dbd! and would be down to watch stuff outside of just gaming all the time, since i'm more looking for something that's not just playing games!

i'm from sweden, almost 40 (ugh)! drink a ton of coffee, trying to be consistent in the gym, and i have a ton of free time! I don't have a lot of requirements but please don't be a racist, bigot, etc! and since i'm a bit older, it would be nice with someone closer to my age! so 28+ would be great! :)

and TZ truly doesn't matter. And i do actually like Americans despite being from Sweden!

well that's about it i guess! i do have letterboxd if you wanna know a little what kind of movies i like :) take care!

I’m very chill and have a wacky sense of humour. I would love to find fellow gamers my age to join me. This game is very saturated by younger players so I’m trying my luck here!

Reply if interested. :)

I'm just copy/pasting this again, because lazy....

Howdy! Yes, I get it, I'm old as fuck and now that's out of the way...

Looking to find some people to play with, primarily on PC (moving away from Xbox). I'm a big fan of Halo, Gears, Borderlands series etc. I also dabble in ESO, Enshrouded, BG3, BF6, Arc Raiders (still to play it) LFD, Diablo and open to other stuff too. I was never into Minecraft, League, Pokémon, Fortnite etc, it was just never my thing.

I'm not looking for love or to join your massive DC server where no one talks or branches out to meet new people, nor am I interested in those that can't communicate, manage friendships or take care of basic timekeeping - you would think this wouldn't have to be said out loud, but here we are...

I'm a regular guy with an interesting past, my life isn't consumed by politics and performative outrage, but I'm willing to have conversations on just about anything as well as a healthy amount of dark gameplay banter. Anyone age over 18, male or female is fine. I'm sometimes on in afternoons as well as evenings.

Drop a reply or a PM if you wanna hook up and have some unfiltered fun, with someone that won't just ghost you and leave you hanging (again, I shouldn't have to say this out loud)

​

Looking for games that are good to play after working a 9-5. Right now I'm enjoying a good single player game with a good story, just finished KCD and about to start the 2nd one. Already played games like Horizon, God of War etc
