I’ve been a member of a 30+ gaming community for over 6 years now. There’s a lot of great people and you’ll find groups playing various games each night. We even have an active sim racing group that’s finishing up another race season on iRacing. It’s a discord community and if you’re interested, there’s a website you can apply. Over 30 Clan

    I think it's a neat thing but I actually hate how you need to integrate with discord to be considered. Joining a discord is one thing but I am so anti mixing services and avoid it if possible.

    Is there an alternative to be involved without linking my discord account?

    Unfortunately the community is entirely based around discord. They do a bit of screening to avoid people with lots of Steam bans, people under 30, or anyone who looks like they’d be toxic to the community. All applications are voted on by the community. It’s also a 501c non profit organization. I honestly haven’t had one negative experience with the community. I left all traditional forms of social media other than Lemmy and this discord community. Both have been fairly positive outlets in my life that I hope continue to grow and thrive.

    Just skimming their website, they sound awesome. But then I saw they focus on online gaming. That explains the rigid recruitment. I play single-player games. They don't have anything for me. But it looks neat for those who play those games.

    (I'm not the guy you've been talking to, I just happened in here, in case you see me in the message centre, wouldn't want it to be confusing.)

    I posted because I'm looking for adults to play games with. Most of the games I play are single player, but there are a few that are multiplayer that I'd like to play with other people, and most randoms you find in lobbies or in related Discords are children or just too young for me to personally relate to, so I don't really want to play with them.

    I started playing ARC Raiders recently , and I only have one friend to play with, so I've been mostly playing solo.

    I'm getting to the point where I'm not afraid of most robots, but I haven't been part of any PVP yet that wasn't just me dying before I knew who killed me. I want to explore the new map, but it's heavily PVP-oriented, so going in with a full squad is going to be more interesting.

    It’s a lot of fun with an entire group in Voice Chat. I normally shy away from PVP but so far this has felt great. It’s a nice mix of mainly PVE with occasional bursts of PVP
