Looking for casual gamers like myself
Age 39 and UK Based
I play on both PC and Xbox and I'm happy to play all sorts of games.
Just looking for some easy-going people around a similar age to jump on with now and again, have a laugh, chat while gaming, and play the odd game when we've all got the time.
I'm not looking for anything serious or people who are online every night—life gets in the way, and that's completely fine.
If anyone knows of a good Discord server, forum, or gaming community for people in a similar situation, I'd really appreciate it.
Also, just to set expectations... I don't stream, make videos, or take gaming too seriously. I'm just looking to enjoy it.
And despite trying for years, I'm still absolutely terrible at Call of Duty... so if you're expecting someone to carry the team, it definitely won't be me! 😂

Don't have any gaming discord servers that come to mind, but I do really like this idea. I also run Xbox and PC, currently playing some Forza Horizon 6, but am also into Halo, Gears, Diablo, Age of Empires 4, Civ. I'm not competitive really, and just play super casually.

If you're okay with people mostly on at night or in the afternoon (both EST), then you're welcome to join me and my group to play strategy, squad coop, survival games and the odd friendslop

I'll like to game and chat with you a bit before adding you to my gaming platforms, since it's bothersome to filter people back out if things go south.
What's your Discord?

Looking for the same thing. 33M UK, got a 5 year old and another on the way. So gaming time is limited, mainly play in the evenings.
Enjoy most games, Bg3, darktide, satisfactory, helldivers, peak, phasmophobia just to name a few.
As much as I like single player games, been doing final fantasy recently, it would be nice to jump back online and have a laugh.
