Elder scrolls show probably not happening

Todd asked about the possibility of an Elder Scrolls Series, he said probably a no. Doesn't want it to be forced for the sake of having a show.

Personally I think this is a good approach to it, what about you?

I'm a mid thirties gamer with a channel that specializes in games that have been out for a few years (and sometimes much more) so people can find something new to them to pick up without paying new release prices (or having new release bugs). This is the latest upload - Vikings Wolves of Midgard

So, I have community of Gamers who just happen to be 30+....

Hi Everyone I run a community for mature gamers and creatives, initially rooted in GTA Online in 2013 but now expanding into something unique. We're in the rebuilding phase and support game modders (ethical), game devs, artists, and most importantly GAMERS who are seeking a break from daily stress. We're also cultivating a VR group. Our focus is on forging lasting friendships in gaming, not fleeting connections.

You might like this group IF

  • You want a group of players with a decent level of maturity
  • You want long-term gaming friends, and not fly-by-night LFG groups
  • You desire a larger pool of VR gaming partners.
  • You're in search of a platform to showcase your creativity, whether in the realm of art, game development, or other forms of expression.

I completely forgot to mention the website. Our discord is listed there: ViceGamers.com

I finally convinced my Dad to switch to PC but...He's not great at gaming.

I finally convinced my dad to switch to PC. He did it and we tried playing dauntless and it was so complex he struggled the whole time. I never considered complexity of gaming because I game more than I work some weeks lol but I'm also not over 30. Suggestions on what we can play together?

LF Warcraft friends, and maybe X-Box

I'm trying to get back into playing Warcraft and the thing that keeps driving me away from it is lack of friends playing and trying to always find a new group to fit in with.

I'm a casual player who's main focus is social and mythics, and maybe raiding with the right group, but definitely in that order.

I need friends and social activity in the game to keep me active. I would like to find a group of friends to form a dedicated mythic group with but that's icing on the cake.

So I guess the one requirement that I'm looking for in a friend is that you play Warcraft. I also play Xbox, but so do all of my real life friends, so you would be involved in a group of people with more than just me if you want to play Xbox.

Things about me that might be important..... I'm 40, I'm very much a live and let live person, I am sarcastic with a dark sense of humor and will probably tease you about anything and everything but I'll be the first one in your corner fighting for you. I would like to find a diverse group of friends but bear in mind..... Sarcasm with dark sense of humor.... I can't put too much of a point on that one because that is me and my group of friends. And the group of friends I have is a mix of guys and girls.

If you have any questions or seem interested let me know.

Mouse and Key in youth vs Controller now

I was a hardcore mouse and key gamer during my Diablo 2 days in high school. Now that I'm getting close to 40 my hands just hurt, I only play controller, thank god for D2R. Do any of you guys still play mouse n key? I feel like everyone will eventually end up on controller again after the pain of mouse and key takes over.

Created my first Let's Play video (FFXVI) at 34. Let me know if you have any questions about setting up audio, webcam, capture cards, etc. Would appreciate feedback also.

https://youtu.be/YzsKAPWX8HA

Here's the video.

I was surprised how stable it ran considering my pc isn't the latest. Specs below if you are interested.

I used Elgato 4kPro mk.2 & Elgato Chat link Pro. It was a nightmare to setup but finally got it up and running after about 2 days of tinkering. I'm using OBS to record at 1440p. I'm also using 2 1440p monitor running at 144hz. Getting the audio to work was the hardest part of this whole setup. Elgato does not make it easy to do this.

Console: PS5
Mic: Yeti X
Webcam: Logitech c920
GPU: RTx 2060s

Hello! Just wanted to keep this subreddit alive. What was the first game you ever played? My first was duck hunt on Nintendo…unless you count Passport to Paris or the 7th Guest on floppy disc and CD-ROM. Does that make me an OG PC player even though I only play console now? haha.

Is this Reddit dead ?

New here (34m) , lookin’ for other gamers over 30 to play with. I’m actually a pretty good gamer. I play a lot of Apex (current Diamond 3 solo) & recently got back in GTA V. I haven’t played Madden or 2k ever since Apex was released, but I can still play them. Oh, I’m console (Xbox) by the way…

I’ve always been playing against kids and it’s just annoying. Don’t have the time to argue or yell at somebody else’s children, lol. Anyone down to game in the near future !? lol

Need a game to keep me hooked...

49 y/o gamer, have gamed all my life and even though I am consistently underwhelming at it, I love it anyway.

Looking for a game to obsess me. Loved Fallout, Uncharted, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, RDR. Something with a decent story, original, and not just based on the 'beat the boss' mentality. Don't mind grinding away at crappy quests as long as I'm rewarded. Any thoughts ? PS5 mainly but also PC

And if there's any other shit older gamers out there, who want to get shot and teabagged by 16 year old sweats on Warzone etc, let me know. Could do with more similarly poorly-skilled friends to play with, who just want a chilled laugh.

Gaming over 30 discussion

I am curious to know what games you guys dabble in if any and if games are still a part of your every day life.

Games I still play sometimes and enjoy: LoL, Among Us, Super Animal Royale, DST, Overcooked, and occasionally the PKM franchise.

I work a full time job with 1 day WFH. I find maybe 1-2 hours a day if I am lucky to get games in, and sometimes I go about a week without playing any games :( Even though it is always on my mind. But caring for pets, working FT, managing a boyfriend, grocery shopping cooking and meal prepping, and finding time to workout makes it very difficult to play.

A lot of my discord groups are all dead or friends of my age (over 30) have now dissipated with newfound family/relationships/kids/work etc. They don't seem to have time for games anymore. If I ever do end up joining or participating in active discord groups I am usually the odd one out since everyone else is 19-24 age range.

30+ Gamers feel like a dying breed. It's depressing.

Looking for gaming friends

Hey guys, I’m looking for some new people to party up and play games with. My current friend group consists of my ex and his friends. So I’m trying to branch out and meet new people. I’m 36F and I play on Xbox. I have gamepass and the games I frequent most lately are Destiny 2, COD Cold War/MW multiplayer, sea of thieves, overwatch, and back 4 blood. I usually play between 6pm-10pm EST. I have other games too.

Looking for chill adult friends who will actually play with me and not sit idly on my friends list. Best if you don’t mind foul language and an occasional “that’s what she said” joke.
