Old Gamers is a community for people who like to play games but may not have as much time as they did or like to play different titles and at different speeds with more maturity. You do not have to be old to join in. It is all in the mentality.

Out of this community.

I made it for the hell of it. A way for people who play games. Feel old. Do not have much time to play. May have too much time to play. Are looking for more co op or engaging games. Are looking for high quality engaging content. Are looking to recapture the excitement of waiting for the cassette tape to load. Are waiting for the game to download to then play. Are looking to scratch an itch gained in days past. Remember community and what it can mean. Want to build and think.

Thoughts?

I want to build a community that just understands each other and respects each other and wants to enjoy talking about things like it was the early internet.

Looking at above comments I may be an idealists. :)

Hello,

Found this community on [email protected]

Isn't it close to [email protected], which is already established? Seems like having one community rather than two would be better due to the current small Lemmy userbase

Possibly. But I am not patient.

Interestingly enough, I checked the weekly thread here, all the games mentioned were older than 12 months (so "patient") with one exception, Enshrouded

Satisfactory just released with 1.0 and factorio dropped a dlc. This caters for all games new and old. It is more about the gamers who are older/mature and may or may not have much time to play. Waiting for a game is optional. So if people want to talk about COD black ops 6 they can go for it.

Speaking of which I may give it a run. Have not played a COD game for a while.
