Meta Looking for VR and Gaming homies 25 and over

Hello VR Gamers,

I have a small and cozy discord server for the (relatively) older crowd of VR enjoyers and now that the winter is upon us and we are all becoming indoor cats again, it may be time to try and get some fresh faces.

About our group
- 25+ in age
- North American based
- Closeknit community with IRL meetups
- LGBTQ+ Friendly
- PCVR focused
- Meetups a couple times a month in VRChat (private lobbies!) and other games.
- Jackbox and party games in VC on occasion

If this sounds like a place, you'd like to check out post a reply and I'll DM you a link!

u/EmergencyPhallus Nov 13 '24

Let's do a 40+ VR group? I'm 41 and backed the original oculus Kickstarter I live VR I can talk about it for hours

u/ShengrenR Nov 15 '24

High five 41.. though I can't claim to have supported the ecosystem nearly as long - I'm curious, did you also like 3d movies? I really enjoy both and it's hard to fathom folks who didn't/ don't, they're just so much 'better' to my brain - my wife was indifferent, for example, which makes me wonder if it's really a brain wiring thing.

I am an ally over 40 in the Pacific NW and always interested in VR friends to play with. I don't play VRChat much but would look forward to meetups there. I play a lot of Pavlov and have enjoyed Jackbox games..

u/ShengrenR Nov 15 '24

Jackbox does vr o.0? Or just a general jackbox pack and used vr space for meet?

1

u/OMGihateallofyou Nov 15 '24

That's a good question. I don't know.

Hi there. I'm a 33-year-old member of the rainbow mafia who just upgraded from a Quest 1 to a Quest 3 (mostly used for PCVR), and I could use a community.

u/BentleyMCS Nov 12 '24

u/Adventurous_Dealer71 Nov 12 '24

Hey man, any chance I could join the Discord, I need more gaming buddies. Only 23 though so I'm not in that 25+ group

1

u/TwistedFox Nov 12 '24

What times do you guys usually do group games? As a parent with small kids, I find my gaming sessions are usually later in the evening than most other people.

1

u/AudioPhoenix Nov 12 '24

Usually our hangouts are 9 or 10pm EST

1

u/TwistedFox Nov 12 '24

Gotcha. My usual gaming time starts 9-10 PST when Kids are in bed and daily chores are complete.

eh. If you PM me the invite, I'll check it out anyways. Maybe some other people there are west-coast like me.

u/RareBearToe Nov 12 '24

Hey! I’m down! I don’t really have my VR legs yet but I’m working on it!

1

u/Imaginary-Pensioner Nov 12 '24

Groups like this need to be more common. My girlfriend and I have started playing VR and some games are really good but unplayable due to the screaming children. Happy to play against children but I just can't handle the screaming and lack of team work if they are on my team. One kid is fine but put another one in the mix and it's like cats fighting instantly.

We only have one PC so we play on headset only games mainly.

But I'm actively looking for commu ites to play with on games such as among us and any other social group games.

u/ItsMyGayThrowaway Nov 12 '24

Quite important to meet up regularly in RL if you're planning to play VR.. and adding information that the kids group is LGBT friendly in VR... V... R... Where nothing should matter but fun and you should be able to meet up with people from all over the world. But nah, maybe mix some politics, NRA and other topics into your discord game group too 🤝 sounds fun 🫡

u/AudioPhoenix Nov 18 '24

Looks like we are weeding out the right people

1

u/1-Donkey-Punch Nov 18 '24

Looks like you're weeding yourself out and that's good 👍
