A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Also, I’m playing around with what day of the week to post this, and seeing what days get the best interaction. If you have a preference, please let me know!

Still playing through 2016 Doom. In my defense, this hasn't been a great year for carving out time for gaming. I realized a couple days ago that I hadn't even played anything in over a week (Dec 30th was the last day I'd played a game). Sad times being an adult with responsibilities.

Anyway, I'm hoping I finish the game soon. I don't know if it qualifies as "patient gaming", but I bought the Castlevania Dominus collection in 2024, which is the PC/Steam collection of DS Metroidvania Castlevania games. I played these games on the DS back in the day, still have them and my old DS, but I'm looking forward to playing them again. I mostly game on the Steam Deck these days and I think these games are a good fit for that hardware. They're all really fun games that I look back on fondly, so here's hoping I can get started on at least one of them in the next few weeks or so before my gaming season comes to an end.

I feel you, man, being an adult can suck sometimes. It gets really busy, especially if you have additional responsibilities (partner, pets, kids). Not saying that’s a bad thing, I wouldn’t change anything and am happy with my additional responsibilities, but it does definitely limit the free time
