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.

I'm still staying with the last week's list for the most part.

I'm continuing my low combat Daggerfall ~~playthrough~~ "lifethrough". I'm just traveling around and focus on doing everyday tasks for people. It's nice.

Time management in The Sims is slowly getting easier - it's still a bit of a pain but I'm improving. I'm thinking about reinstalling TS2 to compare whether it's just me or if these parts of the game were improved there (I genuinely don't remember as it's been a while since I played the game).

I'm mostly fine with Medabots: Kabuto combat system now as it can be worked around to some extent. More surprisingly however I'm not as annoyed with random encounters in this game as I usually would be, even though games like Pokemon or Final Fantasy tend to have shorter fights overall. Don't know what's the reason for this change but I'll take it - I'd have a difficult time trying to finish it otherwise.

Last but not least, I've been playing a few games of Counter-Strike 2 here and there. I don't expect to stick with it for long but it was interesting to jump back after few years of not touching the game (the last time I did CS2 wasn't even out). I'm positively surprised I'm not complete trash despite my break though it's not like I had any expectations to begin with. No way I can compete with peeps playing it nonstop for years.

Edit: welp, I tried to run CS:GO to check out whether some of my hangups with 2 are new or existed back then but the game won't even launch. Thanks for the legacy branch Valve.
