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 tried a couple of times to make https://www.reddit.com/r/cuttingedgegaming/ happen, but never reached many people. This community seems to mostly folks playing 1-2 year old games, I wonder if there are more of us who are playing older (but not "retro") games, particularly PC games?

yeah, it was really good. i'm not usually an fps person, but i am a fan of dieselpunk[^1] which is why it was on my backlog.

it's very much not what i expected — i was expecting something similar to doom 2016 — but it's actually much more (optional) stealth-focussed. i don't mind that though, it had some very interesting ideas and mechanics; and i really enjoyed it

edit 13 days later: wait i missed half of your question (sorry). it's probably too late now, but i played it on pc - i can't remember whether i was running windows or linux or that point - it ran fine, and i know someone with a far less powerful pc than me who said it ran much better than doom 2016
