Patient Gamers

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 commander Shepard, and THIS is my favorite community in Lemmy.

I'm commander citadel and this Shepard is my lemmy

I'm Shepard commander, and this is not a geth infiltration on the Citadel

I'm so patient, I didn't understand who commander shepherd was a reference to until this year when I tried Mass Effect for the first time. For some reason, I thought it was a weird reference to the Shepherd on the TV show Firefly.

Im patiently waiting for my turn to say I appreciate this community

[–] Lakija 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I appreciate you for being so patient waiting to appreciate everyone. That’s why I love this community.

What’s the rush on appreciating their patience so soon? You don’t have to do it day one. It’s not going anywhere and you can appreciate older patiences in the meantime.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I'm still on the fence about when you jump in. For now, have this low effort post and know that it's in the backlog.

Heyyy thanks for posting this, now I know this community exists! I'm hoping to maybe finally crack open "Stray" this weekend, bought it on release week!

[–] SuperApples 2 points 1 year ago

Haha, same here! Now I'm subscribed, but not toooo disappointed I didn't know this community existed earlier, because I'm a patient lemmy user. I've conquered my FOMO!

I’m glad you enjoy it! If you ever have any suggestions for the community let the mod team know. You can PM me at any time, or feel free to make a post in here at any time and one of us will see it pretty quickly since we’re on opposite sides of the world.

No doubt, ~~Procrastinating~~ Patient Gamers are so wholesome.

Hey there. It's-a me, Mario. I just want to thank you for sharing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

High5, I feel relaxed and happy reading and commenting here.

And lots of cool recs, I'll be playing alien isolation for the first time because of a post I saw in this community.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah! I loved patient gamers on reddit and this community definitely has the same vibe! Looking forward to talk about my opinion on Xenoblade 2 once I finish it!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hold on now, I'm still working on Xenoblade 1. :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I love that game!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Patient gamers unite! 🙂

I'm so glad to see that it's here. I didn't know it but I've been missing it!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's a great one indeed!
