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.

Not me, but over the weekend a buddy of mine asked me which Zelda is best to play all the way through. He's never played a Zelda game before. So he's emulating Ocarina of Time on Steam Deck and I'm following his progress through it.

He's committed himself to not looking anything up, though he's allowing himself to ask me for hints which I'm gladly giving. I feel like the Nintendo Power Line guy.

He keeps me updated with these little gems every now and then like "this owl is really annoying" and "fuck Mido, all my homies hate Mido" which I'm really appreciating.
