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.

              Shape of Dreams: Need to scratch that hack n slash itch. D4 is boring and PoE 2 ran horrible on my machine. New game but under $15.
Cuphead: One of my kids has wanted to play this for years. Xmas present for him.
Date Everything: The other kid wants this one. Xmas present. I dunno, man.
The Seance of Blake Manor: Our family loves these kinds of games and it's one of the only ways to get us all in a room. New game but under $15.
Split Fiction: I hate the price still but my wife loved It Takes Two. Fiiiiiiine.
Duck Detective The Secret Salami: Another family game.
Echoes of the Plum Grove: I like this kinda stuff
Capcom Fighting Collection 2: Man I love Power Stone.
Astro Bot: Reviews are good enough to catch it on black friday deals.
Spiderman 2: Loved 1 and Miles Morales.

Is Seance of Blake Manor the first Blue Prince-like? I'm very hyped about it too but I'm still waiting for more than -25% off. Let me know how you like it, Blue Prince was my GOTY so another game to scratch that itch is enticing.

That's a great question. I'm not sure. I played Blue Prince and really liked it, but my family went and found Seance because they thought it was like Roottrees and Immortality.

Date Everything has the appeal of many known voice actors being involved in this silly story. It's great fun to puzzle out all the voice lines - especially if youre fan of some of the actors.

Alright, this must actually be a thing because that's what my kid said about Date Everything, too. The kid is way into voice acting.

Well, there are worse special interests. This way you'll just get a theater kid - which has its own perks at times

Boy you called that shot. That's exactly what I've got.

[–] brewbart@feddit.org 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

It takes one to know one ;) now you'll get to find out which flavor of theater kid you'll get - cosplay, writing, improv or a mixed bag

Got them the cosplay they wanted for Xmas. That’s their big gift.

And in this moment, I realized my kid fits some theater kid cosplay archetype that I didn’t know existed.
