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.

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.

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.
