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.

Is anyone still playing Command and Conquer Generals (+ Zero Hour)? (lemm.ee)

There's a certain cheesiness and non-political-correctness that's refreshing.

Also discovered a few mods like Shockwave that I wanna try.

Rise of the Reds is my favorite, but Shockwave and Contra are also pretty good. Only issue I have is the performance takes a hit since the game is so heavily single threaded and the game logic is tied to the frame rate. Luckily there are a couple projects trying to alleviate that but they’re a long way from being ready. OpenSage and Thyme specifically. GenLauncher is helpful for trying out the different mods at least.

I usually end up just playing Zero Hour with a few GenTool modifications though.
