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.

It's almost the week-end, what are you guys going to play? Also, could we have a monthly thread for July? (reddthat.com)

As for the monthly thread, I feel like if it doesn’t happen “officially” the first person to have something to write should just post one themselves instead of waiting. Not like there’s a lot of activity here so it should remain visible long enough to gain traction.

Hello,

It's more about pinning it to keep it visible, especially over the course of a month

I get that, it's just if there's no mod to post it I think it's better to have a topic rather than not, especially since it can be pinned afterwards if any mod stumbles into the community again.

We could also bully them into setting up a bot that would post those automatically but this might have its own issues since some people disable bot submissions.

Indeed, which is why I start this kind of threads from time to time

Much obliged for that! I often think about writing on what I'm playing but end up forgetting due to time constraints - threads like this one definitely help with that.
