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.

Busy week.
Started with Team Fortress 2. Basically I was looking for a pvp game to scratch the itch. Many of the current ones suck terribly. Either weird and unreasonable requirements with full access to PC data or plain bad gameplay.With TF2, it's steam so they're kinda lawful evil about it.
But I do suck at the game. Completed the tutorials, played against bots a bit, then went into a regular match. Ended with 16 kills and 32 deaths, most of the better ones had over 40 kills. It's good enough to slap the pvp itch away from time to time.
Found an Eternal something game, Korean isometric battle royale. Can't remember the name, but it's alright. Many characters, currencies, micro transactions as is standard. A forced tutorial that's kinda annoying. A solo mode that doesn't work. And only one regular match with bots before being thrown into hell.
I'll probably get frustrated quickly enough and quit, but for now it's fun.
Through family share, Ghost of Tsushima was recommended and I'm still on Act 1. It's big in size. As with all games, I'm really bad at parrying so that's not good.
A fun thing i enjoyed was when I met enemies on some cliffs and dropped on them to assassinate. I don't know if it's fixed to that area or to a number of kills, but the interruption made me chuckle.
The default enhanced visual settings make the game look crappy though for my hardware, so I had to disable a lot of the extra options. Like during cinematics, the background would get patchy, blotchy, low res dissonant kinda way. It was distracting.
Other than games, I've been running old sci-fi (50s-60s) movies in the background. Though rare, it's funny to hear when some actors are quite bad at saying their lines.
I really enjoyed reading your comment, I like your writing style. Even though I can’t relate to any of the games you mentioned I still had fun reading it anyway. And your paragraph dividers are neat. Haven’t seen that used before.
What movies have you been watching? I’ve been wanting to get more into old sci-fi movies.
