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.

Yoooo, I've been playing 3 games this week:

Uppers

A miracle happened: Steam recommended me a game I ended up actually enjoying. What an insane mess this game is ๐Ÿ˜‚ Last I played it, it had me kick someone into a flying helicopter, it exploded, and the game crashed. Absolute insanity, I love it.

Assault Android Cactus+

OK, I'm back: finally got over my gripes with the game and can officially say I've been converted to a fan. Honestly, in a world where nearly every western twin-stick shooter is some kind of rogue- variant, this game is worth supporting, even though it's old. I respect Isaac and its legion of mimics, but I find games like this and Nex Machina much more fun. Arcade design FTW ๐Ÿค˜

Gunvein

Finally went on sale! I waited for a year! Totally worth the wait! What an intense, fun game. Probably my 3rd favorite shmup on Steam, after Crimzon Clover and Hellsinker. I look forward to practicing 1CCs.
