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.

EDIT: i should've mentioned that the actual game is wii fit!!

i didn't think much of it when it came out, but i never woulda thought it could be this effective. its too bad this kind of game didn't get bigger?

I'm really bad about even consistently playing VR games for fun, let alone for exercise. But once I finally make space, boot up the gaming pc and reconnect the VR kit, it's almost always worth the effort and I kick myself a bit for not playing more often. I do have fairly annoying stick drift on my (Index) controllers though, so that strongly dissuades/prevents me from playing games that are designed around using them.

It's been a couple years since I've really played any Beat Saber, but I think my favorite custom map just for fun was "Happy" by C2C (YouTube vid [not mine])
