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.

This week I finished "Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark" (EGS freebie) and launched my first rocket in "Factorio". Both are great games.

For Darkside Detectives, the site nicegamehints.com was really useful. It contains a lot of hints for games that help you without spoilering stuff for you. Great if you get really stuck.

Factorio was great too. I will definitely be playing more of it, but I'm taking a break to prevent burning myself out. I finished with every research unlocked and a Spidertron built. I used zero imported blueprints. But my factory was structured in such a way that it was impossible to grow much further without tearing most of it down (scaling up oil is hard!).

For now I'm playing "Far Cry: Primal" which I had in my backlog for some time. The first few hours have been fun but installing almost made me refund it. Ubisoft Connect is horrible and the service wouldn't sent me the confirmation mail I needed. And after that the game bugged out on my high DPI display, until I figured out how to change display setting without a mouse. I'll think twice (nay, thrice!) about buying a Ubisoft game in the future.
