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.

Played Pathfinder, the second one. Replayed Neverwinter Nights 1&2. Did a Legendary ME run through, because, why not? A sprinkling of Stellaris throughout, no recent expansion adds.

Checks out.

The prices are off the rails lately, and the games are not as good. I can’t justify $100 for a game alongside the electric bill and groceries.

I started Wrath of the Righteous in January and still haven't finished it :/ But I'm over 160 hours in and close to the end.

I played some other games in between, but I'm kinda impressed you beat so many beasts of games.

Hmm, I think I actually spent more time than usual playing new games this year, though one of them was the Oblivion Remaster. I really liked Avowed.
