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?

For half a year, my daily workout routine was ~half an hour of Beatsaber on Expert+, and then one run through the campaign of Pistol Whip (first one). I should get back into that...

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])
