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.

Have you ever played nuclear throne? That's kinda my preferred pacing in a game, but there aren't many. I'd love a soulslike where combat was that fast and frantic, and bosses are really difficult but also die really fast if you play it right.

No, I’ve never even heard of it before. I looked it up, it does look interesting but I think it would be too frantic for me. While I do appreciate a game that is quick, since I don’t really have any time for video games these days, something that requires me to have lightning fast reflexes seems a bit too much for me at this point. On the rare occasion I get to sit down and play a game I want it to be something I don’t have to stress over too much. I happen to be pretty good at souls games so I don’t find them stressful, and otherwise I tend to play slower paced RPGs and stuff.
