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.

Life and Suffering of Prince Jerian.
A Really patience demanding game - even when you know the story by memory you still need to click through all the pages to test options. I played three runs in a row and don't feel like playing it for a while now. Which is probably good because it'll make it last longer.
Probably not everyone's cup of tea but I find the stat-mixing aspect of it fascinating, and I know I'm not alone because it's how other players in the discord play as well.
Today: Balatro and Anno 117
Also this week: Stardew Valley. Started yet another new save, deleted all my others; this time I will take it from start to finish without starting any new saves. (I've reached perfection once already and gotten to ginger island half a dozen times)
SDV makes you feel so good.
