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.

I tried a couple of times to make https://www.reddit.com/r/cuttingedgegaming/ happen, but never reached many people. This community seems to mostly folks playing 1-2 year old games, I wonder if there are more of us who are playing older (but not "retro") games, particularly PC games?

I remember the insane parachute thing, the speculation in what it stood for (Murder Death Kill?)

I remember trying that game on GOG years after it came out, having read about it and wanting it as a kid but living in an area where finding PC games was a rarity, and unfortunately it didn't really run on modern systems.

Civvie11 did a video on it and showed that there are source ports and mods that get it running well now. I might have to give it another try.
