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.

Yeah, between a full time job and having a family of my own, especially since my little one is only a year old, I’m lucky to get 1-2 hours in a week, and many weeks I won’t even have time to play at all. I might go a month or two without touching a game.
That’s fair. I’m more into medieval fantasy games, so I mostly play Elder Scrolls, SoulsBorne, etc games. But I do love other genres too, just not as much.
Well, you win some, you lose some. I can only imagine how fulfilling having a kid can be (or at least seems to be based on watching my friends). Besides, kids grow up fast - you'll have plenty of time for games before you know it.
While I prefer modern/light sci-fi settings, I don't really mind fantasy in general. I just don't really vibe with Skyrim specifically and, unfortunately for me, it has the biggest mod scene within the series so it's much easier to find mods I like compared to older titles.
