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 still can't focus and I'm still jumping between games but I do have some updates so might as well post about it.

The Sims 2 and Euro Truck Simulator 2 kept their place as my primary games, with the latter edging a little bit in terms of playtime. Not much changed here.

Speaking of TS2, I tried playing it on a Steam Deck. Game runs fine, sans some short freezes when browsing through large content lists (clothes, furniture etc.) which is about what I expected from the game.
The big problem for me is controls. I tried playing around with mapping and whatnot but I just couldn't make it comfortable enough to play for longer periods of time. Because of this I'll just treat it as a failed experiment and stick to playing on my desktop.

As for new additions, I played through Umurangi Generation. It's a small indie title about photography in a "shitty future". It's a really janky yet entertaining title, with some pretty emotional moments (at least for me). I've written a longer post with my thoughts about the game if anyone wants to know more.

The last one technically counts as it released on mobile last year even though I tried out the PC demo.
Wagotabi: A Japanese Journey - is an educational RPG about learning Japanese. It's cute, fun to play and seems to have an interesting (and enjoyable) approach to learning. Only demo is available on PC at the moment but it I definitely liked what I played so far. It can be found on both Itch.io and Steam.
