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.

Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? (lemmy.zip)

We've got two big sales going on, and I'm currently deciding what I would like to pick up. I'm planning to get Expeditions: Rome since it's 60% off, and I'm trying to decide if I want to finally get Terra Invicta.

What patient games are the people here planning to pick up? Maybe I'll find a few that I "need" to try!

I'm waiting for helldivers 2 to go on sale but I think that's gonna take a while.

You're in the right community for that!

Lol, true and thanks for pointing out the sale. I'm looking for games which would run on mac nowadays

Sure, you're welcome! Mac gaming sounds like it can be rough. I game exclusively on Linux, so I'm somewhat limited, but compatibility is really good anymore. Is there a compatibility layer like Proton that you can use for Mac? It's not something I pay a lot of attention to, but I don't remember seeing a huge number of games on Steam for the platform.

Yep. like Linux, Mac recently got Wine support and can play quite a few windows games.

I'm sure that's nice! I'm guessing you probably can't push the graphics as far without a discrete GPU in most of the machines, but there's probably still decent performance.
