Patient Gamers

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.

There's not enough users yet for every community to have daily activity.

And not everyone who might like a given community, has found it yet.

The solution to both is to recommend lemmy to friends and to post stuff yourself.

It was a solid joke, my friend!

Honestly, even with the idea of daily content in mind, I would prefer that we just didn't end up making a bunch of "anyone else stopped playing games cuz job and old?" or "it's okay to quit games. Here's a bunch of totally relatable reasons why tou shouldn't have a backlog" threads and calling it content. They're unoriginal, samey, and sometimes I feel, botted.
