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.

Love my PS4 (lemm.ee)

This is a little love letter to my PS4.
I bought it refurbished three years ago for a little bit more than 120 bucks. This was my first Sony device! I already had an Xbox 360 from 2013 and a Switch from 2017.
My first game was Detroit: Become Human. What an experience!
I played the Uncharted series for the first time. Then The Last of Us 1 and 2. I thought I was a grumpy old gamer but man, TLoU is something else. And then I got PSVR! So many crazy nights playing Beat Saber, Skyrim VR and Superhot VR.
I love being a patient gamer. And I love my PS4. I still have so many games to play through and it just keeps on chugging along.

You are quite the champ to willingly deal with bugs in electronics! What you did helped reduce e-waste though and enriched your niece’s gaming experience. Well done.

Similarly, I found an old original Xbox in our closet one day (it belonged to my wife’s ex and he left it behind). I dug it out, cleaned it up a bit, soft-modded it, and now I can play games from both the hard drive and some old games I bought for dirt cheap. Stuff like Doom 3, Far Cry, Streets of LA, etc.
