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.

It has been a while since the last one. So...

Tell us what game you are currently, or recently played, greater than 6+ months old.

If the game happens to be on sale, a link would be a plus.

Just got a new PC, and I'm running Linux as my only OS now, so I've been spinning up some of my old favourites to test things out.

Mechwarrior 5, Crusader Kings III and even a bit of Cyberpunk (technically older than 12+ months, but it doesn't feel in the spirit of this community)

How‘s CK3 running on Linux (especially lategame if you have a late savefile) and with what CPU?

It's running smooth as butter, but I haven't got any late game saves at the moment (they're all for older versions with DLC etc)

That being said, this machine is pretty grunty. Ryzen 9 7900X, 64GB of RAM and an Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Super

If you happen to get to the late game and remember this post, let me know how it goes!

Any reason you didn‘t opt for a 7900X3D?

No particular reason other than slightly more expensive
