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.

Since the normies are starting to do their GotY thing.

I think mine's Hardspace: Shipbreaker, although 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim continues to grow on me.

I finally got around to playing the Mass Effect trilogy (the Legendary Edition remasters, anyway). It's excellent.

In 2011, I gave up on ME1 after getting to a very difficult combat encounter that I was not prepared for and having no other saves to go back to. I essentially rage-quit the trilogy for over 10 years, lol.

Still about halfway through ME3 but I am already planning my second playthrough. Truly a God-tier set of games, IMO.

I've been nibbling at these recently (although in my case it's a replay). I'm a little bummed that no one ended up finishing the same-gender romance mod for this version of ME3 but otherwise I've been having a great time with it. I still think ME2 and ME3 are among the best RPGs I've ever played.

The Citadel DLC is still the best DLC I've ever played in any game, by a mile.

I've been using a mod to romance Jack as FemShep in ME3 and it seems to work fine if that changes anything for you.
