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.

Mirrors edge. Started a few weeks ago and been getting a couple of sessions in since. Its quite fun but also very frustrating. The controls are almost there but its just janky enough for me to die stupidly at the same spot over and over if it requires some combination of actions that is difficult. I somehow survived jumping from a subway cart to another without understanding how i actually was supposed to do it properly. And the combat i dont like. But will likely try to play thru it.

I also just discovered that xenia has a linux build now so i will be exploring some x360 games in the near future to see the state of it.

Xenia was one of the few programs I kept windows for, good to check it off the list. I'll definitely be downloading and tinkering with it soon

I hope you have fun with mirrors edge! I loved it when I played it a couple years ago. The sequel is fun too.

Good to know about Xenia on Linux. I’m looking into switching away from windows soon, so that’s useful information. I’ll be sure to check out Xenia on Linux when I end up switching.
