A gaming sub 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.

Been on parental leave, for a couple of days. I hooked up the PC to the living room TV and I've been casually playing No Man's Sky. It's utterly cathartic to fly around space with a 5 day old sleeping, his chest on my belly.
Hey, congrats. Ours is due early next year so I'll be doing similar
Thanks! It's my second, the other is 6yo now. It brings me back to my first parental leave - I played through The Witcher III with my first sleeping on my belly in a similar manner haha
Congratulations to you and the mom!
Nice! How do you like No Man's Sky? I've heard it's much better now than when it was released
Can't speak for your interests obviously, but good enough for me spending a good chunk of 10h on it in the last 2 days. I'm a huge space nerd though, so the interstellar travel alone is worth it for me. The storyline is mostly a pretense for exploring, trade, mining stuff, which I don't mind at all given how pretty it can be. I also really like playing alone lol. I don't know how long it'll stick, but it's scratching an itch for the time being!
It lost its appeal for me... Every world is similar, or was when I was playing. There was no point exploring.
Same minerals everywhere, so no point going looking for something interesting either.
I guess I was hoping it would be more of a "explore and find really rare things, trade them with others at high prices" kind of a thing.
