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 I finished Starfield. I've had an itch for more space exploration. I decided to get back into Elite Dangerous. I haven't played it for a good couple years. I bought the latest DLC for it when it was released. I just never got around to playing it. I'm absolutely loving the space legs.
I've been going from system to system. Mapping each planet and moon. Landing on those that I can. Exploring for geological features and biology samples. All while marathoning my favourite YouTube channels.

Elite and Starfield are like night and day. In Starfield, you can't actually fly through space and it's more of a decoration, while in Elite you're there from the liftoff, to the travel, to the descent.
I love Elite, but i always quit when i try to follow builds and everything requires engineering, and those are just too much of a grind for me.
