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.

Games with characters you miss most after completion. (sh.itjust.works)

It's a bitter sweet feeling afterward, but I love it when a game has characters where, after the game is over, I miss seeing a part of their lives. Be it due to the characters themselves or the interaction they have with one another, exiting their world feels more like a loss than when normally putting a story away.

Are there any games where you experienced similar? While it can be a bitter sweet feeling, I know that it is a sign that I really enjoyed what I was playing and love to find these experiences.

I remember the first time I completed RimWorld. Kept all three OG colonists alive. Two of them got married. The husband was an old farmer, had dementia, bad back, and was eventually bedridden for a long time. His wife was a doctor and she'd visit the hospital everyday to check up on him. The third colonist, Oneesan, became a Countess and was so full of herself that she never worked. She spent her entire day meditating in her throne room.

Also shoutout to Tracker, a recruited waster, who did some of the craziest shit like single handedly stopping a siege with a sniper rifle, and breaking up a fight between us, mechanoids, and pirates with a rocket launcher.
