I tried a couple of times to make https://www.reddit.com/r/cuttingedgegaming/ happen, but never reached many people. This community seems to mostly folks playing 1-2 year old games, I wonder if there are more of us who are playing older (but not “retro”) games, particularly PC games?
yeah, that’s basically when i play most aaa games - when the mood takes me, but mostly ~10 years old. i’ve just recently finally played wofenstein new order, followed by the tomb raider legend trilogy (they’re really short), and i’ve now started on the tomb raider survivor trilogy
indie games i tend to play a bit sooner; partly because they’re cheaper and partly because i feel they’re more likely to use (and need) the money to make more games. although the last indie game i played was fez, and the dev of that has quit completely…

Was it good? What system did you play it on? Wolfenstein, I mean.
yeah, it was really good. i’m not usually an fps person, but i am a fan of dieselpunk[1] which is why it was on my backlog.
it’s very much not what i expected — i was expecting something similar to doom 2016 — but it’s actually much more (optional) stealth-focussed. i don’t mind that though, it had some very interesting ideas and mechanics; and i really enjoyed it
edit 13 days later: wait i missed half of your question (sorry). it’s probably too late now, but i played it on pc - i can’t remember whether i was running windows or linux or that point - it ran fine, and i know someone with a far less powerful pc than me who said it ran much better than doom 2016
