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.

If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save? (sh.itjust.works)

Assuming the equipment was also saved so you could still play the games, and every game in existence you don’t mention gets permanently destroyed, and no new games are ever to be made.

Inspired by a video by OutsideXbox from a few years ago, I thought it would be a fun idea to see what this community would choose. You can choose to be selfish and pick games you personally want to always play, or try to figure out what games would be best chosen for humanity to save for whatever reason. I’d also love to hear why you chose your games. Do they have a special meaning to you? I want to hear your stories.

I recently started it with the caveat that I'm not allowed to pay without my brother. So he comes by once or twice per month and we go crazy for a few hours.

If I did it myself I'd lose my job.

I think you may have made a typo of "pay" instead of "play" :) Either that or I'm mistaken about what kinda game factorio is...

Yeah you can. For us it worked because we focus on different parts and then meet up, discuss and give feedback or help.

But you need to do it with someone you get along well with.
