Patient Gamers

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.

No memes please.

Hello Ex-Reddit people! (lemmy.ml)

I saw the recent API charge news with Reddit and saw that people were discussing alternatives to Reddit in the event we all have to abandon it.

Joined Lemmy here and noticed one of my favorite subreddits had no Lemmy equivalent — so I created it.

I have no desire to be a mod, so if anyone wants to take on that role just let me know.

I’m just hoping people do post here if they’re checking Lemmy out and seeing what’s available community-wise.

It's nice to see this sub exist outside reddit. Usually I'm patient on playing any new games so I can wait for them to be runnable on Linux if not native (ie, via proton)

Yeah the steamdeck has really helped in that regard thankfully.

I'm running chimeraOS on my mini gaming pc in the living room and I'm always amazed at how I almost never need to check protondb anymore and just install games and they play fine.

Yeah it has been wonderful. I'm on Pop! OS right now, and no longer have to do any dual booting for the odd game like I did before COVID.

I remember a point where I owned every game that was payable on Linux, this was even a good while after steam launched for Linux. Now that's just not possible.
