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.

As Cities Skylines II still isn't worth it (the sub has a regular thread about that, in summary: no it's not: https://old.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylines/comments/1ch6lup/is_cities_skylines_ii_worth_it_megathread/) which games scratch your city building itch?

skylines 1, factorio (its not quite a city builder but close enough), oxygen not included, sim tower (the elevator simulator)

I just found out last week factorio is on a system that I own. Turns out there was a major addiction missing in my life.

As a programmer, I knew I would enjoy it. What I didn't realise was that in just a week it would literally make me better at my job.

I'm playing the game, and solving problems for work, I'm working, and solving problems in the game, in a huge feedback loop.

Can a video game make you better person? I'm not sure, but if they can, this and Kerbal Space Program are the ones to do it.

I love SimTower. I’ll pull it out from time to time.

I went looking to see if there were subsequent clones in the "Sim Tower" at one point, and was kind of surprised that it didn't really take off after the Yoot Tower sequel.
