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.

What do you guys use? I personally like Glitchwave for it's powerful chart building and the user reviews as a whole tend to align with my own.

Backloggd also pretty cool but a little more limited to use, and harder to dig up the old old stuff as its algorithms strongly favor newer.

Anyone else use these or have recommendations of their own?

I honestly just browse steam...

I follow games publishing pretty closely. If something seems interesting, I add it to my wishlist and forget about it.

When I feel like actually buying a new game, I open up my wishlist and sort by discount. Once you have a couple hundred games wishlisted, something is always on sale. Sometimes the steam emails that something is on sale, awakens the itch to play a particular game, too.
