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.

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?

Currently I'm playing MDK

What a throwback, I remember playing mdk2 when I was young and being utterly confused where to go and giving up shortly after

While the second part has better visuals, the gameplay itself is not really better. You should give the first one a try.

I remember the insane parachute thing, the speculation in what it stood for (Murder Death Kill?)

I remember trying that game on GOG years after it came out, having read about it and wanting it as a kid but living in an area where finding PC games was a rarity, and unfortunately it didn't really run on modern systems.

Civvie11 did a video on it and showed that there are source ports and mods that get it running well now. I might have to give it another try.
