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?

Yeah I can imagine over watch mind breaking you especially with the "new" one. If you like multiplayer games rainbow six siege is pretty much the best competitive fps on the market.

Hey friend, long time no see, but yeah it's worth about that much because you have to grind or pay for a million extra operators. My recc just either buy the meta ones or ones that look fun to play. Given that they do give you a few depending on the edition and the older ones are much cheaper in terms of in game grinding.

Sadly my laptop is making weird noises. Brrrrrrrrrrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrrtrtrtrtrtttrtr. I think the fan is filled with dust. But I don't know how to open it without breaking it so I haven't done it. I'm in pain.

If the fan itself is worn out you will need to replace it, broken fans make the wildest of noises.
