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?

It was an official thing, and the only way to play Final Fantasy XI, since the game had to receive updates. The HDD has to be a 3.5" SATA drive to slot in properly. I looked around for one adapter 3.5 to SD adapter, but finding a used 500gb drive was cheaper.
