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.

Games that my non-gamer girlfriend can watch me playing? (lemm.ee)

I recently finished The Last of Us 2. My girlfriend sometimes watches me play my games. And while I thought that TLoU would be a great game to follow, it was hard for her to watch (due to the violence). I wonder if there is a game that would be easy or even interesting for her to watch while I play, without it having to be something strictly "family friendly" , that also has fun gaming mechanics and isn't just a walking simulator. Looking forward to any ideas! :)

"Baba is you" the game induces the "ah-a" moment when you just came up with a solition to the puzzle. The player has perfect knowledge about the state of the game but they don't know the solution. It could be played with two heads and one controller.

imo, the funniest part of the game is listening to the player(s) repeatedly stating things from the game like cavemen

"baba is you, rock is push, water is sink... what? ok ok, rock is float.. AARGH"

I like the low ominous sound when you accidentally erase yourself.

"Ah, but what if baba is key? Oh....oh no"
