What are some eras of gaming that you've stopped feeling nostalgic for?
As I've gotten older as a player, I have found myself dropping some eras of gaming that I used to be nostalgic for. One of them is the 8-bit era, the NES days. I have played some of the best that system had to offer and I will never say that system didn't have any good games....
Patient gamers, what are your favourite city builders?
As Cities Skylines II still isn’t worth it (the sub has a regular thread about that, in summary: no it’s not: old.reddit.com/…/is_cities_skylines_ii_worth_it_m…) which games scratch your city building itch?
Is anyone still playing Command and Conquer Generals (+ Zero Hour)?
There’s a certain cheesiness and non-political-correctness that’s refreshing....
How much coffee do y'all typically drink in a sitting?
I am worried that I drink too much at once. I don’t drink coffee daily but typically when I do drink coffee I will have 4-6 shots of espresso. I am not asking if this is healthy per se, I’m more searching for confirmation that it isn’t too uncommon lol....
What's your favourite era for video games?
Era can be defined as a console generation, a decade, one specific year, whatever you want. I’d encourage you to give a list of your favourite games from the generation of choice and why it was the best to you. Nostalgia is a totally viable reason too....
The PlayStation 2

It is undeniable that the dreamcast was a solid machine that had good games and a sleek look, but was ultimately overshadowed by the goliath that is the PS2....
Older patient gamers: what is your preferred gaming platform?
I used to be a PC-only gamer but the older I get the more I gravitate toward very ‘simple’ platforms....

How to revitalize this sub?
I love the original patientgamers subreddit so I was stoked to find this community. And because lemmy seems to have a more knowledgeable crowd any topic I posted here had great engagement and discussions, despite the small community. I am too busy to be a mod but maybe I can help by sparking this discussion: what would be needed...
Games that still need more patience: what games released a year ago (or older) are you waiting for a sale on? Or that need another patch?
Other than a slew of Nintendo titles that maybe hopefully will come down in price (the patient gamers’ bane), I have my eye on the next time Divinity: Original Sin 2 goes on sale. A friend who never plays anything other than WoW loved playing Larian’s newest with me and I’m trying to get her to pick this up. Pretty sure...
What search engines are you using ?
As the title says! My choice, for now, is Leta, directly from Mullvad. I really like because there are no ads by deafult, which is particular important since those ads usually lead to malware....
SteamWorld Heist 2 - Official Reveal Trailer (www.youtube.com)
Just a few attention-grabbing retro game ads that would land studios in hot water today. (more in post body) (lemmy.world)
I know they’re insensitive and tacky, but I have to admit that a part of me misses when games ads were off the walls like this....

What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? 08 April
Finished Starsight by Brandon Sanderson. Second book in Cytoverse series. Loved the way the series progressed, though didn’t liked the post-ending much. Going to start the novella soon....
