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.

In the context of the leaked Warcraft II remake, do you still trust Blizzard to produce good games? (lemmy.cafe)

The most amazing part was the claim that the in-game soundtrack was reencoded as lossless audio.

I looked at the new audio as a spectrograph and compared it to the original MP3s. Not only were they the same level of compression as the originals, they were the same exact graphs. The same files, renamed from .mp3 to .flac.

That’s some proper gaslighting!

Well yeah - they recorded the MP3s as lossless audio, clearly
