Patient Gamers

8927 readers
1 users here now

A gaming sub 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 saw the recent API charge news with Reddit and saw that people were discussing alternatives to Reddit in the event we all have to abandon it.

Joined Lemmy here and noticed one of my favorite subreddits had no Lemmy equivalent — so I created it.

I have no desire to be a mod, so if anyone wants to take on that role just let me know.

I’m just hoping people do post here if they’re checking Lemmy out and seeing what’s available community-wise.

Remember kids. It only works if you stay here.

Patient Gamers was one of my favorites too - I might repost some of my reviews here to add some content

[–] Subtex@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Please do! That would be great!

I've always valued the perspectives, reviews, opinions and recommendations of the members of r/patientgamers to help me find new gaming experiences.

Thanks for creating this community.

Over 90% of my Reddit access is through a 3rd party mobile app; the future for this is looking a bit bleak.

I’m testing the waters of Lemmy in the unlikely event that the Reddit admins and the majority of users notice that it's shooting itself in the foot with these changes to the API access policy.

Hi! Thanks for this and great to see some promising participation and posts already and it feels like a new home

[–] Reddit_Refugee2023@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Nice, glad to see this community here.

Nice idea to recreate the good communities that were nice on reddit, the most important thing is to have those subreddit equivalents, and people to participate and trying to makes those communities thriving.

Welcome! I hope more ex-redditors will join here. Lemmygrad is for mostly far-left.

[–] Lowbird@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Like, anarcho-socialist far left, or "making excuses for nominally 'communist' dictatorships" tankie far left?

Regardless, beehaw seems cool so far also. I'm feeling hopeful overall!

Marxist-Leninist mostly, that instance is designed for them.

patientgamers is one of the best gaming subs on reddit, good to see it here as well. Thanks for creating it.

It's nice to see this sub exist outside reddit. Usually I'm patient on playing any new games so I can wait for them to be runnable on Linux if not native (ie, via proton)

[–] flibbertigibbet@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I remember a point where I owned every game that was payable on Linux, this was even a good while after steam launched for Linux. Now that's just not possible.

Love the patient gamers subreddit but considering this community is so large already, I think I might make this my new home regardless of what happens to the subreddit. I hope others decide the same, perhaps we can start getting some good recurring posts and organized content to kick start this place.

In the meantime I’m gonna try and put forth some nice conversations in the comments.
