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.

How do you like to approach writing about games?

I've noticed there are some folks writing at length here on their experiences playing games, so this felt like a good place to ask. Do you take notes as you play, and/or after each session, then write out full thoughts upon completing a game?

Or are your reflections compiled only after finishing a game, no notes?

I've dabbled with different approaches, and haven't really settled on a consistent process personally.

I’ve never really written about a game, but I’m admirative of people who are able to while still enjoying the game.

The only time I tried it was on Reddit to try to redeem Dead Space 3 and encourage people to still try despite what they could hear about it. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t well written at all, but it was really sincere as I enjoyed the game 😅

Never written about games, but when I do have notes I want to remember, in the past few years I've been using Logseq to jot down something on the day's journal, and tag it with a topic.

Because it's search capabilities, I find I actually go back to my musings when I need them.
