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 have a few games that significantly impacted me, like Morrowind, so when I read someone asking a question invariably there will be a significant moment from that game that pops out at me related to their question and I will relate that in detail if that's what I think they're looking for.

I also tend to write longer responses as a habit, so I'm sure that plays into it.

I like talking about my favorite games at length. So if you give me an inch I'll take a mile haha.
