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.

Could be a console startup, title screen, intro cutscene, etc. I just got wired off an energy drink so I apologize in advance if this post is unhinged.

I personally associate it with Kirby Super Star's intro, the Sega CD boot screen (non-US, I associate the US ones with Christmas), and the original Xbox startup.

Kids these days will never know the relief of hearing the swooshing sound when you finally see the Playstation logo after praying for a disk to read

God, yes. Keeping your fingers crossed the whole time.

That was me and Jak 3 on PS2. It was a copy a friend had let me keep because I kept playing it all the time at their house. It was scratched a bit so every often it just wouldn't start.
