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.

Oo I hope it can be paused for when a customer shows up. Looks fantastic for a slow day!

(I considered MUDs but lots of people talk about how obvious the traffic is, it'd freak out I.T, blah blah blah...)

In Zen mode, you can turn off gravity ^[1.1][3]^ which is effectively pausing imo, or, you could just exit Zen (bound to Esc for me), which saves its state, and then you can just return to Zen and pick up where you left off ^[1.1][2]^.

- When I exit Zen mode, it saves the state, and resumes when I return.
