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.

If you're digging Duke 3D, I can't recommend Ion Fury enough. It's incredible how far their team has pushed the Build engine.

Ion Fury just felt wrong to me. Looks and feels like Duke3D, but isn't. And it's somehow missing some of that character from back in the days. Hard to explain. I'd rather recommend Shadow Warrior Classic (or the Redux Version) which also uses the Build engine, came out shortly after Duke3D and has some great humour.

I'm not in any rush, so I'll keep that in mind, but currently my plans for after I'm satisfied with Duke 3D is trying Dark Forces and the original Doom, both that I also haven't played in a few decades
