!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

TIL Tetris is from USSR. Aswell as that the pieces in it are called tetrominos.

Did you never play with sound?

Response: What do mean? It plays the Tetris theme.

The first version I played was the Commodore 64 version by Mirrorsoft, which actually didn't use the Russian imagery.

The soundtrack was an epic 25 minute synth prog metal odyssey.

Commodore 64 is a very cool computer.
