!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.

It's about having fun, not winning

Is it tho when you are taking out a second mortgage to pay for the hardware in your gaming set up?🤣 /s

I mean maybe gaming is not the end goal for those types of people. Some people just like setting up and maintaining server hardware. One of my favorite things was maintaining a Team fortress classic dedicated server. It's fun watching others have fun.

Yeah I guess you could use it for CTF in a cyber security sense as well.

I was just making a joke cuz I've never seen that much hardware in a single tower before lol but I agree with you 100%.

Yeah your joke was funny. When I worked in the data center I would see way more than that in a rack. From what I can tell it's only one server in that rack the rest is 2 drive arrays, a network switch, Two patch panels, a monitor, and an UPS.
