!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.

English be like

House → Houses
Blouse → Blouses
Grouse →Grouses
Mouse → Mice

Native speakers be like "It's mice you fool! How do you not known that?"

Mice is likely the correct term as it's what was coined by the inventor, but common English often accepts both interchangeably. https://www.techtarget.com/whatis/feature/If-youve-got-more-than-one-of-them-are-they-computer-mice-or-mouses
