!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.

I just finished my Windows XP build, and have been enjoying FO3 again the way it was meant to be played.

We didn't realize we were in a golden age, did we? /old-man-noises

I knew we were in a golden age when The Orange Box came out. A red letter day in gaming.

The golden age of gaming was the late SNES/early playstation era.

Graphics were beautiful, games were long and generally had incredible, immersive, and even heart wrenching stories.

Unlike today, where the focus on hyperrealism, generally at the expense of story and definitely performance. but hey, its only 6 hours long and you get to pay 80 dollars for it, so thats great, right?

The golden era depends on your personal preferences. What you said is true, but golden era for MMOs was early 2000s to early 2010s, and for me personally it was during that period

This hurts me. Why would you do this?

[–] absentbird@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

I am fueled by your fading sense of youth.

I remember me and my friends being so hyped for Brawl, and then gutted when it got delayed for another year
