!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.

OOC:
Treasure this moment. One of my best gaming memories was moving into a new place with a roommate after being homeless for two weeks. We didn't have furniture, we just had a frozen pizza, a six pack, and his switch with smash ultimate on it. We played on the half all night. It was a candle in the darkness, knowing that even without much we had a roof over our heads and each other. Just pure relief and joy.
Move in floor beers are the best.
Hell yeah.
I never experienced homelessness but I was lonely growing up. I remember meeting a new kid at school and and we played Earthbound until 3am on his SNES and fell asleep feeling like I was floating because I found a friend and a cool game.
That said It was also the day I saw Starship Troopers in theaters and saw boobs for the first time so that may have been contributory. All in all though banner day.
Oh man I'd be chasing that dragon to the end of the earth
