!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.

Let it die.

kinda unrelated but I'd love it if valve sold physical copies of their games to use with the successor to the steam deck

That's not my favorite AAA company, it's my favorite AAAA company!

Also, the bit on the right is from a rather shitty looking, "anti woke" site.

Ubisoft always reminds me of an old pun my Latin teacher taught us: Semper ubi sub ubi. Always where under where.

A shame; the way they make their open worlds with lots of little things to collect and do are oddly pleasant to play for that. Definitely something only I really enjoy, I realize, of course.

I mean that’s a whole genre. The same could be said for Stardew Valley and that has a huge fan base.

More games should have the “lots of little things to collect and do” mechanic.

Agreed. One reason I loved Majora's Mask was that the game was dense. Every square inch of the game was used for something and in a lot of different ways. I also appreciated a checklist for my collectables so I could pinpoint what I was missing, but that's rather off topic. I lean way away from open world games now both for excessive time commitment and most of it is just empty space.

My steam and backloggd descriptions have been "fuck ubisoft" for a while.

Really sad because Ubisoft can make games, good ones even. But with out the freedom or time and now talent best they can do is movie licensed games.
