!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.

Personally I feel that games are just one form of entertainment among many, it's not all that uncommon for people to have points in their life where binging tv-series or reading books can feel more novel and interesting. It's also possible that one finds a new hobby or interest that develops in to a obsession taking most of the free time with it.

Sure as an adult you'll have more responsibilities and less free time to play but I feel that at least for millenials and zoomers gaming in some form or another will persist throught our lives. For some it may be few hours a day, for others it may be few hours a month but it'll still feel good to pick up that new/old title and have some fun.

Art is essential to the human experience.

Just because we like a newer kind of art doesn't change anything about that
