!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 generally really don't like when people call me by my username in voice chat. Text is fine, but the moment I'm on a call with someone I'm telling em my first name because "hey flash" sounds really awkward

I’ve been called Seal Since the 90s, it seems natural to me.

The odd thing was back when my brother used my computer to play and everyone was calling him Seal. I’d hear that and it felt so strange. If the two of us were in a lobby right now and someone were to say, “yo seal!” we’d probably both reply.

I’d often hear, “who playin? Is it big Seal or little Seal?” “Umm, big Seal I guess.”

That's pretty cool, had a friend have a similar situation where he used to play on his brother's account (which had his brother's real name) and he got pretty attached to it
