!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.

shout-out to Just Cause 3 for being colorful. On an HDR display it's BEAUTIFUL. Also exploding bad guys is fun af
I must point out though ITS SO FUN
yeah, but that's a whole generation after this. most games were colorful by then. especially once hdr started to come around.
games like crysis 3 and far cry 4 really helped break the trend.
I'd say crysis is almost the exact inflection point. look at it, it still has a lot of that brown aesthetic, but it's colorful and has bright skies and giant lens flairs. the lens flairs especially became part of the norm moving forward.
It's SO CHAOTIC AND I LOVE IT
