!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 think we can both guess why our friend here is mad about this story...

Yeah. Hard to believe someone else nerdy could be happy and in a relationship when they're not.

And nerds absolutely will find each other and bond over whatever their thing is. The world is full of stories like this one. People who met their spouses in World of Warcraft, and so on and so forth.

But boy, am ever I glad us M:tG nerds had much more subtle ways to signal our dorkitude. At least I think we did.

Hmm...

Dude, we were carrying around 100+ card decks of cards, at least till we learned the game, it wasn't exactly subtle.
