!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.

Some of the biggest archives around are on magnetic tape if I remember right.

God, I used to manage a data center that had a 128 tape Dell library, If I had that library today and a couple of LTO 9s in it...

I don't know what I'd do with 2.3 petabytes, and the time from request to load would be abhorrent But damn it, I would do something cool
