!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.

All digital games can be physical if you source them properly..

They're all physical if you go far enough - they're just not on your phsycial medium (yet)...

Physical games are a lie. What you want is drm free digital games! Best of all worlds.

No no no. I want a bunch of little tiny plastic and cardboard pieces that take forever to arrange and pack up when I'm done. I want text that's too small to read. I want a rules book that I need a degree in to properly interpret. And only ever want to play during the handful of times a year I can get everyone around the table together.

Digital games on console - shit

Digital games on steam - sexy

Amount of times Steam has made me have any semblance of concern for the continued playability of my library over 19 years: 0

I enjoy the convenience of digital games. I don't like having to figure out which case my kids put a game in because they sure as shit don't put them back in the right one.

Is this about digital downloads vs. physical media for video games, like most seem to be assuming, or is it about video games vs. board games?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

That's what I was thinking. Getting together to play physical games with friends > digital games.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Is this digital vs physical as in video games vs tabletop? Or is it "digital copy" vs "physical installation media"?
