!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.

See, I like the skill, physical endurance or patience to properly speedrun a game.

But I will play a game on autopilot over and over again. Call it... I don't know, speedjogging a game? Speedstrutting? Power speedwalking?

In any case, there are many situations where I will gladly play through Streets of Rage in half an hour instead of barely making it through the tutorial of whatever the current epic is. I feel at peace with that.

This was me until I discovered randomizers. The same game you know, but things changed enough to feel fresh.

I spin up a Link to the Past rando a couple times a month because it only takes about 2 hours to finish one.
