!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.

While losers were playing video games to get their instant gratification, this winner was working towards a skill that they could use and build for the rest of their life.

Okay, let's not start throwing around unnecessary insults. Calling people "losers" because they play video games is just insulting your own customer base. I don't know anyone who develops games but doesn't play them. Let's not tar everyone with the same brush.

The whiners was called out, not gamers.

Literally the quoted text is calling out gamers, as a group. That is in a fundamentally unhelpful direction to take things in.

You are talking offense to something way off course to interpret what they are saying like that is begging to just lay bare your emotional wound from gaming your young adulthood away brother it's just not about you. Their message literally applies to this very well, you can make a change whenever. Nobody that games healthy will react like that, they are aware of both the good and bad, of which wasting is definitely a thing..
