!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.

Frontier: First Encounters (Elite3), (and Pioneer Space Sim (still playing)). -- Found my safe space via such game. I go out into space, for my safe space. Life changing.
Soul Calibur. -- I discovered it's like chess, and there are depths to excellence. And, I don't know how causal/influenced by it that I ended up basically looking like my fave character from it. LOL. Deep metaphors and synchronicities in it too. Life changing.
Diablo 2: Lord Of Destruction. -- Ate up a huge chunk of my life. [Eventually] Learned the empty dopamine addiction hole's to be avoided. Basically the game that stopped me being "a gamer" (as if I ever really were ~ was just a diablo2 addict). Found hanging out in the arcane sanctuary, the atmosphere, helped me sleep. n_n Life changing.
Minetest (now called "Luanti"). -- Designed my house in it. LOL. Life changing.
