!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.

I'll teach him a lesson. As soon as my back stops hurting.

Bruh, I used to play Team Fortress Classic.

Quake TF classic.

Fucking turrets in the dark ceiling corners with just one small red light giving them away before you get mowed down by the abyss.

You probably won't. I started consistently beating my dad in Duke nukem and quake 3 matches when I was like 10. To the point where he even tried using wall hacks. Didn't help.

Those games need twitch god reflexes, but maybe your Dad just isn't good at them? I wonder how I'd do nowadays. I was alright in the couple of Duke Nukem 3D tournaments we had. Tough to get better when you had to make your modem call your friend to establish a connection for multiplayer though.

Many years ago, my nephew - having then just received his first console - asked me "Uncle, have you ever heard of an ex-box-three-six-tee?"

Mind you, I don't remember exactly when he asked me that, but I'm 37 now; I was definitely around for the 360.

Oooh, retro gaming!

Do not cite the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when the coconut was deleted.

I hopped on during election night and boy howdy, it was a time machine full of slurs. The game plays great but dear god, it was bad on voice chat.

I play ~10 hours a week and have for the past 3 years, it's no worse than any other game with voice chat in regards to slurs. Often times people will vote kick as well if someone is being a incel racist.

Although I do remember playing on election day and it was worse, so you might have picked a bad time to try playing again.
