!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 actually prefer my in game name, enough to use it at coffee shops when they call my name. I also meet up with my online friends often enough that it's not too weird.

My gamer names are all based on an old nickname I got in the service. I'd just assume it was one of my navy buddies.

My screen name is a meth joke. When I hear it irl I just assume they're talking about a meth head.

Imagine how it would be for lemmy legend SatansMaggotyCumFart to be called by that name :o

My hometown is a meth joke. They could be talking about that.
