!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.

unpopular opinion: this phrase is right, sometimes. In that context, at that conference, bad call. But sometimes... people think they want something until they get it, and then they realize they don't want it.

How you phrase things is also important. Never having played WoW, they came across as arrogant and out of touch. Something that's only been reinforced by their further actions. The "Do you guys not have phones?" comment is just the sequel. The issues only be more and more serious since then.

Makes me think of that Reddit post where the guy thought he was into shitting and ordered an escort to shit on him, only to realise he was in fact not into shitting
