!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.

Hah! I like that comparison, very apt.
I am married. My wife is concerned because I enjoy and own an unreasonable quantity of video games and books; and we have a toddler with a growing interest in both as well.
My wife says that our next house won't have a library, it will just be built from books.
On the plus side, one of my favorite authors - Terry Pratchett - once said "I wouldn't want to be friends with someone who has enough room for all of their books." I would have liked to be friends with him.
That's beautiful. Also the quote makes me feel a lot better about all the books strewn about the house. Makes it seem more normal, or acceptable. Kind of flips it around to a good thing.
