!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.

Idk if I'm finally getting old or the real nerds are hiding. Nobody in here knows about Nethack? At least someone said Dwarf Fortress.

One time I died on turn zero failing to mount my horse and hitting my head on the stone stairs.

Dang. I can't tag you "slime mold" because that's apparently a paid feature on my app. jdawson, is this what finally makes me switch apps?

Hello from Voyager! It looks like it doesn't support tagging either. The voyage continues.

Reddit Sync is very expensive

Jerboa doesn't do it either, or else I just can't figure out how.

NetHack makes most mortals cry. My bones files taunt me.

I played Nethack. I was overwhelmed by my anxiety and depression. I realised I was not good at video games. So I quit playing Nethack and swore to get good at video games before returning. Been, what, at least 15 years? I've gotten better I guess. Should I return? Soon, maybe.

(Seriously, though, roguelikes are still a genre I struggle with, so I do need practice!)

Have you tried pixel dungeon? It's kinda the same thing but dramatically easier and I've still never ascended. 🤣

Kinda the thing about it though is that what makes Nethack so good is how the devs thought of everything.
