!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.

Yup. We've gone beyond realism and any sane level of graphical fidelity. In a game about fighting, exploring, and trading in space. I still think when they release the game they're going to be in for a surprise when reviewers rake them over the coals for having survival game mechanics. That's fine on a multiplayer survival game, but if the new extraction shooter is anything to go by, reviewers are done with that stuff getting added to other games. (It has a mechanic where if you run out of water you lose everything. You can only realistically have a couple days of water. So F to that Disney vacation, Daddy has to login to farm water.)
