!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.

Huh.

I just realized I've killed thousands of digital Nazis, but I've never liberated a digital concentration camp.

Maybe that's what g*mers needed to see.

This is one of many reasons "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream" is required gaming. One of the stages in the game is a concentration camp, you're playing as the Nazi doctor who tortures people with unethical experiments. Your goal to win the stage is to realize the horrors of what you've done, accept your role in it, try to make amends, and ultimately agree to die as there is no apology for what you've done.

And yes, we do see mass graves and one of your first tasks is choosing to either sever a child's spine or cancel the procedure. There is no gorey gruesome over the top scene, you just choose to do it, you lose "Spiritual Health", and the child complains he cannot walk or feel his legs later whilst the game comments that the surgery had no purpose outside of mutilating the patient.

You can torture them further and learn nothing, but that's how you lose... And again, there are no scenes of you gibbing jewish prisoners like they're doom enemies. Getting to kill people in horrible ways is a reward in games, here, you get none of your "blood porn", just the horrors of war.

If this doesn't convince you "Holocaust = Bad", you're probably a Nazi.
