!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.

I remember as a kid going with my dad to toys r us to buy this right around launch day. I paid for the console and Mario 64 with my own piggy bank / birthday money. We also paid more than what’s shown on the ad, I think that was the reduced price later on. The sales person working the cage (they had all the consoles behind fencing during this era) almost didn’t give us one because we were in a “day early” which we didn’t realize. But the dude was like screw it and gave us everything anyway breaking street date. Went home and played Mario 64 straight for 2-3 weeks. One of the best gaming memories for me that is firmly engrained in my brain.
