!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.

In the original Sims, I was 11, and didn’t realize skills improvement would get your sims better jobs.

My sims were all top ranked in the military because that was the best job that required no skills.

My wife and I went to an arcade this weekend and they had Pole Position there. She didn't figure out shifting either for the first several tries and once I showed her she then didn't understand that you had the option of lifting off of the gas instead of slamming into your opponents at light speed and turning into burning wreckage.

I miss when games were unapologetically hard.
