!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.

Reminds me of that one guy on youtube who chases children around in Among Us VR while screaming like a maniac, immediately accuses them of being the imposter as soon as the button gets pushed, and often gets his way because he continues yelling and the "loudest = right" principle still works in online games.

Pro tip: don't buy your 6 year old an Oculus and let them rip with zero parental controls.

Yeah, that's exactly why I stopped playing the game. It has nothing to do with people collectively solving a logic puzzle, and entirely is a social manipulation game.

Well it was a social deduction game

I find that it's okay if the free chat is turned off, as is the case when my kid plays.

I think it would work better if you personally know the people playing with you though.
