!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.

Getting downvoted by salty tech folks working for nestle and shell I guess.
Yup. Or coddled game devs who think they are gods gift to society.
Game dev is real work, but it's entirely optional.
I never worked for big bad companies but even the "green, progressive" ones wore me down eventually, there just aren't any companies in the modern world over a certain size that aren't scummy one way or another. That's why I only work for myself now.
I almost worked in NGO but it didn't work out in the end, I could still be curious to check that out at some point.
