!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.

These often were solo written guides, too. Not wikis.

Somewhere, a company employs one of these people, and they have the best documentation you've ever seen.

There actually were usually citations of usernames that you never heard of that provided corrections and niche secrets.

It was pretty neat.

Whoever was the guy that wrote the Breath of Fire 2 walkthrough I read when I was 12 was a godsend for me.

I was still learning English and his FAQ was so thorough and clear that I actually improved my vocabulary and grammar from using it.

I keep spectacular documentation on personal projects because there's no deadlines.

If I get hit by a bus, my office will collapse because I ain't got time to document shit.
