!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 don't wanna know who, I wanna know how

Like, these things don't have any exposed ports to plug in a USB, do they?

Probably a maintenance panel somewhere. I'm guessing this was done by an employee.

I've seen a few that crashed and all of them were just windows PCs.

I managed to get to the desktop on one and opened up the browser before getting stopped. They just had the thing in tablet mode so I simply dragged from the bottom to reveal the taskbar and opened up edge before getting stopped by a manager

Vape pens, pregnancy tests, office phones, an Ikea lamp - I dunno if this new OP scenario is real, but even if this particular instance was faked, the scenario it describes could most definitely be done.

One of the funniest methods was to mod Doom Eternal and play the OG Doom inside of Doom. You know, so now you can play more Doom while you are playing Doom, for the sake of playing Doom. It's Doom-ception, all the way down baby! :-P

Honestly, I'm kind of interested in how to do this

I used to play Doom on a Sansa clip+ with a mono color screen. I shit you not.

When you say you "used to play"it.... Please tell me you didn't really play it that much

Maybe an hour and a half total. It was a serious challenge. I beat like 2 levels.

Every machine I own, Windows or Linux gets four games.

Deus Ex

System Shock 2

Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force

All are DRM free and capable of running on the most potato 🥔 of all modern hardware.

Someone fun. Now can we play via the EFTPOS machine?

[–] HowManyNimons 1 points 11 months ago

There must be a Skyrim port for that too.
