!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.

Also not pictured: Being an adult with time and dispensible income, but having grown enough to see the same repeating patterns in every game.

Imo just messing with 3d software is funner than most games these days, I started off learning gamedev and ended up learning blender/houdini/davinciresolve`, it feels less like a time waste too so I feel productive and get dopamine. Feel like a kid, imagination is your limit.

Also stuff like vrchat solo is pretty cool to see what ppl made and whats possible. Renewed my interest in games for a while, like the flight sim worlds.

every game is actually a puzzle game

ok, not literally, all of them, but most game mechanics do ultimately breakdown to solving puzzles, with varying degrees of required reaction times. strategy = complex puzzle.
