!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.

MODERATORS
I'm not a retro gamer, but I also don't really understand the appeal of 1:1 PC ports - in my mind you'd either want to go for the full experience with the original console and controllers, the CRT TVs they were designed for etc, or if you really wanted to play it on a modern device emulators fit the bill perfectly. Is there something special about the original code being ported to x86? At least remasters try to take some advantage of that modern hardware, although I understand it's not the "same" game
People are shy about maybe doing crimes
Ah, right. That possibility didn't cross my mind x)
