!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.

If a game is actually worth £40, I'll buy it. But they fucking need to make me want to play it.

Nothing is worth that much after you've tasted the an epic games bundle from Fanatical, etc. that gave you hundreds of hours of solid enjoyment from games at a total of <$10. At least, that's what I've experienced as an unintentional member of !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works...

Fair play. I've bought two bundles before but they never really got me interested. I never really like the games. I'm happy to just buy one game I really want. As I only get maybe 5 hours a week to game, it takes me a long time to finish anything.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with that. I bought FTL through a Humble Bundle and that was literally the only game in its entire bundle that I cared about even to this day. It was absolutely worth it.
