!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we donβt 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.

It's always baffled me. If I heard a lady on Halo I'd be like "Cool! Hi!" and just try to have fun and be a good team player.
I never understood that hideous gamer stereotype of sweaty dudes that would be absolute gremlins if they heard a woman's voice.... But you KNOW they'd turn around and probably whine about nobody wanting to date them?!
If this means I was high skill, cool I guess [1], but c'mon why can't people just play games together. π
[1] I had a recording on my 360 where I lobbed a brute grenade halfway across the map and it stuck to an opponent's gun barrel... That was totally dumb luck though. π
