!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
that's what I mean. it became this absolute mess because devs coming and going.
long ago the original team started the project. along the way it became a minor spaghetti. and along the way Roberts starts to feature creep. devs fed up and left. replaced with new devs. some might be new, and enticed by working with Roberts. Roberts creeper more feature. more spaghetti. repeat.
I kind of remember they did a few revamping the codebase along the way a few times. by this point it's been a decade, there's a few changes of the teams, and god knows how well their documentation is. But by this 10th year in my headcanon, Roberts is already swimming in money and maybe this is where he decided to just not finish the game. maybe he decided earlier, or later. idk
fast forward to now. game still isn't finish. game still runs like ass. some people still keep buying fungible tokens. that's what the ships amount to, ultimately, in my eyes.
