!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.

I will take this opportunity to shill the Steam Deck. It's awesome and Valve doesn't shaft you whenever they can. Also cough WiiU and Switch 1 emulation cough.

I love the fact you can just switch to desktop mode and have a (mostly) fully functional Linux install.

It's not just they let you do it, they set it all up for you!

Recently started playing Pkmn Platinum on my SteamDeck.
Also set up automatic sync of game saves and save states (native saves and snapshots of current state).
Same for Yuzu :)

So beautiful.
And the sync is so well done it's glorious!

The fact that they just dropped family sharing on us and there's hardly any game excluded is insane. Games I never would have picked up otherwise, I get to try now because one of my brother's bought it. We don't even get the bullshit video streaming sites do "this content is disappearing from family sharing soon....".

And the ones without family sharing are usually excluded because of their publishers.

That block on Geforce Now was the worst.

I didn't even use it and I was still angry.

Never buy The Longest Dark. The Devs for that game helped spearhead that block solely because they wanted people to pay twice.

Let's also not forget how they started selling DLC before the game was out of early access
