!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.

Games do update when you haven’t played them for a while. At least on Switch.

Yeah that's the point. On consoles they do, on PC they might not if you havnt opened the launcher in a while.

Can't exactly turn off the updater on an console /i.e. the software responsible for launching them games

I really wish tho that steam or similar could update in connected Standby/modern Standby on lowest priority

Best I can do is wake your laptop in your messenger bag, update, catch fire and burn your house down while you sleep.

Take it or leave it.
