!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.

Binding Of Isaac Afterbirth - no other game I've ever played has made me so suspicious that the developer hates the player almost as much as they hate the main character. I've rage-deleted this game off my PC more than any other - which says a lot.
There's also Jagged Alliance 2 and all it's mods - inexcusably shallow world-building, a threadbare, low-stakes plot that nosedives in early game and never recovers, awful political subtexts and badly broken game mechanics (despite the miracles modders have managed to achieve with it) - yet it still (somehow) manages to be one of the best turn-based squad-based affairs around that inexorably tantalizes you with what it could have been.
