!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.

This is how TF2 got absolute shit tier autobalance after a bunch of braindeads complained on reddit to remove auto balance, which the devs did to absolute disaster, and then they "fixed" it by readding autobalance with live team switches so you get screwed even if you don't die.
y'know instead of just adding a round timer/objective buffer to prevent getting auto balanced right before the match ends.
Also how items like dead ringer, ambassador, righteous bison, etc got ridiculous nerfs because some failures couldn't handle losing to those weapon loadouts despite all three having obvious downsides over stock and requiring extensive skill to use.
Last time I opened that cesspool, people were still making 5k upvote posts abut nerfing sniper as a class.
