!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.

Bah! Real gamers play Pac-Man and Donkey Kong.
Idk why but pac man is the most anxiety inducing game I've ever played.
Is it because you're just a disembodied mouth, eating pills in the dark while being haunted by ghosts?
Probably more to do with the "ceaseless" nature of it, you can't even stop and rest, it's just pacman forever and ever.
Oh, x_x…well…that would be another reason. Sure. Or accidentally going left instead of right and losing the optimal route with the power-ups. Or my eyes played a trick and the ghost is gonna eat me and now I’m running and they’re all chasing me!
Can I get one last ghost before the power-up runs out? Oh no I have one more corner because I messed up…why does the music sound like a heart attack?
