!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.

One of the keys to being happy is just letting other people enjoy things.

This! If someone could explain that to republicans, please?!?

You would first have to explain the concept of other people

Pretty interesting tiktok take on this posted earlier today on lemmy about a boomer meme:

He goes on to talk about what might have motivated the artist to draw the comic, pointing out that nobody has taken black coffee away from him. Pargin says:

"All that happened is the range of options for other people expanded and he perceived that as persecution […] this is not political, this is a human nature thing. Most people are not satisfied to simply have the option to live their life the way they want. They also want to feel normal […] and see that most people have made the same choice they have made.

Clever take on that, thanks for sharing.

Oh, that's Jason Pargin. People might recognize his pen name David Wong.

They can enjoy whatever they want, but they have to enjoy them the right way!

Yep and part of that is just letting the things exist and be what they are, even if they aren't for you.

Let DOOM be what it is for those of us who were the right edgy age at the right time to eat it up. Let the calm games be what they are too, without requiring combat mechanics.

People gotta practice letting go. In general. About literally anything. The correlation I see in my acquaintances between not letting go of trivial shit (including the existence of different types of people that like different things) is stark.

Also for those who the “right edgy age” is their whole life.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah that too. Didn't mean to imply otherwise!

In my old age with sophisticated tastes I do enjoy a little Brutal DOOM now and again.
