!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.

Those are rookie numbers - World of Warcraft ruined thousands of marriages in the 2000’s.

It also created a few, based only on what I witnessed in my guild

I know two couples who met in WoW. One of them is still married and just had a child. The other had a child almost immediately and aren't together anymore.

They're just like us!

I wonder how many marriages were... "spiced up" due to long bouts of Crusader Kings

I also suspect Factorio must've ruined a number of marriages. Women are temporary, factories are forever

Who told you that "a videogamr is more important than your family or significant other"?

Qhoever told you that, is dead wrong.
