!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.

The analogy makes a lot of sense to me. Once you have an "easy button", it's hard to not use it. It's sort of like when you're at work and see the "quick workaround" effectively become the standard process.

I remember burning out on games because the cheats made them really fun in the short term, but afterward playing normally felt like agony.

Me and Dk 64 but that game had so many little secrets that I got annoyed with trying to find them all. πŸ˜’

I hereby retroactively grant you a permission for committing the following action:

  • Searching for secrets in a video game with an exceptionally large heaplet of secrets and then, after having shown general skill and interest in committing to said action, seeking appropriate help for completing your task, including in the form of perusing a walkthrough.

I commend you for your engangement in achieving the best possible result in the process of donkeying the kong.
