!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.

How it affected me: Mr Wobbly Hides His Helmet. Many, many hours of enjoyment. But it also got me into trouble on a few occasions.
The game that changed the way I think: Go. I even got my first great job because I beat someone at Go, so he thought that meant I was smart. He was the hiring manager for a project that required international travel and which gave me high visibility within the company. But what it really meant was just that he wasn't a particularly strong Go player. I'm still an OK player, though one of my sons now plays at master level (which, he says, means that not all 12-year-old Koreans can beat him).
