!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.

I swear I get irrationally annoyed at the term "parkour" in video games. It's called platforming dammit!

Not the same. Games with parkour make movement look good even if a games journalist is playing. Games with platforming respect the player's right to fail and learn from failure to eventually make movement look good.

So wait, are you saying Super Mario Brothers is a menu game, and Assassin's Creed was created just for journalists?
