!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 Dreamcast had hall effect joysticks and the controllers cost half what subsequent controllers did

We've been taken for a ride

I could believe that the Switch Joycons and the PS5 DualSense have a reason to cost as much as they do if it weren't for the fact that the Xbox One/Series X controller, which is functionally identical to the 360 controller, which wasn't that different than the Original Xbox controller, costs the same as the DualSense.
