!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.

This is either slop or there is an amazing story behind this image.
Photoshop is older than you are, based on that comment.
Kids today terrified they won't know what's real or not because of AI. They didn't live through the mass confusion caused by Bat Boy in 1992.
The Cottingley Fairies killed my faith in photography
Honestly kinda reminds me of those early examples of photo manipulation using large painting and perspective fuckery. Unironically this does look really good for the era though.
Potoshop is part of the "amazing story" possibility. It means someone die this "on purpose". Why?
This is a photoshop job for sure. You can see artifacting on the right side of the shoe, as it transitions to the background, and also the foot inside the croc from the original image it was taken from.
Well spotted. So it's the "amazing story" then. Like what moved someone to put in the effort to create this piece of art?
I mean, look at it. It's a goddamn work of art. Does it need a reason?
