!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.

D2 was the OG slop. Rogue-like before Rogue-like was cool. An endless, graduated grind with minimal story and hundreds of hours of "We've changed the color palette slightly so you know the thing you're click-spamming is more difficult to kill" monotony.
It's the kind of game you play through once with glee, then get halfway through the second run at higher difficulty, gasping for air at 2am on a Wednesday night with exams the next day, and ask yourself "Holy shit, what have I done with my life?!"
Then you jam the uninstall button, snap the CD, and bury yourself in your bedsheets dreading the hangover after your brief moment of lucidity fades.
Yeah, uninstall and snap the CD definitely not buy a couple more copies so you so you multi bot farm with D2jsp for perfect uniques. Absolutely definitely not that never ever didn't happen. Nope.
Who would do this? Nobody would do this!

To those of us who played thousands of hours of D2 this is a comical take
