!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.

Damn good times.
I miss LAN parties, everyone coming over lugging their desktops and CRT monitors, having an 8-port 10gps Ethernet hub (not switch), staying up late playing 4v4 StarCraft maps and Diablo 2 games at max capacity.
Good times.
I'm a pizza delivery driver and three weeks ago I delivered to a party of 11-13 year olds who had a bunch of monitors and consoles together in a living room having a Halo LAN party. In the year of our Lord 2026. I thought I'd stepped into the past
11-13? So born in 2015-2013? So then those would be millennials' kids, gen alpha.
The millennials loved LANs so much, they gave it to their kids. That's lovely.
Did you at least stay for a round of CTF on Beaver Creek?
Unfortunately it was the beginning of dinner rush and I need money
There is hope with the young 'uns
I know man. The copious amount of pop, Doritos/Cheetos and pizza we'd consume... We were kings.
