!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.

Name 7 plot points? I've got this:

  • this religion is a cult! Let's kill God!
  • "fuck you dad!"
  • main cast commit terrorism
  • manmade horrors beyond comprehension
  • the villain was kinda right?
  • beware men with unnatural hair colours
  • memory loss

How about:

  • Magic/Magitech doesn't kill people, people kill people. (VI)
  • Killing an illegal alien and her "child" makes you a hero. (VII)
  • Burn the Witches. (VIII)
  • Never trust a polycule with an overweight woman, a twink, a group in robes, and a geezer. (IX)
  • One of these teens will die by the end and they know it, but they will hide this fact from their lover for some reason. (X)
  • You've been marked by a demon. Do what they say and die, or don't and become a monster. (XIII)
  • Celebrity deathmatch: who will be the ultimate (E)icon? (XVI)

Note: Only intended to be a silly joke. None of the above reflects my opinion on anything in the real world, to be fully and unambiguously clear.

Amnesia is an extremely common trope in Japanese fiction: anime, manga, and games. At this point I’d say it’s reaching cliche status.

They also almost always get the symptoms of amnesia wrong: the characters forget who they are. In real life amnesia cases that basically never happens. People can forget a lot of other things but they never forget who they are.
