!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.

Gears of War (2006) also required the sub to play online but didn't actually have dedicated servers, which for a twitch reflex shooter game meant the host always had an advantage no matter how good your connection was. It became really apparent with one of the tiny dlc maps Raven Down where the words "host shotgun advantage" were often heard.
