!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.

Stay strong this upcoming sale. The game you want but don't have temporarily licensed (AKA "own") is not going anywhere. (lemmy.ml)

I hadn't used it until the past weekend, but I wanted to go play some games at a nearby internet cafe, but didn't want to sign onto any personal accounts while there. I downloaded the offline installers for a few of my GOG games to a USB flash drive, and took that with me. The games installed very easily and I was playing my games pretty quickly without having to sign into Steam on a computer I didn't fully trust, and/or wait for the download. Going forward, if GOG and Steam have the same game, I will buy on GOG, and save the offline installer somewhere off their platform.
