!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.

Incremental games have entered the chat.

Game is pretty fun but once you beat gold stake it's just an exercise in frustration. I lose most runs just because the game won't give me anything decent to buy, not because I didn't play correctly.

Being able to win with shit jokers is a skill in itself. Remember that people beat this thing jokerless

Yeah I was talking about for mere mortals. I'm no card counter but like I said, I beat gold stake so I've played a fair bit. I'm trying to finish out some of the other decks now and just find it tedious on the final stakes.

Of course there's always somebody out there that can make any game look as easy as breathing. See: Guy who just beat every dark souls game back to back without leveling up or getting hit, once.

I agree there, I have no patience for trying to make shit builds work.

Sure, you can be carried by good RNG every time

Or you can run the numbers, hedge your bets, and play to your potential outs and win much more consistently by employing mad game knowledge

And I'd have been Challenger in LoL instead of plat if it wasn't for my team.

Just like how I got Challenger in TFT the moment my favorite comp became meta as the system recognized my inherent greatness

Having played almost every beta release, I assumed the full game would have had a different curve to it. I was expecting that by the end of the run my deck would be unrecognizable

"None. You just...play the game, the whole game, to have fun!"

Surely this is a trick?
