!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.

For a second I thought you were telling me to stop playing games and start pulling extra work from JIRA. We were about to have a heated argument.

But... but.. I only ever buy the heavily discounted ones. And I'm going to play them. Some day. I promise!

But how else am I gonna get Super Furry Sex Cock Gay Wolf Simulator 2025 if I have to play through my backlog? /s

All jokes aside, wouldn't be surprised if that either already exists or will exist by the end of the year.

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.

Insert OCC meme "but they have games I don't have!"
