!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.

It's a society problem. I grew up in a middle-class suburb. Absolutely no one played outside. Kids were booked from the end of school until dinner with structured "activities" that were just college resume points. None of the 15 kids on my block would have been able to join a game of "soccer" or throw a frisbee, because they were booked full-time from the age of 8. People need to let kids explore and entertain themselves.
