!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.

I once played a 2D RPG which I got stuck in at a point, because I filled all save slots right before getting to a blocking battle, for which I ended up not having enough weapons^[I had recently bought a weapon I then got another one of, just before the battle (as a gift for the battle), but was useless, because only 1 of the player characters could equip that] and then just falling 1 or 2 hits short of managing to pass it.

I have been meaning to retry it from the start (it was a freeware, I think) but I can't recall the rather peculiar name of it. I has been ~ 20 years.
