!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.

There was this game I swear was called Solaris but was not able to find. The whole thing is a model of a star system with a couple dozens of oddly-named planets and you need to "shoot units" at the planets you want to conquer. You basically have to estimate how many units you need to take it over or something.

I'll probably never be able to find it cause I can't even describe it so well haha

That's what sprang to mind for me as well. There's another version somewhere with viruses/bacteria where you're in a petri dish and can find/modify your dna for better traits in certain multiplying/attack/defending strengths.
