!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.

Good meme, but that's a dick move IRL.

This is only acceptable in Wii Sports tbh

The Wiimote would cause the same amount of damage.

Bowling alleys, desperate for any business at all anymore: “Just… let him play.”

I've genuinely seen someone doing something similar.

A group of us went bowling for a friend's birthday, about 25 years ago, and were having a great time. All of a sudden there was this really loud sort of crashing boom, so loud that everyone instinctively flinched, and we all looked around to see what the noise was.

A few lanes over was a group of young girls in their early teens, and one was standing at the line for her lane holding the bowling ball like a shot put. As she was launching the second ball, staff were running in from all directions to try to stop her.

Obviously, you're not a golfer

My dad's goal used to be to try to hit the pins without touching the lane

He's banned from several bowling alleys

should this be a new thing, basketbowling?

The lanes won't be very happy about that
So at least we would need a different floor for that - and probably different balls

I'm imagining this is one of those rubber or even foam dodgeballs just for the sake of my faith in humanities.

Ski ball with bowling balls sounds fun.
