!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.

The funniest thing is how many people are taking the game setting way, way too seriously. "OMG YOU ENSLAVE CUTE CRITTERS AND MAKE THEM WORK!!!111" - Like that hasn't been a thing in Pokemon since Green/Blue. Remember Lt. Surge, "fighting the war" with pokemon? Or the first episode of the anime, with a bunch of pikachu generating electricity for the pokecenter? Every mainline game has shown pokemon being used as workforce in one way or another, in Vermillion City there's even a house being built with Machoke doing all the heavy lifting.

Regarding Palworld proper, I've been enjoying this game a lot. It scratched some itches I didn't even know I had. Might last me a number of weeks yet, then I can wait for future updates while feeling duly sated.

Yeah I'm in the same boat where my time is limited and I'd honestly rather be on here arguing about feline genetic differentiation than playing the equivalent to a game made by PETA that caught on with the crowd who responds to every Nintendo Post with just the word "PalWorld".

Nothing else, no discussion, I think some of them are actually PalWorld fans who don't realize they're hurting the case of PalWorld being different enough to avoid legal disputes by associating it with competitor titles.

Actually, you know what, now that I talked through it I know I would love to play this title but I want absolutely nothing to do with the community around it.

It wouldn't be a good game if it wasn't so much fucking fun. It has basically no coherent story, the gameplay loop is not that complex, but the many different pals, their abilities, and the exploration are all fun as heck.

If you don't want to associate with the people, then don't. Don't join the discussions.

If you want to be 100% incognito, just set yourself to invisible on Steam.

Or play a pirate version, that's as incognito as you can get regarding gaming
