!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.
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.

One big thing from reddit I miss is Sr. Grafo.
Five minutes out of Vault 76, my level 1 ass encounters a power armored level 270 who waves before continuing to stomp in a different direction.
My daughter learned to jump because she learned she could walk over and hit the spacebar and see immediate feedback on almost every game we played, but at the time I was playing through one of the Tomb Raider games so I'd relatively frequently walk away with the game unpaused. Then she connected the dots of what she saw on screen and tried repeating the motions she saw Laura doing and did her first jumps mimicking what she saw on screen.
So in summary, Laura Croft taught my daughter how to jump.
I don’t know why but this story gives me the warm and fuzzies.
Because it's a cute story
Zelda taught me how to read. Or, more accurately, I learned to read so that I could play Ocarina of Time and know what the hell I was doing.
And people say video games aren't educational
Why, back in my day, kids a Nintendo with Super Mario Brothers and no manual!
Actually, I feel like back in the day we actually got manuals with tons of story content and artwork and such. Game manuals seem to have mostly fallen to the wayside now.
I got my NES and games used, so I didn't get any manuals. It took 10-year-old me forever to realize that I wasn't supposed to shoot the unarmed targets that popped up in Robocop 2's shooting range, and I never did figure out what the goal of Fester's Quest was.
This was me showing my daughter how to play Morrowind in TES3MP.
