!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.

challenge accepted -- "Ay-ow"

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

We don't know how it's pronounced. It's an actual name from old English days.

I say ay-ee-ay-oh

I buried that hatchet long ago.

I would be seriously absolutely genuinely impressed if somebody pulled that on me, even today.

It would probably take less effort to uncover the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.

I refuse to change since Neopets

I used to be the type of person to change names every week, but honestly i feel like starbrite fits me If you manage to find evidence of my old old gamertag i will be genuinely shocked

Is there a way to filter out memes?

Or maybe they could go to a separate community.

[–] simple@lemm.ee 13 points 2 weeks ago

/c/gaming is the meme community, if you're looking for non-meme gaming discussion check out !games@lemmy.world

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If the mods would prefer not having memes in here, I'd happily drop them wherever else.

I think c/gaming is more general and allows memes, while c/games has a lot of discussion, but I could be wrong.

c/games mod here. Yeah, we wish for our community to be more about discussing about games themselves than memeing in order to avoid meme drowning other content.

Meme are funny, I don't personally mind them, but once you allow too much of them, you end up becoming a meme community.

Maybe we should create, if it doesn't exist, a "gamesmeme" or similar to offload if it tend to overwhelm c/gaming too, or create a dedicated day to meme out (aka "meme monday").
