!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.

In 2007 I threw away about 50 boxes (all in great condition stored by my dad) of SNES/GBC/N64/GBA games and sold the cartridges for pennies.
Don't be me.
You absolute maroon. At least you know better now.
Bruh, I had Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, Silver, Gold, Crystal, Stadium 1/2, Zelda Oot/MM, Conkers Bad Fur Day, Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong 64 etc. in perfect condition. I swear my dad kept them all safe, even the manuals, inlays and everything were intact. When I was like 16 years old I wanted to get rid of all my childhood toys and get into adult stuff.
It was like around 2010 when retro gaming really took off. I swore to never collect video games again.
