!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.

You don't know, because there was no option. That is the point we are trying to make.
With mods it's an option and it definitely wouldn't have hit the same way. The whole point of souls games is overcoming challenges with practice. Too many people avoid challenging themselves and it's a real problem I've seen in many people. That's why you see people who waste away at the same job and same level for years instead of taking chances and risks and pushing themselves to try something new. I've known people with budding talent in things like music that gave up because they weren't instantly the best at it. Not everything in life will be easy, or instant, or convenient. Too many people either forget that or don't realize it. Some things take hard work and practice and they are extremely rewarding when you put in the work.
Would you complain that a rubiks cube is too hard or a crossword puzzle or anything else that's designed to challenge you?
