!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.

I have steam account from CS 1.0 (can legally buy beer), and hundreds of games. I still say that gaming is dead, especially AAA gaming. This year has been quite shit compared to previous one's and it has been a trend for years. Indie and small studios are the way forward.
AAA gaming is definitely dead but i dont think its a bad thing. Ive just about only played Indie games and even AA(?) games to great satisfaction the past couple of years. Im not a light gamer either have thousands of hours in games like Avorion, Stormworks, Battlebit, Juno: new origins (kerbal space program like). That is just to name a few but right now im binging Space Station 14 real hard which im not even playing from Steam. If anything the death of AAA has created a great opportunity for smaller devs to start showing up and showing off
Thanks, I will have to check this this out.
...You ever play Barotrauma?
Its a lot of fun! If you like barotrauma but want something more long form youll love SS14 its much more goofy than barotrauma
