!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.

Same with flashlight batteries in horror games
Or weapon degregation in any game... Sorry this METAL weapon can't be used for more then a few minutes?
Next thing I know you are going to tell me that punching trees isn't an effective way to collect wood.
I walk round my house eating little pills. If I stay still the ghosts eat me.
Have you tried walking out of your back door and immediately appearing through your front door?
That can confuse them
Or how flashlights make a little circle of light in otherwise near-total darkness, as opposed to real flashlights which light up a pretty wide area.
this can all be solved with expert world-building: for example, maybe the nighmare creatures siphon the energy of the flashlights? and for breath of the wild, maybe dr. eggman has secretly infiltrated the world's metal supply chain and sabotaged it with poor alloys.
