!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.

The achievements are an after-thought. You add the analytics during development, it's hard to make meaningful decisions without data and you would do work on achievements that you would throw away. Each time I have had to add achievements they end up beside the analytics code inside the same abstraction layers. Some of the cool achievements do require adding more tracking code, the the amount of data that is gathered is wild.
