!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.

100% agree. I was a Briggs veteran for a long time after the peak. My username (not this one) is in the RecordSmash official post recognising the 1158-player world record. The Daybreak takeover was concerning, but we pushed through.

But realistically I just "accomplished" everything I reasonably could have, and then they took my server away from me. My time with the game ended, but I have no regrets. What a phenomenal experience it was at the time.

I miss the days of Briggs' undefeated Server Smash streak. I led a squad in the first three-way smash (not this username) and I still remember what a rush it was. I eventually got to a point where I had reached BR100 (before they increased the cap), the server population was dwindling, and I just wasn't having fun any more so I drifted away from the game. I don't regret the time I spent with it.

Ah man now I'm curious. What faction? We maybe crossed paths. I was dominantly NC in D1RE/SHOK, VS in CIVZ back in my early days.

TR in BOTM, we probably did cross paths since the server wasn't that big
