!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.

Oh man NFTs and eSports? Yawning Boat Monkeys or whatever lost billions and the guy who hyped crypto is going to prison for rugpulling on a massive scale.
Who the fuck at this point thinks anyone is interested in them?? eSports has been tried to be forced and anything made specifically for eSports sucks hot dog shit and fails. The only eSports that take off are games with homegrown audiences who enjoy the gameplay (like leave became eSports, it wasn't created to BE an esport.)
This isnt a shock though, the IOC is openly corrupt and bribable. A brief glimpse at the 2016 Apocalympics in Rio shows they don't give two fucks about the games, as long as their greasy hands get cash in them. Which totally tracks when NFTs are just a way to exchange fake dollars and hide money in something that has perceived value - just like real art.
