!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.

What 8GB. Some of the best games ever fit in a floppy disk (a real life save icon for the gen z people around here).

A floppy? How many copies of kkreiger do you need?

I need the rest of the space for my humongous demos collection.

The first section of my disc box was for demos. The rest for games. The games sometimes got overwritten, but the demos never got sacrificed, because those were hard to get.

These days I just go to pouet.net and watch the YouTube clips. I know, it's a ridiculous procedure to stream megabytes of video to watch a 100kb demo run, but I just can't be bothered to make my pc run anything by itself anymore.

Transport Tycoon.

Although that may have been 3 floppies.

Lmao, I didn't know someone could be condescending about floppy disc's, but here we are.

It's a joke and I didn't intend it to be condescending.
