!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.

Shout out to Deus Ex: Human Revolution for baiting me into thinking I could do a non-lethal playthrough and avoid combat.
There are forced boss fights in that game that require you to engage in firefights against bullet spongey enemies. I had put all my points into stealth. Not fun!!!
Kinda the same with Dishonored. I finished the entire game and wondered why I didn't get the non-lethal award.
Turns out that the tutorial that specifically told me to kill 2 guards in the beginning of the game counted.
I did this same thing in Undertale. I "killed" the training dummy in the tutorial and had 5xp the entire game. I was unable to do a pacifist run. I later found out you can't do pacifist on your first run anyways so it kinda sorted itself out.
