!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.

Man, I miss being all agitated about the thing I bought, ordered or took as a gift. Idk if it's depression or just an aging thing, but I do miss being tempted like that. 1-day delivery and digital purchases kinda ruined it and I want an option to intentionally slow delivery down. Waiting and anticipating something that'd arrive on the X day added a lot to the value I see in a product.
I still get that when I buy things secondhand, from Mercari, Abe books, or other online thrift stores. I'm waiting for a cute tokidoki vinyl figure to show up. Maybe this week, maybe next. Who knows?
I still get that with anything that I don't buy from Amazon, also game releases that I've been following for a while (currently sitting patiently until the Elden Ring DLC finally drops for my time zone).
You can usually specify a delivery date. Just pick one week after the day you're ordering.
