!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.

I even remember taking batteries from a smoke detector once. (lemmy.world)

A little while after the Gameboy color came out, I was able to get my hands on a rechargeable battery pack, and I remember thinking that was an absolute game changer.

I don't miss the days of everything running on batteries.

I do. I have rechargeable aa and aaa batteries. When a battery pack goes bad it's a pita to order/buy/replace. When my rechargeable AAA battery goes bad...."oh, look. I have a dozen more and they were like a buck a piece."

When I was about 10, my mum was addicted to tetris on the GB. I'd get home from school and literally every battery in the house would be completely dead...
I talked to her about it a few years ago, she told me that for about 5 years after she stopped playing she'd dream about tetris more often than anything else.
