!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 just noticed that when I look at a game which I know nothing about and Steam says "Mostly Positive" I tend to immediately get suspicious

My internal rating is:

Overwhelmingly positive: game is actually quite good and also probably, but not always, a niche game.

Very positive: most people don’t hate it

Mostly positive: Game has one or two big, specific issues for most people, like a specific performance or gameplay problem, but is otherwise fun.

Mixed: game either sucks or has had some controversy. Usually games that are good but not worth the money go here.

Mostly negative: game sucks

Overwhelmingly negative: exclusively reserved for shovelware and yearly sports games like FIFA and NBA games.
