!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.

Agreed, the amount of times I've heard:

"It's nothing but reading"

In regards to VN or RPGs..

Never understood how this is an argument when reading for fun exists. Specifically when comparing visual novels to books, books don't tend to have pictures, scenarios, music, sound effects or voice acting. Sometimes reading a book isn't interesting enough on its own and folks want more.

I can understand liking a game but not liking all the dialogue, I remember Mass Effect 3 had an option for Story, Action or RPG mode and it'd be great if more devs would implement that kinda thing instead of forcing one specific playstyle.
