!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.

On my beefy desktop PC it takes about 30s to a minute to open on a 4 year old SSD
Steam takes about 15s max, less usually but it opens on PC start so I don't usually have to open it
On my laptop from 3 years ago steam is about a 22s open (doesn't open on launch there) and epic takes well over a minute and a fucking half
The laptop hardware is just slightly older, lower versions of basically the same desktop hardware too so why the difference is so gd massive idk
But it seems like some hardware HATES EGS
