!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.

This meme was apparently from 2022, but it's still true.

I wouldn't even care if a game ran at a consistent sub 30 fps. I just refresh the way I feel about what I'm doing. Like when you switch to black and white television, or music written in a different tonal system, or an Adam Sandler movie. Just relax, turn off the analysis, let your ocular systems rewire some stuff, and suddenly you don't even notice anything weird.

But when the fps is all over the place I can't hang anymore.

I've found personally that even with changing refresh rates, variable refresh rate screens eliminate screen tearing and I'm a lot less likely to notice it.
