!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.

If it's true, that's pretty sweet.

I've seen girls at locals too so it's not entirely impossible.

It's just uncommon, much like anything else. Especially so for Yu-Gi-Oh because it's simply not as popular as it used to be (especially when compared to Pokemon or Magic).

I've known plenty of girls that play pokemon TCG and MTG, yugioh not as popular in my area. They're just not as visible about it because guys get fucking weird about it.

I'm thankful I had younger sisters so I (apart from a bit of the usual teenage awkwardness) didn't get creepy about the opposite sex.

And just to throw this out here, for fun.

My ex and I had so much shit in common it was unreal. We were both miserable and living in hell.

My wife and I have very little in common and we get along swimmingly. It’s actually crazy how much we get along.

She laughs at my nerdy interests and can’t relate to them at all, but she admires the things about me that she can’t relate to and I am the same with her.

Our egos don’t get in the way of anything between us. We don’t bump heads about common interests because we don’t have a pile of them. We’ve actually been able to show each other things we wouldn’t have encountered without each other over this last decade (roughly).

We aren’t exactly opposites because we share political and religious (or lack thereof rather) views. We don’t have many common interests though.

Sometimes I wish I could make her understand this or that about me, and she feels the same way. We make it though.

Based on my experience with my ex, if I found myself single and I met a woman with too many of my interests, I’d run.
