!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 still prefer these to seo optimized, ad riddled articles with videos that are somehow 8 minutes long to show a 5-10 second part of the game.

So many things are nearly impossible to google now

Yeah it's just like looking up a food recipe anymore. A lot of times, the guide isn't even correct. Google has encouraged the internet to just pump out hot garbage.

Cool site, shame there's several outstanding PRs not accepted. Seems the maintainer went dark with the project :(

Go to the wikis. Ideally the non-fandom ones, but even those are bearable with ublock set up.

this extension is really nice to avoid fandom when possible.

mediawiki got it right the first time :P

Right? These are still what I seek out first. Give me plain text and an simple search function any day of the week

I used gamefaqs for the latest Square HD2D games like Triangle Strategy. It's actually awesome because it really completes the nostalgia and the games are kinda perfectly created for the type of guides, like the "Golden route" in that game. It's so cool people still make these guides
