!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 anyone is old enough to remember Infocom games, they came with "feelies," just random fun stuff related to the game they decided to include. It occasionally was needed to solve a game puzzle, but usually not.
I can still smell that box. They had a certain smell back then.
When people talk about games having heart, this is it. Little unnecessary goodies just because you're excited that people are buying your game and you want them to be into it.
Getting a new game and having books and stickers to mess with on the ride home until you can play the game.
“Kids these days” will never know that feeling. Of course, they’ll have their ipads, so probably won’t care.
Myst and Riven had the greatest boxes! Then also The 11th Hour and Phantasmagoria.
