!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've left a game open on the main screen, or paused, so many times that my play counters are not remotely trustworthy

35000 hours is a lot though. Really a lot if not done on purpose

That’s almost 17 years at a full time job….

Streamers have a good life

Unless you're handicapped or unable to work for some reason and get a passive revenue that allows you to live, i'm not sure how people can do this

That's 4 years or 104 fortnights or 1,458+ poop socks.

To put that much time into something and say you don't like, obviously it capture that person's attention well beyond it's intended shelf life. How can anyone improve on something that captured someone's attention for four fucking years of playtime.

Something something fortnite joke

4 continuous years of 24/7 playtime, it’s important to say

I did this with Garry's Mod, writing gamemodes and occasionally testing if it works.

Back before GMod 11 the game startup time was atrocious, so I just kept it running.

But in the end, it was about 5k hours
