!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.

Why can't we have Doom except instead of shooting monsters, we have to manage train schedules? In space?

Sans the lack of shooting, this will serve.

Just play on peaceful difficulty, no biters means no shooting.

There are plenty of guns in that game though

"Sans the lack of shooting" Sans means without

There's shooting in Factorio. You can even automate pistols for some reason.

That's what they're saying. Sans means without, so "Sans the lack of shooting" is "Without the lack of shooting"

[–] DanVctr@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Still a Satisfactory level of shooting in that game imo

Mmm... there are many games that fit that criteria.

Is it somehow set in a high school and it's all anime?

Can we date the Pinky?
