!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.

Fuck Nintendo. No other company has as much active distain for their fans. And the damage they’ve done to game preservation is immeasurable.

Pretty sure Apple does.

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted here.

Apple is the company that brought us:

  • Proprietary charging cables with DRM microchips.
  • The first flagship phones with the headphone jack removed.
  • The normalization of phones without expandable storage.
  • A phone where you buy the charger separately.
  • A walled-garden ecosystem without sideloading.
  • An OS that removed support for kernel extensions.
  • An authorized repair program that replaces instead of repairs.
  • A line of ATX-sized desktop PCs with storage modules that are only accepted if they're the same capacity as the ones you originally bought the PC with.

Their entire software and hardware is an affront to personal ownership, right to repair, and consumer rights.

Thar list is the lite version that doesnt include all the times theyve blocked open standards so their users can't interact with non apple things.
