!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 recall how, as a fresh-faced, young gamer just getting into the newfangled realm of online multiplayer, I got absolutely got in Everquest when somebody told me you could get a numeric representation of your current experience points by typing "/ex".
It was actually short for "/exit". And in those days, it took a loooooooooooooooooong time to relaunch the game and get logged back in. Learned a valuable lesson about human nature that day. It has served me well.
check past messages with "/log"
I got people with ‘/qui gon jinn’ in Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy.
It runs ln the Quake 3 engine, so it would just ignore everything after the space and auto complete the closest command, which was ‘/quit’ which instantly quit the game.
I got so many people because it seems like a plausible cheat code in a Star Wars game.
‘/disco’ to dance got a lot of people too.
Entering disco in Warcraft 2 lit up this bad boy:

Good times.
‘Type disco into console for lights’ for CS
It is an initiation we all must pass through. Nothing delights me more than delivering that initiation to others.
Unfortunately, this was before xkcd. If I'd known about the "lucky 10,000", I might have been more philosophical about it at the time.
Man, I really miss EverQuest. Wish I could go back to my teens and relive those days.
I still regularly play the same character I started with nearly 26 years later. I still love that game.
