Games as escapism is an unhealthy coping strategy, but so are hard drugs and they're even more fun

Escapism is an appropriate coping strategy for situations where you do not have influence over the outcome.

Where is the harm? Why care so much about things we cannot change?

Naturally, things get hairy when you have some influence but that influence is very small or difficult to measure.

!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.
