!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.

It's called rage batting for a reason.

Just to play devil's advocate: Mario is without a doubt the oldest recognizable character that still has some modern appearances. You can't really take pong and some shitty mobile game as a comparison.

I think Pac Man is the oldest, but only by a year.

It gets very blurry in the early days of video games. Ahoy made a great video about just that, actually: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uHQ4WCU1WQc&pp=ygUYYWhveSBlYXJsaWVzdCB2aWRlbyBnYW1l

Basically, there's earlier games than pacman, but what actually constitutes a video game starts to become a much less trivial question.

He even has the broccoli haircut. He knows what he's doing.

Nobody who has a broccoli haircut knows anything in general

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

He's probably aware that he's doing something. And whatever that is means he's getting views and that's all that matters.

Kids man... I remember back in the day being asked to review a gaming site a young'un was trying to get off the ground and I had to correct them that Mario was NOT created by Atari and man, they were ADAMANT.

Their evidence?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Its even funnier because Nintendo's brand name is printed three times on that cartridge.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah but it says Atari twice

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It says Atari also 3 times. Also Sears.

Yeah, Sears had their own licensed knock off of the Atari 2600.

"Donkey Kong by Nintendo"

This won't stop me because I can't read.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

But what about Green Mario??

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Funny because it's NES (1983/85) Mario over a N64 (1996/97) controller. Idiots

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I guarantee you that N64 controller is the wireless reissue for the Nintendo Switch and not a real genuine N64 controller that plugs into an N64.

Ah geez, it's worse lol

I imagine the hate-clicks from GenXers and retro-game enthusiasts do wonders for Laughing Boy’s engagement

Try doing it in real time and then talk to me about it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I don't give these guys any clicks.

I played these games when I was a kid (80's):

Speed Race

Tank

The games were still being played more than 10 years later and they had copycat versions floating around.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

That kid knows exactly what he’s doing. Bravo I say.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I played a fait amount of games on this here gaming system:

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Super Mario Wonder was the least enjoyable Mario game I have ever played.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 month ago
