!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.

But it’s never risen to the level of “I literally will not buy/play the game over this.”

I couldn't play Mirrors Edge once, because the fucking launcher (what was it, EA?) triggered the opened-files-limit of Linux. 3D games ran fine before that.

opened-files-limit of Linux

It has one? How much stuff did it open 😭

/etc/security/limits.conf. I think default is usually in the 1000s? Of simultanously opened files.
