!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.

What game disables your Gatling gun after five seconds of use? So I can know which game not to buy.

I can't recall any for literally 5 seconds but I did play the recent demo for Toxic Commando and their turrets overheat bullshit fast.

Left for Dead 2's minimum has a pretty short lifespan before overheating. Although a single 5 second burst is enough to kill every zombie on the screen

minimum

It tickles me that, because I was expecting a different word, I read this as "mini-mum". 🙃

I think the unmodded imperator in Warframe is pretty close.
