!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.

Jobst's video also claimed that Mitchell had "expressed joy at the thought" of Smith's death.

Damn. Yeah I can see why he got sued.

In my opinion Mitchell did exactly that.

“My wife found two different places online [that] Apollo Legend is dead. If it’s true, I will not shed a tear. I will try not to smile or giggle. No promises,” Mitchell said in a text. https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queensland/video-game-champion-regrets-jokes-about-death-rumour-20240917-p5kbd9.html

Both of the people are so shitty in this. on one hand Karl absolutely defamed Billy on the other hand Billy has so many times used the legal system to bend people to his will that I still hate how much he won.
