Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

It's still fucking ridiculous that billionaire literally just bought the world's computing supply for a decade to build something no one wants and no one even knows how to make profitable...

It's getting to the point where it only makes sense if they don't want us to have computers anymore.

They've deluded themselves into thinking they can achieve full ai and take over the world. These tech billionaires got their money young and never grew up because of it

Upside is that it means they'll go full throttle until they smash into the economic equivalent of a pilon barrier. Maybe we'll get lucky and see some of them kill themselves a la people jumping to their deaths at wallstreet when the great depression set in.

Look a man can dream, and I dream of death and bloodshed.

They absolutely don't want you to have computers anymore.

They all want us to go to game streaming.

Not just games; everything. They want everything in the cloud, and remember, the cloud is just someone else's computer. They want to own it all, and rent it to you by the hour, and then sell all the data they gather from you as well.

Totally agree. They just want to control everything. "You will own nothing and be happy".
