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.

The thing that annoys me the most about this website is that the base idea is cool. A website where kids can play free browser games that are either artistically or gameplay-wise connected to government. Like if they were the kind of games you'd play in a civics class to have fun while you learn about how the government runs and functions. Instead this idea is being ruined by making it partisan and reprehensible

I could envision some games. Say, a "Theme Polling" game, where you have to build and manage polling sites, giving people enough water, processing ballots, staffing, and so forth. A "Mail, Please" game, where we handle the mail and send it to the right places on time.

Maybe license Factorio or hire the devs, so that kids can get an idea of what goes into supply chains.

Exactly! It could've been so cool!

Leslie Knope would’ve knocked this out of the park!

And blatantly racist!

Easier to spread hatred through games. Subliminal indoctrination.
