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.

Don’t pay for this shit. It’s another case of “you’ll own nothing and stop fucking complaining, peasant.”

I agree but we have barely seen anything of what cloud gaming will become. Platforms like Steam will introduce it too. Especially after the Steam Machine is turning out to be such a headache for them because of uncertain hardware prices. This will happen and I am very afraid a lot of users will welcome it with open arms. We could be witnessing the end of home computers right now.

This is one of those situations where you're correct, but also being poopy about it. For people who don't regularly play games or can't afford a system, this is basically a modern blockbuster.

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 35 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'll own that.

The reason people can't afford a system is because NVidia is screwing with the market in the name of AI. Before that they were doing the same in the name of crypto. They're one of the big companies manipulating politics in their favour, against the better interest of the general populace. They're standing alongside the companies that are pushing for mass-surveillance, they're pushing for people to lose their jobs, and for all the other nefarious ways AI is being applied.

But at least we can ignore our culpability and blame a computer when it decides to bomb a bus of brown school kids on the other side of the planet now, I guess.

Zero disagreement with any of that. It's a violent, brutal, racist, greedy, cyberpunk dystopia out there.

Burn it all dowm. 🔥🇺🇸🔥

Where are all the renegade hackers sticking it to the man?

Actually, now that I think about, big companies and governments are getting hacked all the time. Which is cool.

For a long time, it was Ukraine. They're busy with something else now, for some reason
