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.

I sound like a clock but I had to get it out somewhere.

That game was so full of love it was heartwarming to go down the rabbit hole again.

Fun fact I discovered recently is that Megalovania was played in front of the Pope.

I feel like y'all aren't ready to hear that Earthbound is 31 years old. The "new" thing you love, inspired by the retro thing you loved, is now retro and inspiring the next generation.

I just started Shin Megami Tensi 4 on the 3ds. It's my first time playing a game in this series and it seems cool. Maybe after I get through that.

You shut the fuck up

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

...........no.

No no no no!!!

Stop making me feel old, sir! Undertale is one of those "new" games. Like breath of the wild. And the Switch.

[–] ViscloReader@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah those 2016 games will hit real hard

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Retro retro game

Don't remind of my mortality, not like this

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Damn. I remember when it came out. When I first heard about it I was in the living room playing Assassins Creed 3 and a YouTuber I was into at the time uploaded a let’s play. Time really flies

[–] Coyote_sly@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I somehow completely missed this game, maybe I should play it.

I've been wondering why my fav retro podcasts have been discussing contemporary games.

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Metal Crusher still gets stuck in my head from time to time.

It's good to know this thirty year old game will be ten in a couple of months. I love it, but I absolutely have never beat it because I cannot get past the fkin dummy! I have tried three times, three separate times. I gave up and just figure I can acknowledge a game is good, while being absolutely unable to beat it.
