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.

So long gay bowser

Next up, Dennis Kirby

Good. Reggie was a charismatic leader that pushed against Nintendo Japan to be more consumer friendly. This man did nothing and had zero presence. I wonder what he was even doing there.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago

But his name was Bowser! You know.....like the Nintendo character!

Yeah, past the first week of funny headlines I never thought of him again.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 42 points 2 months ago

I think he definitely left his EA mark on the company.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 42 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Devon Pritchard will take on the role. She currently serves as the Executive Vice President of Revenue, Marketing and Consumer Experience.

Profitability. That's not reassuring.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Nope. Not at all.

[–] tahoe@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Unsurprising, but still disappointing

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 24 points 2 months ago (2 children)

His... legal name was Bowser?

[–] BootLoop@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Just wait until you hear what they did to Gary Bowser.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 2 months ago

So long, Gary Bowser!

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 4 points 2 months ago

Gary Bowser

...Ah, copy protection circumvention and apparent IP infringement by the parents. Heinous. /s

Gannon brain-masters? Ridley deedeedee-king? Elizabeth m.¹ dos?

¹full middle name 'Mew'

Welcome to the team John Gannondorf-King-Of-The-Gerudo

Pritchard (bowsers successor) holds a doctorate of law from Gonzaga and a bachelors in biological sciences from Kansas state...Id speculate that Satoru Shibata will do more of the actual management given his continuing role as managing executive officer and corporate director at Nintendo co Ltd, his previous roles as president of Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo of Australia, and this new position at NOA concurrent with his NCL duties, but it's really funny if unsurprising to me that Nintendo chose a fucking lawyer as their Chief operations officer.

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 12 points 2 months ago

Wow he didn't last too long.

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago

I guess Mario or Luigi jumped on his head twice already. Bowser knew the gig was up, and got out while he could

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

The next CEO:

[–] Pissmidget@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I'm certain it'll be someone's uncle! Seems everyone has one what works there.

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago

I was hoping the next CEO would be something like Walt Wario or something.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago
[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Pritchard will take on the role.

About time! What, did she get stuck in an airduct on the way there?

[–] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

OK, so which of the Koopalings is next in line? My money’s on Ludwig!

Given my general distain for modern Nintendo, I’d have no qualms in using AI to generate a Succession parody using the Koopa Kids, if only I knew how… 😅

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

If they want a CEO with some balls, they'd choose Lemmy.
