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.

Just like with Starship Troopers, satire like this goes flying over people's heads so low and fast, it breaks the sound barrier and loosens dentalwork.

Yeah. I'm waiting on them to show ICE agents as helldivers or something. That IP could not be more clear about it's parody of the far right "freedom" quislings.

I'm actually starting to think it's on purpose. Just like with spam email with misspellings and the kind of ear-marks that warns off smart people, the only ones left to click on "win a free iphone" are easily duped. Going after people that are drawn in by iconography and optics, but fail to understand nuance and the substance behind them, may be entirely the point.

I've been saying it for months, but fascists are "stupid" for the same reason Nigerian prince emails are always poorly written, and full of spelling and grammar mistakes....

Trump's tweets make a lot more sense if you view them in this contey

One of my most surreal gaming experiences was playing helldivers with a player I didn't know. They said they liked the game because it "wasn't political". I was just fucking flabbergasted.

Some people just obediently blow up the illegal broadcasts without reading them.

I mean there was some guy at a military event (a YouTuber or smthn I think?) that literally did the helldivers recruiting intro but replaced it with marines

In a different timeline, that would be funny.
