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.

Winter burrow on steam is being released today, (Nov 12th). I went to the forums to see complete chaos. People arguing and calling out the developers about using sweet baby inc. and hiding it, others wondering what the big deal is like myself. It could just be the anti woke gamers, but there were other complaints. I got the demo and I think the game is amazing, and am not understanding why it’s such a flash point. If anyone has some context, that would quell my curiosity. I’m probably getting it later today, regardless.

Nice try to rally the troops to grift some hate/simpathy sales from the dumb dumbs who can't see this for the blatant exploitative marketing attempt it really is.

Nice attention grab from someone who also has nothing meaningful to contribute. Why should I care who buys it, and what do I get from marketing for them?

Maybe the real question is, does diversity scare you? Are you going to cry if I ask your pronouns?

Yeah, I really posted this to attract the smooth brain club. As if people like you have anything to add. You can just ignore things that don’t resonate with you. To me it seems like you baited yourself

[–] verdi@feddit.org 0 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Clearly I'm the uncivilized one in this dialogue. You can tell from the petty insults and strawmen.

[–] Isolde@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

You said something truthful, how does it feel? Others can tell by the lack of character you possess and the lack of content in your comments. Thanks for having some awareness, that’s progress.

[–] verdi@feddit.org -1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Thank you, your insults are so well crafted I feel a single wrinkle forming in my smooth brain.

[–] Isolde@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

You might not have anyone to talk to, and I’m genuinely sorry for you, but why persist in replying to someone you don’t agree with? You seem to want some engagement whether negative or not. I honestly wish you the best, because it seems like you’re trying extremely hard to grab attention, get a reply, and have some reply. Just know you can do that positively, and if you did, I’d forgive you for it.

[–] verdi@feddit.org 0 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Second wrinkle just formed. Keep going...

[–] Isolde@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

There isn’t any more. Honestly, it’s just you. You can keep commenting to no end, but my kindness does expire. No one is going to want to be part of your community if you don’t see a need for kindness. Why don’t you keep going? Maybe there is someone here who is the same sort of desperate. Maybe you can find them. This is why communication and communities exist.

[–] verdi@feddit.org 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Three wrinkles, a few more posts and I'll cure cancer.

What do you think?

Don't starve like, not great, not terrible, at home in a Deck. Demo is appreciated. Attempts at viral marketing by stirring culture war, are not. It's a European game, largely subsidised by Danish grants, their absence from the Danish diversity charter is kind of conspicuous in the face of this clunky attempt at going viral with US culture war BS... Someone should return their marketing degree and ask CBS their money back.

[–] Isolde@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

If you can recommend a cozy/farming game other than this, I’ll gladly return it if I don’t already own it. Otherwise their drama doesn’t really have anything to do with me.

[–] Isolde@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

That’s an interesting take, I don’t know why you decided not to lead with that.

[–] Isolde@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago
[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hmm... I was about to disregard this, but it's only a day old account, so you might be right...

[–] Isolde@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, I joined this platform because I was sick of how caustic Reddit is, apparently it reaches all the corners of the internet. Thanks for the unwarranted doubt; and for contributing nothing.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

You are right, it contributed nothing to the post except adding some toxicity, my apologies.

Welcome to Lemmy!

[–] Isolde@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

If you’re being genuine I appreciate it. I get bots are literally a blight on the internet, but you can’t assume everyone is! Thanks for the welcome. :)

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

Yeah, I try to make Lemmy a welcoming place for everyone, at least where I can, so no excuses for that.

Have fun!
