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.

I remember when I'd play goldeneye on N64.

Granted the game hasn't aged well, but for the time, it was the best game ever.

So much so that now, whenI see a new 007 game announced, I get a momentary feeling of "OH SHIT!" until I remember it's not going to be as fun as being 14, staying up all night in the summer, eating lays potato chips, drinking coke, dragging your balls across the losers face and laughing at him as everybody else holds him down, watching WWF Raw live, and then WCW Nitro on VHS recorded hours before, playing the improv one word game that all stoners play instinctively, recording vhs game boy camera movies. The summer of 1997 and 1998 was magical.

For a brief moment, I get nostolgia anytime I see a new 007 game. Then I instantly remember it'll never live up to those days of my youth, now in my 40s.

Hey. Anyone else have grey hair and back pain?

Yeah man, all of this except for the balls part. Shit's a bit too much for me bro and I was there in the 90's. You do you though, I guess. 🤷
