Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
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.

Her hour long speech about how 3DO Doom came to be is legendary. If you don't have the time to listen to it in its entirety, I recommend StopSkeletonsFromFighting's summary.
I put these links separately from the main post because, although many people remember her for this story, she was a legend who worked on many other games and deserves to be remembered for other, much greater accomplishments.
Damn. One month, you find out you have cancer. Next month, you're dead.
Was just going to say the same thing. Damnit that sucks. RIP.
She regularly posted on Mastodon, and during the last month there was a post every few days about how much she was in pain. It was heartbreaking really, and finding out that she lost that battle didn't make it any better.
A non-insignificant portion of my life has been spent enjoying code that she wrote and games that she developed. Rest in peace.
RIP Burger Becky
Well damn
God damn, what a great rap sheet of games. RIP
Incredible achievements! FIRST US national gaming contest winner, then becomes a professional programmer at 16 ! And sooooo many jobs she did that led the way to many others. She was passionate and kind.
