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.

Growing old is watching all of your heroes die

Why was Microsoft ever your hero?

[–] The1TruePower@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 hour ago

I was a kid late 90s / early 2000s. Microsoft was the silly pinball game on my grandmas computer, drawing dicks on paint with my friends, learning to type in school, and Master Chief.

When you were a kid in the early 2000's, you didnt know about things like bill gates being a pedophile and "microslop", you just knew that on friday night you were going to go over to your friends house and play halo and gears on their xbox. Those were simpler times

Yes, though I think of them more as the times I unknowingly supported a company that was actively contributing to the death of digital literacy in the western world.

So, tomato potato — or whatever.

It's okay to look back fondly at the fun you had in childhood

No issue with that at all, merely sharing my perspective.
